It's been a bit since I've looked at the console. Been kinda busy, not enough time to dedicate to it. What do you mean by software resets? Every time I try to lookup your suggestions in google I don't seem to get quite the right thing. My GoogleFu is lacking it seems. I remember trying to...

I have a DS4 that I'm positive is a clone. The one thing that's tripping me up are these buttons. I swear I've seen them before, but I've been searching google for the past two hours and I still can't find them. Ideally I'm trying to find the listing the controller came from so I can learn more...

Ah. Where are the test points for that? I'm not finding much on the PS3 dev wiki for my board (COK-001).

SB UART? Not sure what SB is.

I took a measurement of RSX_PLL with a different meter, and it's reading around 3.7K. The first one is autoranging so it might have been trying to do something funky while measuring.

This was the GLOD console, the one I can't get AV output except in safemode. I posted the bringup log on page 127. According to your graphic my BE_PLL is about double and my MC2_VDDIO is half. Not sure if those are a problem. Any ideas? That is pretty wacky.

I got those measurements. I misread what you were saying and didn't realize they were resistance measurements, not voltage. I could've done them earlier, but whatever. RSX_VDDIO - 45.1R FBVDDQ - 101.8R RSX_PLL - .929K RSX_VDDC - 2.1R VDDR - 355.3R YC_RC_VDDIO - 12.7R BE_VDDC - 2.5R VDD_MEM -...

Also, this one was dropped at some point. Several of the standoffs in the bottom half of the case are snapped off, and one of the screws holding the board in the bottom half was under the board.

Not quite what I wanted to hear. I don't know of anyone who has the tools to do that. That's wacky. Data farm for what?

I setup the other one to get a bringup log. I can't see much there, and there aren't any additional error in the errlog. Also got a becount >$ becount becount Bringup : 2101 times Shutdown: 339 times Power-on: 17day 00hour 14min 27sec This one is pretty "young"

Given that the issue I had with my console is likely difficult to track down, I bought another PS3 off ebay. This one was completely unopened, the warranty sticker was on and the original 60gb drive was still in. I checked the errlog, and set it up to grab the bringup log with 12V attached. Not...

I'll try to figure out a way to get all those measurements. There might be some equipment around my makerspace I can use to capture all those simultaneously. Might be a bit until I get that all. Thanks for the help though!! I appreciate all the work everyone here has done to keep these consoles...

I must have been unclear. The errlog I posted is from before I reflowed the thermal monitors and replaced the power/eject board. After I did that, I had the 12V prongs disconnected when I got that bringup log. Right now I'm at a GLOD state. I haven't grabbed a new syscon log since because I've...

I didn't realize how much work was going into documenting all of this. I really wish I found this before the YLOD "fix" that's seemingly everywhere, including iFixit. Fortunately that didn't break my original system, though my foolishness certainly did. I got a new system to try to fix, but I'm...

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. I was really hopeful when I was able to clear the temp sensor error, but this doesn't look great. The real annoying thing is I this is my second console I bought to try to revive, and the first one was untouched until I came along. I was new to fixing PS3s, and...
