Need a new choke coil for my PS3 board to pickup DCS Track Signal

Why not solder it in correctly?  That is probably a custom wound part. G

@GGG Because it wasn't wound correctly and was bent all to you know what and looked like it was damaged during factory install. Doubt it's custom, inductor choke coils are cheap, standardized and common in most all electronics that need to separate out frequency waves. Just need to know what the uH tolerance is and the max DC current specs for the ones MTH used on these boards and I'll be good to go...

If you really want another inductor, best would be to identify the exact part designation on the board, not to mention the exact type of PS/3 board, diesel, steam, PS32 board, etc.  If I need a part like that, I typically grab one from a dead board.

I had one ps3 board that had poor signal maybe 2 to 3 if you're lucky All I had to do was solder the legs that were not soldered, and the board took off perfect 10's every time!

@Alan Mancus That makes me feel good and gives me hope. My coil was damaged itself so that didn't work for me. Hoping a new one works like this!
