Re: DONE *** Feb. 9, 2008 NEW BluRay GB... *
I've opened up 4 of these sleds, and so far I've found thresholds @ 21, 22, 28, & 42. The 42 runs @ 5.2 volts and gets fairly hot fast. Not sure if this would have been a good working PS3 sled or not. Seems this heat would eventually destroy the diode.
The 28 didn't want to light at all at first. No LED faint light or anything. It was drawing the mA, but had no voltage drop across it. So I slowly increased the mA until it was @ 38 then BAM, it lit. I backed down the mA and found its threshold at 28 and it works fine now and runs around 4.5 volts. I think the 21 has a voltage around 4.1 or so, not too sure though as I didn't log that reading.
Any ideas on the 42?
