Hi,
On this picture you have the bottom face of the PS3 Blue Ray Drive's board controller :
Here the BMD-001 Rev1 board :
Most of the components can be accessed on their pins to put an oscilloscope probe, except the main processor SONY CXD5065GB-1 (BMD-002 board) or CXD5063AGG-1 (BMD-001 board), and the flash memory SPANSION AL008D0043-01 (BMD-002 board) or S99-50111-001 (BMD-001 board), because they are BGA.
So I had these components taken out to have access to their signals on the PCB :
Here the BMD-002 Rev 3 board :
So now I can do some reverse engineering on the schematics !

Hi wanted to know is it posible to show which chip on the motherboard is paired with what chip on the bluray board? 60gb model.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThis is not a hardware association.
The fact that a blue ray is linked to a PS3 is done by software security and encryption Keys.
So this is done deeply in both blue ray drive and PS3 softwares, for now nobody did find it !
Thanks for the reply, im sure the software is kept on a chip! which chip is that on the motherboard?
ReplyDeleteSome software parts are stored on the hard drive, some software parts are stored in NAND/NOR flash memory chips.
ReplyDeleteIf you didn't you should watch yesterday's fail0verflow conference, it explains a lot about software on the PS3 !!
Thanks again will do, can you show me which may contain this so i can run some tests on them. Thanks
ReplyDeleteOk, flash memories are in TSOP1 packages.
ReplyDeleteFind a picture of TSOP1 on the internet to see what it looks like, then you'll find the 2 chips on the PS3 ! One on each side of the motherboard.
