Hello, I have a motherboard from a 2004 slim, 45 nm RSX. CXM4024R encoder is dead, but RSX is likely fine. Anyone interested in it to salvage the ship ? I'm in the EU, drop me a PM if you are. Thanks.

I don't have this model of PSU as spare, I only have older from CECHC, different size, 4 pins for the 5V, and PSU for SLIM model. I tested it, there is 5V on the 3 pin connector. The 12v are delivered when the PSU receive the signal from the console. I don't know how to test the 12v, I saw that...

Hello, I've got a CECHK03 FAT PS3, with an unknow past. The console has a weird kind of YLoD that I never encountered. As soon as the console has power (as soon as the AC cable is plugged and the ON/OFF switch enabled), the console made 3 beep and a blinking red light forever. It won't...

Hello everyone, Just got my hand on a CECHK03 FAT PS3. As soon as it get power, there is 3 beep, red light blinking forever, it does this even without touching the power button. I've connected to the syscon, the only error i see is A0801001. It was hard to connect because the console try to...

Thanks for your reply. Yes, that what I was thinking, but since I had spare capacitor, I tried to replace 1 tokin to give it a try. I had this on 2 motherboard from unopened console, after thermal paste replace. I carrefully removed the radiator, but it seems that the solder were faulty and...

Hello, Thanks for getting me updated. This was a greal deal. Can we go to PM, I've got a few question to ask you ?

No problems, luckily you'll be able to bring it back to a new life ! keep us updated. I have 2 CECHC04 and a COK-002 that I can give it for free if you can pay the shipping (France to ? so may be expensive...), drop me a PM if you're interrested.

For North American folks here (or near the same contient), I spotted what looks like a good deal, a CECHE01 (BC model) with random YLoD, seems likely to be the capacitor : https://www.ebay.com/itm/393953372468 If someone purchase it, fix it, let me know ! Unfortunelatey the shipping to Europe...

This. You can remarry with any rebug FW when you have a drive plugged in.

Thanks for your reply. That's sad... it was working before I repaired the drive, and launched a game, artefacts and voila. The console doesn't have a lot of running time, I've good another BC model with 1000h of power on and it's working flawlessy. That's a gambling, here in France the CECHC04...

Hello, Following the tutoriel using the linked CFW result in an error, it will fail, tryed on different consoles. Just replace the CFW with Rebug 4.82 REX and it will work flawlessy. Thanks for your workls.

Thanks for your reply. Sorry, the thread is huge, there is a lot of replies, I don't know exactly where to start. Could you give me the link to the post with the details on how to do the voltage measurements ? Thanks

Hello everyone I got my hands on an CECHC04 PS3, flagged as "faulty lens", won't read discs. The warranty seal wasn't tampered, the console was sold as it. On the original hard drive smart, I saw that the console has only 145 days of use, for approximatively 500 power/on off. First, when I...

Edited, wrong place, I created my own topic https://www.psx-place.com/threads/ps3-syscon-error-a0801001-a0801004.37094/ Don't knew where to post it. Anyways, many thanks for this guide and your works.

You can't use electrolytics capacitor, they can't handle the work on this system. You need to use tantalum caps, 330 uf, 2.5V, like mentionned on the first page. Before trying to replace the nec tokin, you better should use the syscon reader method...
