it worked before just fine. Im not saying the necs were good, but theres no way the necs could have gone from 80% working to 0% working after just changing the psu. And its giving me an rlod ive never seen before. Some people told me that the cell or rsx are probably dead which is what I think...

I was getting rlod while in tough games. My first thought was that the necs are failing, but before I precceded to do anything I thought I would change the psu cause who knows maybe that was the issue. And before all this was done the ps3 worked fine. So no its not a different issue. Something...

the psu was shorted. I swapped the psu it already had with another one to test something but I guess I grabbed a bad psu. I found it randomly in one of my drawers while looking for parts. The fuse in my house blew and everything obviously turned off. I then put the psu it had before and it gave...

Should the positive and negative ends of the nec capacitors be bridging? No right?

Heres a bit of a sad one. I wont go in depth, but basically I put a faulty/shorted psu on my ps3 and it fried it. I then put a fresh, working psu and its giving me an immediate rlod when I press the power sensor. No green light at all, no nothing. Just a rlod. So far ive only checked all the...

it was the same psu model. Well, guess Ill do a syscon diagnosis. But even that seems pointless.

Long story short, my ps3 was shutting off and giving me rlod in demanding games even though the temps werent high at all. My first thought was that the nec tokins are probably dying, and when my ps3 tries to run a tough game the necs just cant provide enough power. But, before I messed with...

Also its a bc ps3. Exact model is CECHC04.

Hi, So about 3 days ago I got a ps3 with rlod for like, 30 bucks (in box!) and after doing a syscon diagnosis I did a quick reflow to it. Put the console back together and somehow, it worked. Well, it wasnt that easy, the reflow took about 20 mins and I actually think I did a "proper" reflow...

yes i have a uart reader and ive used it a couple of times on my previous ps3s. But wouldnt the errors be kind of the same wether it was a nec issue or a rsx issue? Looking at the error list, im not seeing anything that specifies a nec capacitor issue. Is there an error code that could signify a...

Just for your info, ive broken 2 cechc04s so far, so I want to do this properly. Whats the most common issue with rlod ps3s that havent been opened up/tampered with? I thought that just replacing the necs would 90% fix the issue, but I think youtube has kinda fooled me when it comes to this...

youre in for a ride dude. Dont want to be discouraging, but this is a bad situation youve gotten into. Reflows dont really work (for a long time at least) and its easy to damage something. Having a working bc unit that has been delided is really rare. You had a really good long lasting system...

Hen really is a pain in the ass when it comes to pkg files. Ive always had issues with pkg games, and the only times I could get them working is when a crack.pkg came with them. Anyway, I installed apollos tools to activate my ps3, and then used it to install the .rap i had on my usb. It...

but he didnt do anything to the necs. Why would they be broken? Im thinking that he put too much pressure on the board and broke a solder ball on the cell or rsx or even something else. Since the console worked previously, the necs shouldnt be an issue.

I managed to build a working ps3 fat from random parts that I had around. Some parts were pretty corodded (mainly the metal shieldings) but I dont think this is the issue. Anyway, the ps3 runs great. Ive only delided the rsx, and the temps are ok. Usually sitting around 68c on the xmb, and with...
