PS3 reflow motherboard support jig for 80gb model

You too can now use the same motherboard jigs as we use ourselves. In our workshop this jig is used in conjunction with the NASA approved ZT-7 reflow centre for working on motherboards. Also suitable for Jovy reflow machines and other brands.

These jigs will prevent board flex whilst reflowing or reballing! Board flex is the number 1 cause of failed repairs, so it is essential that you lock down the motherboard.

This jig is suitable for all 80Gb Sony Playstation 3's.

Reflowing, reballing or fixing xbox motherboards is not easy and requires a steady and secure mounting system. Whilst pcb holders and clamps may work sometimes, they are not reliable. The problem with most systems available currently is that they dont prevent board flex. These metal jigs support the motherboard in many places, ensuring that there is no flexing during heating.

What you get

1. One high quality 3mm thick aluminium metal support jig for the 80 Gb PS3 motherboard types.
2. Jig support bolts
3. Support bolt nuts

How do they arrive

Fully assembled. All you need to do is to place the motherboard on the supports and secure it down with the supplied nuts. Please note that you may need to adjust them slightly if it is a tigh fit. You will need a Phillips screwdriver for this. After any adjustment, each time you wish to connect a motherboard just align the motherboard holes over the bolts, then fasten the nuts.

How do they work

Once you have fastened your motherboard, you will need to position your board under a heat source. The holes in the jig are to enable a preheater to be able to operate under the motherboard and to provide access.

Please note that your support jigs may have marks on them. This is as a result of the manufacturing process and will not affect operation. These jigs only fit PS3 motherboards and are suitable for PS3 repairs.  (not slimline models)
