Hey, Sorry to exhume that post, but entered an approximately similar issue. Got a non-working console. On the bluray PCB the ribon connector was totally crashed.. I decided to replace it to avoid to do that remarry. Things are it doesn't work.. It takes the disk, the disk spins and nothing...

Hey, About "Voltage and Regulation" and "Power Control", as @RIP-Felix found out 1.0V_BE_VDDC and 1.2V_RSX_VDDC are converted with the IC6103 and IC6201 converter. Seems like the syscon is controlling those. I've got the console booting up, and showing the boot animation but the 1.0V_BE_VDDC...

Hey, Didn't tried anything serious yet, but I buyed a PID controller to control an oven and found out in the documentation how to configure the coefficient and figured I could share it here. It turns out that it is something similar on the IR6500 for the bottom heater but that it isn't...

Wow, so I had hard time finding the feedback for this IC6201 buck controler, it goes through R6224 1K resistor, then R6237 which is unpopulated... But there is the RSX_VDDMONI line going to the B31 pad of the RSX... It looks like it's floating, got 35Kohms on this feedback line. On two other...

Hi all, Got a COK-002 mobo with this couple of errors: ofst[ 16]:err_code:0xa0002031, clock:0xffffffff ofst[ 20]:err_code:0xa0231002, clock:0xffffffff ofst[ 24]:err_code:0xa0002031, clock:0xffffffff ofst[ 28]:err_code:0xa0231002, clock:0xffffffff Fan starts then YLOD in like 200..300ms. There...

Hi, There are the same symptoms when unlocking the internal mode for the syscon (before fixing the checksum). So maybe an issue with the syscon (like a bad checksum)? (I'm pretty new to ps3 debugging, so take that with care :).

Thanks for your help, I was able (I think) to make progress. The issue was the glass, I dropped it: it's less shiny but the result is really better. My guess is that the IR doesn't go through that glass so one have to wait until the glass get hot. Did some experiments at different bottom...

Hi @Shawn Shakir, thanks for your reply! Oh ok, I didn't get that your bottom plate sensor was touching the board. So I guess it doesn't really reach 280°C or the bottom components won't like it? My board is 5cm (~2inches) above the heaters, but there is a glass between them which might be...

Hi all, I'm new here! First of all, congrats! There is a lot of interesting stuff about ps3 on this forum, and a lot of impressive skills! Also thanks a lot for sharing, was able to troubleshoot some ps3 with the syscon but didn't manage to fix them :'). About reballing reflowing, I'm a...
