Sorry, it's been a hot minute and I got confused about the error code. It was a 4002 and 3034. Here is the full log: bringup [SSM] state: 0000 -> 0101 Bringup Mode #0 (0xFF) [SSM] ssmCb_OnStartingBePowOn() called. [SSM] First Boot. [SSM] Bringup mode : syspm_stat=00000000/00000000 [POWSEQ]...

Damn I didn't receive an email notification for your reply, sorry for the delay. I've shelved the console since my last post. It was throwing 3033 and 3034 codes which went back to 1002 after redoing the capacitors for the 200000th time. I've been defeated :tranquillity: Thanks for your...

I looked for a way myself and wasn't able to find a solution even with the UART device. I'm not sure it's possible. If you find a way let me know, I'll do the same. Good luck.

Could just be silence because people aren't too sure how to help with your particular issue. The pros seem to be on break from this thread which is totally understandable considering how much free time they sacrifice to help out. Don't feel like you're pestering anyone, this lovely community...

Sorry wish I could help but my knowledge on this shit is very limited. https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Syscon_Error_Codes#1601_(CELL_Livelock_Detection) Possible causes for 1004 are a failing power supply or a GPU issue. 2130 is a thermal sensor issue on the CPU. The link I shared can provide a...

Nope. Could work as well, but what I did was connect one wire on diag, one wire on the motherboard's ground plane (The bronze colored surface that runs around the edge of the motherboard) and then bridged the ends of the wires together and connect that bundle to GND on the USB. You don't have...

For starters you typed the command wrong. It's supposed to be CXRF. Second: for me, I had to solder the diag wire to the ground wire (which is soldered to the ground plane on the board) and that then goes to GND on my USB (Please note this was exclusively for internal mode, otherwise just using...

Banging my head against the wall at this point. The CPU issue is worked out, but this 3004 is driving me nuts. For whatever reason the resistance on the RSX caps will not go above 02.0ohms no matter how many caps I use... Surely all these caps aren't dead/bad and I magically picked the perfect...

I have looked at other places, including RS and it's actually much more expensive than Mouser. RS would be $160AUD for 35 caps. eBay is around $80 so still not ideal considering the high chance of me damaging the system beyond repair assuming I haven't already :biggrin2:

Unfortunately it would cost me over $100AUD for the panasonic capacitors through Mouser. Personally I don't think it's worth it since I only paid like 20 bucks for the PS3 and the chips are destined to fail anyway.

btw could bad tokins near the RSX chip also be the cause of 3003 codes? I haven't replaced the RSX tokins on the underside yet because I've been focusing my attention on the CPU. The resistance of the cap replacements near the RSX is about 2.9 ohms whereas the resistance on the cell side is...

Thanks for your response. A bit of an update, I received the capacitors I ordered and I replaced all 4 tokins on the back of the board and now the PS3 is giving 3003 codes. Felix has been assisting me in another thread but no luck so far. He reckons it might be because I'm using cheap...

I'll give it a go tomorrow and report back. Cheers

Yeah it's definitely eye opening and makes me appreciate professional services a lot more.

Welp I'm stumped :/
