Pressure and eraser mod is the same thing. I just prefer to use pressure instead of eraser when talking about it. I was asking for the delid because you mentioned clamps and I though you meant the clamps that people use when reattaching the CPU lid with silicon. I wouldn't suggest it unless a...

I know RipFelix had a similar issue with his R2D2 Xbox 360 when trying to jailbreak it. Working when not in the case and broken when assembled. He confirmed it was a BGA fault by pressing on the board slightly while it was on which caused screen artifacts. You can find the video on his YT Have...

In short: 4004A Super Slim with 12gb flash and no SYSCON errors had faulty 5v to 1.8v wifi/bluetooth regulator causing power and wireless controller issues. regulator was disconnected and the power problems seem to have stopped. shorted components still on board and on module board itself...

HOLD UP WHAT?? 0xb0002002 I have NEVER heard of a B error before. They are supposed to always be prefixed with an A according to the devwiki: The error codes follows the format:  ARSTCERR , where:  A (Fixed) = This is always "A" Could this be why it is not being saved to the error log? Or maybe...

Have you also delided the RSX? 2002 in the wiki just says RSX so maybe you damaged it in some way while doing so? I would not exclude a damaged trace on/next to the CELL too. 2203 is the only error to mention XDR Link not initialized but it could also just be a coincidence. Here is the...

Do you have a part number for the caps? Just to remove any doubts about ESR and impedance. I can see 10 caps (5 for each prodilazer) in the picture so I assume the other side has 12 (6 each) with no bridge? This is what I mean for what the error state looks like: (red arrow points to it)...

Some easy things I assume you already did: Send "bringup" to the syscon to start the console. After YLOD happens (when the power LED is blinking red) use "shutdown" to clear the error state. It should display the error code. Make a copy of your current syscon error log and then compare that...

I don't really understand what you are asking here. That GPU is dead (the 3034 and 4003 errors). You could try to necromance it with an old school towel and heat trick or a heatgun special but that won't help keep it alive for more than a few minutes probably, enough to backup your saves and...

I don't think you will get access if you just wait. Ask your question here in the starting line and someone should be able to help you.

While I don't see any broken traces if there is no other damage I would call that the culprit. It just makes sense to me. Then again, I haven't done a delid so idk ;) Maybe someone more knowledgeable will confirm the postmortem autopsy.

A 3034 error with glitches are symptoms of a dying/dead GPU. Even if you did it right it would not have helped. Only a RSX replacement can save this console. Still, for learning experience, what did you delid? The RSX, CELL or both? If the RSX: check for chipped corners and/or deep scratches on...

There isn't a way to easily test for individual failure as far as I know. I think the original advice is to replace one, try the console to see if it works, repeat until success. Here are some pictures on how they are connected: (Research/Experimental) - NEC/TOKIN Capacitors Replacement - YLOD...

You should be fine. I don't really understand GLOD too much myself, as I am struggling with it on one of my consoles too, but if it was dead it would have failed with an instant YLOD before even getting close to safe mode. Not sure if the damaged traces will cause you problems if you try to...

Every PS3 model can play PS1 games using software emulation. Cobra (comes with Evilnat CFW, idk about Rebug) allows you to play burned discs as well as original/official ones. Iso files can be played with webMAN/multiMAN/ManaGunZ but I haven't really tried it myself. There are many tutorials out...

The 2501A is really a keeper! CFW support with 40/45 nm efficiency is the best of both worlds. Only big thing missing is HW PS2 compatibility but then again SW comapatibily is still really good for most games IMO. I would keep that one unless the fat is a HW PS2 compatible and you actually plan...
