    PS3 (Research/Experimental) - NEC/TOKIN Capacitors Replacement - YLOD

    Try to get the codes one at a time. I've had cases where the "errlog" command brings back an empty log like you have there. "errlog get 00" "errlog get 01" etc..

    PS3 Help with shorted cap value

    Hello friends. Does anyone have a Dyn001 board lying around and can measure the value of a capacitor for me? Is the bigger cap between TH4002 and the edge of the board. There is a small diode to the right of the cap if the edge of the board is towards you, further right is a small flat ribbon...

    PS3 Fault finding YLOD with the SYSCON - First steps and Error reporting

    Connect to the syscon again and type "powerstate" in the few seconds it's on. Try it a few times in the seconds that it's on to see which power rails come up and which not since it's such a short time it stays on.

    PS3 (Research/Experimental) - NEC/TOKIN Capacitors Replacement - YLOD

    So I got my tantalum caps from the place I won't name yesterday. After replacing the 2 Tokins for RSX on one side of the board the console booted right up after it initially only stayed on for a second. I'll get me some decent caps from RS-Electronics or LCSC just to be safe though. For now it's...

    PS3 (Research/Experimental) - NEC/TOKIN Capacitors Replacement - YLOD

    Thanks. Interesting video, the caps has already been shipped so gonna try them regardless. If the console is unstable i'll get caps from RS-Electronics. Not wanting to order from Digikey or Mouser comes down to the shipping cost. Never heard of LCSC but i'll check them out.

    PS3 Fault finding YLOD with the SYSCON - First steps and Error reporting

    I googled the error codes and read some posts where people reckon it could be the AV chip too but it seems the retimer is the more common culprit. I'll start by just ordering it first. I do have 3 super slims too I have to open and take a look at so one of them might be a donor.

    PS3 Fault finding YLOD with the SYSCON - First steps and Error reporting

    H Hello. Seems I lucked out and it's the HDMI circuit that is faulty according the syscon errorlog Gonna order the HDMI chip now. Any idea where a good place is to get the AV chip? There is one store on Ali that sells it but their picture for the chip doesn't scream authenticity. Mine uses...
