Hey, I had this problem last week. In my case, one resistor on the Rsx was loose. IT had to desolder when I was pulling Rsx from the board, so check resistors on the Rsx, if your resistor mod is ok
Hello. I had that same problem last week. Console had firmware 4.41 but I had glod. When you are connected to SB Uart, try go to safe mode and look on the log. When you will shutdown console normalny, in log you should see "rsx driver couldn't be load" or something like that. Check carefully for...
ERROR]: 0xb0002001 (FATAL) XDR Link not initilized.
This error means that one of RAM couldn't start. It could be a faulty RAM, I had error 2002XDR link not initialized but I made a mistake with a cpu reball. If you didn't reflow this board I think IT will be dead ram.
Try to unistall all homebrew apps and install again cfw. I have read that homebrew apps caused a soft conflict and PS3 had 1601 and 1701 error. That person WHO unistalled all homebrew apps wrote that this problem never come back so give it a try.
This ones with NEC TOKIN near the RSX. There are 4 NEC's, two on bottom side, two on top side of the board. You can try change 1 NEC on bottom side of the board for 4 tantalum capacitors, and see if this problem will appear again.
Hey, I fixed another consoles with errors below, it could be helpful for someone:
A0203010 - DYN001 motherboard, fuse 6301 was bad, after replacing console boots perfectly
A0313032 - COK002, SEM001 - In my cases this error appears when some resistor next to IC6304 is faulty. If you got this...
Hey ! After long time I decided to back to repairing PS3. Here are some error codes, that may help anyone, which I had and successfully repair, or not.
1002 – Faulty Nec on RSX side
3032 – faulty IC6304 (COK 002 board)
4003/4034 – bad solder on IC6305
A0802203 – Scratched CPU on corner while...
Hey ! I had error 3004 on COK-002, but I removed all the NEC's around RSX and didn't add the wire, when I added wire the error was gone. I have DIA-002 board with this error and also with all NEC's removed, replaced by tantalum capacitors but still got the error 3004. In next week I will test...
Hey ! Check PS6001. In my case when i got this error on COK-002 it was bad PS6001.
Reflowing a CPU didn't work on error 3032, so I have to search further ;)
So, at this moment I have 2 consoles with GLOD: CECHG with error 3040 (starship2), and CECHC with south bridge glod (2203). Is there any...
Hey ! If you have a 3034 error unfortunately it is a BGA issue. When I got a 3034 error I am doing RSX reballing and it's gone, but in that 4001 I don't know that is caused by RSX or CELL. I reballed a CECHG04 RSX with 3034 error, and now I have 3032 error. I am doing reflow of CELL right now...
Honestly I am in camp 2 and 3 ;) I know repairing PS3 isn't very easy and PS3 have a lot of chips/condensators/fuses/etc. that can make an YLOD. But I am really enjoying repairing those great consoles. And I am honest with people, I write what I did, and show photos, because I want to be honest...
