Hi I did reflow RSX only, hotair, flux, 230 centigrade for 2.5 minutes per chip without IHS. It works. If it breaks down, unfortunately I will switch to PS3 SuperSlim because reballing is quite expensive. Temperature? 33% fan speed, 67 steps maximum in Killzone 3, 72 maximum in The Last of Us...

Hi! I had a manual fan setting of 32% speed The air was warm, and as I say, lower temperatures than thermal paste I will read the error codes for curiosity, the console is 14 years old and it probably won't work anymore, and I don't know if reball makes sense My errors...

And dead again! The console has been working for a week since the last failure Initially, in Killzone 2 I reached temperatures: CELL 79 degrees and RSX 72 degrees. As the IHS of the chips is copper, I used liquid metal between the core and the IHS. In Killzone 2, the drop was significant (69...

When I first time install new caps i dont use hot air and console start working. So i dont have any idea

Hi. Sure I will answer The console died in 2015. The symptoms were strange - console set horizontally = instant YLOD - console set vertically = it entered the XMB, there was even a sound theme but it was hanging on "waves" + YLOD. There was nothing to be done. - Recovery Menu worked but every...

So: - I opened the console - I re-soldered the capacitors at CELL (they were a bit crooked, a year ago I was just learning how to solder) - I did CELL and RSX reflow (hot air, IHS on chips, 230 degrees Celsius for about + - 3 minutes per chip) The console is working again. If it dies again in...

One year after the repair (replacement of capacitors, new paste under IHS), my console died yesterday while watching Netflix. I turn on the console -> I hear the fans -> green with yellow LED -> red flashing LED. Only once since yesterday I managed to turn it on for 30 seconds but it fell...

Hello. I am the owner of the CECHG04 model. After replacing the capacitors and delide RSX and CELL, the temperatures I achieve at 32% fan speed are 76 degrees Celsius on CELL and 72-73 on RSX (when I played TLOU). Should I worry about something? I have given enough paste. I used Arctic MX-4

YLOD is not just a reason that you don't have enough capacitors. I had the same case and I just soldered the capacitor badly in some place -> the console cut off the power supply immediately for safety. I soldered the capacitors again and the PS3 started working

Today I was able to solder these 4 capacitors and 1 resistor which I broke off earlier. In addition, I soldered 16 new tantalum capacitors in place of four NEC TOKINs. I tried to solder them like damaged components with HOTAIR (thanks to which they would be soldered flat), but I gave up when at...

Yes, I use tantalums. And I was so stupid yesterday - I did not have sound in TLOU and I blamed it ... with the NEC capacitor from CELL not removed (at the very beginning I desoldered only 3 out of 4). As I soldered in (16 in total, 4 instead of NEC) everything ... the console did not want to...

That's how I found everything after ID, in my case I need several 0.1uF 10V capacitors (I ordered 1uF because I didn't see smaller capacity where I order), one 240 + -0.5% resistor and one 22uF 6.3V capacitor. I am only surprised that the console needs them for full efficiency since every point...

I found this PDF for my motherboard. Thanks for your help

Hi I need your help. As I wrote in the first post. PS3 CECHG came to life thanks to the guide from this site. Currently a) turns on b) PSN, Online works But I have 3 problems a) during removal by force (soldering iron) NEC Tokin I accidentally removed 3 small resistors (I attach a photo in the...

Hi Thanks to the guide, I was able to resurrect CECHG04, the console was broken for 5 years. Currently, after replacing 3 NEC TOKIN (2 for RSX and 1 for CELL, motherboard side according to the guide), the console is booting, the shop is running, updating, it even started the game from the disc...
