Sorry to bump this old post, are they insulating the negative solder pads/strips to prevent the tantalums from bridging the outer solder pads to them? the center section where the mask has been removed, that's essentially the same plane as the inner solder pads right?

Thoughts on these? My OCD wants to just put 4 on each of the previous Tokin pads, with a jumper wire on each pad as well https://www.newark.com/panasonic/2r5tpe330m7/tantalum-capacitor-330uf-2-5v/dp/98W0348

Felix, you're the most helpful person on this forum. You're actually the person who helped me get my Syscon codes a while back. Now I just need to find out how to solder these caps with the jumper wire Since I'm replacing all 4 RSX Tokins, Should I run 4 Jumper wires (one where each Tokin used...

So, I've seen a few videos on YouTube of people replacing the Tokins with electrolytic and the system performs as normal. Obviously tantalums are smaller and don't require them to be adjusted/moved about in order to fit under the top metal shield Here's my question: Tantalums seem to require a...

@RIP-Felix Your comment regarding DATA Farms piqued my interest. Like I said before, I wasn't the original owner and purchased it about a year after launch, 2007 July... I recall was when it was delivered. Of course I never got to see it's startup/shutdown or usage stats until I installed CFW...

It's super convenient that's for sure, assuming the error log is being reported correctly (@M4j0r any way we can get the timestamps fixed ) I just assumed most people who were buying those small boards for soldering to their PS3 were all using CFW, but I'm starting to notice that not as many...

@RIP-Felix Friend of mine is gonna loan me his PSU to do a quick swap/test. Thanks so much for your thorough break down of my error log, that really helped

I bought it on ebay 1 year after PS3 launched. Most of those hours are indeed from me haha. Yes it was sealed (I've taken it apart many times to clean it out and repaste)

Here's the log file from my SYSCON chip. What do these say about my YLODs?

Just installed it, what exactly can I use it for?

Don't think it's overheating. CPU never goes above 60C and RSX never above 53C I watch the temps from a web browser on my phone

Will SYSCON be accessible via CFW eventually? I don't have the equipment to perform the hardware mod unfortunately. I have a 4USB CECHE that YLOD whenever I play demanding games (Killzone 2, GT6, Uncharted 3, Dragon Age: Inquisition) Less graphically demanding games play just fine Thanks for...
