Does your Original PS3 have a diagnosed RSX graphics-processor fault requiring specialist replacement and BGA rework? This £99.99 listing describes our Original PS3 RSX service. It is currently out of stock; please check availability before arranging drop-off or posting your console.
Why RSX Work Requires a Confirmed Diagnosis
A console that shuts down with YLOD, fails to produce a picture or has graphics problems does not automatically need reballing. Power delivery, other motherboard components and processor faults can produce overlapping symptoms. RSX work is appropriate only when assessment supports that repair.
The RSX is soldered to the motherboard through a ball-grid-array connection. Reballing renews the solder-ball connections; it cannot make a defective processor internally sound. This advertised service includes replacement of the faulty RSX rather than assuming new solder alone will repair it.
Specialist BGA Preparation and Testing
The processor is removed using specialist equipment, and the connection area is prepared before the replacement RSX is fitted with leaded solder balls. The condition of the board and connection pads affects whether that work is feasible. This is distinct from simply heating a processor while it remains on the board.
Following successful rework, the console receives operational testing. A working result is checked before return, but repair of the RSX does not renew every other ageing component in the console.
Previous Heating and Repair Limitations
Consoles previously subjected to heat-gun repair are excluded from this particular service. Uncontrolled heating can damage the board or affect subsequent rework, so please disclose that history before booking or sending anything.
Missing components, damaged pads, board distortion or other severe previous damage may prevent repair. This listing does not include a 40nm RSX conversion or promise that every Original PS3 can be restored. Availability, suitability and any different work must be confirmed first.
What the rsx reball repair includes
• Replacement RSX fitted using specialist BGA equipment

Price, options and important details
The listed price is £99.99. This service is currently out of stock. Check availability before arranging the work. Consoles previously heated using a heat gun are not accepted for this service. Successful rework cannot guarantee that unrelated ageing components will never fail.
Warranty and assessment terms
Qualifying successful reball work has a six-month warranty from the repair date covering the original repaired fault. It does not cover unrelated faults elsewhere in the console. If the repair is unsuccessful, unrepairable or declined after assessment, £20 is retained for diagnosis; it is credited against a repair that proceeds. Postage is separate.
