Whoa.. thats scummy of Sony.. Been a while since last update. Finally got time to replace the tokins. Replaced with same one that I had replaced RSX with, 4x330uf per tokin. At first tried one side - still same A0093003 error. Then replaced the other side and bridged positive sides - still...

You should just check PS4 PSU power output rating and compare with PS3 slim PSU that you have, it is written on PSU cover somewhere. If your PS3 slim PSU has less amps than your dead PS4 PSU its definitely an issue and will cause shutdown on load to protect system. There are some revisions of...

Hello, Maybe its nothing special but I thought that I will share story how I fixed PS4 which was struck by lightning and maybe will be useful for people who would like to fix WLOD if it is really worth it. TL;DR at the end. Some back story: Like few years ago friend of a friend house was...

Im not expert at this, but does your PS3 PSU has enough amps? I mean if 12V and 5V amps are same or more. If less it could be a problem and that could cause shutdown when it cant supply enough amps. You also could point some external fan to keep psu cool to test if thats the case. Because I...

Interesting. I would think, that putting thermal pads behind RSX would be better in this case. But reading description it looks like you have fixed many consoles using this method on CELL, sounds like pretty reliable way. At first I was tempted to test this method on RSX out of curiosity, but...

Yea, looks like PS3 fats need a really good thorough testing to eliminate problems like these. Reballing would be the ideal way for fixing this issue, but dont have equipment for that or willing to pay for reballing. But maybe I will still try to reflow or find a way to put more pressure to keep...

I see. Now Im more interested to test console to see if its truly working well. I will be updating this post when I finish 2 first chapters. I will check syscon fan profiles and try to modify it too. Thank you. --EDIT 2023-07-19-- Ehhh.. Wanted to change 3.3v battery because time and display...

Im hoping youre mistyping error code, since bringup shows 1701. Have you tried replacing HDD and/or restoring OS? From psdevwiki, 1701 (CELL BE ATTENTION), at the end: If you havent missed this part, you will need to wait for someone else more knowledge or who had same issue and fixed, to help...

Thank you for your reply. Good idea for thermal pad trick but went with deliding. I will need to do it anyways and its a way better solution anyway, even if its includes high risk. This time had better tools and iFixit Jimmy tool worked really well! Very clean delid. Now need to test it. Now its...

Update to my old post when I gave up on repairing and now decided to give a try again. https://www.psx-place.com/threads/fault-finding-ylod-with-the-syscon-first-steps-and-error-reporting.30100/page-90#post-311888 TL;DR from my old posts - CECHL03, VER-001 - Would work up to 10mins, shut offs...

Hello, I have similar or maybe exactly same problem. Same motherboard model. CECHL03, VER-001 Here is my old post, 3rd console in that message (URL) I had bricked it while jailbreaking and it shutdown in the middle of patching NOR. Today, recently unbricked and getting same errlog as you. So I...

Thank you very much! Patched using PyPS3patcher using nofsm command (more details in Patch log). Just to be double sure checked with PS3DumpChecker and it says now: ROS0 Version: 488.00; ROS1 Version 488.000 I think its good, now just need to solder all the wires again, it will take some time...

Yes, used PS3 Toolset to patch Flash memory and console shut down while patching. The video is just a reference, in case I was explaining my issue wrong. Thank you, I will wait for his reply. --EDIT-- Checked my dumps, maybe I have indeed chosen wrong bin file to patch my dump? My original NOR...

Oh.. Thought it is the same method, mistook it for this ** ** www.ps3xploit.net > Domain no Longer owned by team** (NEW URL = http://ps3toolset.com) > Domain no Longer owned by team** (NEW URL = http://ps3toolset.com/bgtoolset/. My bad. Because I followed this video , but for 4.87 version (process is same) and console shut off in the middle of flashing NOR memory (27:18 in video). After that couldnt turn on console anymore. Followed this...

Hello, I dont know if Im posting in right thread or should create my own thread about problem, sorry if I messed up. Some story of this PS3, CECHL03, VER-001: Bought it for cheap and wanted to try to fix it. Previously it would shut off randomly (thought that it was because of overheating) and...
