I did a very brief testing and everything seems to be fine so far, with one exception: After a few minutes, the fan kicks in and the console gets quite loud. Not sure why this happens as I have cleaned the old thermal paste and applied Artic MX-4 on both RSX and CELL but on the otherhand, this...

Thanks, I will definitely read it :)

Nope, I didn't even try to delid any of the ICs. I heard too many stories where people accidentally destroyed the ICs during delid attempts. I consider myself lucky that I haven't killed anything with my "reflow" and the system actually boots :) Reballing is out of the scope now as I lack both...

Calling what I did a "reflow" is most likely an overstatement because I lack the proper equipment that a skilled technician would have used. I was way too excited that I could read the SYSCON error log and find the root cause of the issue by searching for forum posts. Anyways I will write down...

Yes I am. I've reflowed the RSX and the console now turns on. So far so good :) Haven't tested any games yet but I definetely need to clean that disc drive because it took ages until the game which was left inside the system came out. Reading the SYSCON error log was very useful indeed, thanks...

I've just found an hour long Youtube video about the topic (reading error codes with SYSCON) and managed to order everything that I need from a local store. If it goes well, I will get it on Tuesday.

Thanks pinky, very kind of you! :) Sounds good! I'm trying to locate a guide that tells what hardware and software I need in order to read the error codes. So far I only seem to find the software related things. By the way, that YLOD is delayed by 3 seconds and not 5-10. Does this change...

I assumed that it is easier to follow this way. (As a separate topic) I mean if more than one person is a having a problem and all of them write to a single topic, it is kinda hard to follow but maybe I'm wrong. Anyways thanks for the suggestion, I will definetely consider it if I don't get an...

Hello, I have recently picked up PS3 fat (CECHC04) that wouldn't boot. When trying to start, it went green then yellow after 3 seconds and finally blinking red. I think this is called the yellow light of death (YLOD). The HDD was missing however the warranty seal was still intact and I've...
