This page is intended to take notes of which parts are compatible between different PS3 models, especially the compatibility between motherboards and cases.

Official refurbishments[edit | edit source]

Official refurbishments are those made in Sony repair centers.

These consoles can have 2 stickers, the new one sticked over the original with a new Datecode.

<@eussNL> Keep in mind that datecode can also include refurbishments. I have a CECHC04 of [8A] with double serial sticker, while my original CECHC04 [7A] only have one serial sticker and my Serviced CECHC04 [7D] has two serial too...

Unofficial refurbishments[edit | edit source]

Unofficial refurbishments are those not made in Sony repair centers.

Reference Tool (DECR-1000)[edit | edit source]

  • Changed Lv0ldr (build date is the only thing that changes, 2 years difference)
  • New hashes on eeprom protected area region 1
  • New RSX revision(B07?)
  • Cannot be downgraded below 1.60? (Needs confirmation)
  • IDPS factory code denotes refurbishment because there is a dedicated code for Sony servicing center in Japan
  • Unsure if official or unofficial refurbishment, although the IDPS factory code seems to point to official refurbishment. The IDPS certificate signature in EID0 should be checked.
