View attachment 77223
Oh ****, This should be my lucky day they delivered the wrong cable ..... I'm missing the FFC Cable, 60 Positions, Opposite side... They deliverd 2 FFC Cable, 60 Positions, same side. AAAAARG
Nope, no luck I have 3.00 revision.. , I have contacted the dealer , they will sent me the cables (60 opposite) for 10€.
So what s what you I Won't use with my Fat 60gb . some sata stuff ?
Yeah I know about the 4.2 and same 60 cabling... but no luck 4me.
I have rev 3.0 and 2 switches at either side on the board, the only thing that matters to me is the Pata switch. as i have cechc04 60 Gb
To inform you all : (and yes I'm 2 lazy to take pics and so on and a ruler, I have better things to do with my time .. )
the dealer mailed me this :
Subject: Cobra-Sales.com - Order confirmation
Hello,
If that's our fault, you could get them for free but you have to prove
it. We check each package to send the good cables.
We know some other resellers send 4.XX cables with their Cobra ODE 3.00.
For this, we can send you both 60 positions cables (1 same side contact
and 1 opposite side contact) for 10€ without tracking and for 15€ with
tracking. Shipping is 24h in Belgium.
yeah well anyway
Sata Qsb
Msg me yr adress , y can have it4free. I will post it 2 you. no problem
Status as far : Waiting for 60 pin opposite cable . Anyway, I'll keep you informed. I must say the installation so far on a cechc04 phat 60gb was very easy.
The only thing that i found not very clear was the documentation itself to be found on the cobra-ode site.
As always the public community is far better at pointing out how to :
- open up yr ps3 (very important !)
- do the cabling, be carefull for certain things do's and don't
- different version pcb : 3.0 and 4.2 and cabling that is different
- alrady had a peek at how to run an iso with cobra on original ps3 firmware. (4.1 in my case)
Cable has arrived from dealer (anyway, it is better to have some cabling extra ! ) @ dave, any chance pointing me out towards a good site for downing ISO ?
So the installation was really easy on a phat 60gb. I think on other models it will be more difficult when in need of soldering the board
I use an old mini-usb phone charger that plugs into the electric socket , then into the mini usb on the cobra back plate , saves having a cable hanging out the front of the ps3.
Hi dave,
in reply of your remark concerning the external USB power (travel) adapter.
I have the following problem that my NTFS formatted 80Gb USB external Drive is not recognized at start.(When it is in FAT it works always ..)
As Dave stated I use now an external USB travel adpater to give enough power to the drive( and thus not using Front USB port of PS3)
But even with external power mostly the drive is not recognized by Cobra-Ode when starting up(Cold).
How DO I solve this.
I start up the PS3 with the cobra-ODE (in EMU mode of course) without the USB drive attached. Then When the ps3 is started , I connect the USB drive which loads the cobra-ode db and cobra-ode iso.
Then it says the cobra-ode firmware is corrupted.
I do PS3 software shutdown and start with controller.
Then It all works for the rest of the day.
I think it is a problem with cobra-oda hardware version and NTFS ? (not 100% sure , just guessing here)
