Nobody needs to be or feel insulted. @Timbo9876 is not here just making false claims. I see that mostly he is trying to help ... And actually he is right when he says GLOD/artifacts can be affected by pressure (more than heat). I have seen it often myself also, because it is a common thing as...

Good job on that 65nm COK 002. Happy to hear that. Those MMIO access errors are probably because the address is wrong, w 194... probably a typo. Should be something like w 3254 21 EB But remember the training data only matters when you have RSX:FLEXIO_ID error. If you have some other error...

It is not related to the training data. It is a failed reball sorry. It is a difficult thing. Even some professionals cannot do it reliably. So you need a lot of previous practice reballing to be able to do it right, and without destroying. From those errors it could be several things, but...

Both will work fine. Just that the APS 231 will have less headroom, as it is a cut down version of the 226. The thing doesnt even have screws haha. The lines directly after the "sum:0x..." lines are the ones that need to be modified. So in your case from your last picture you should write: w...

And get your eid_root_key ! This is the first thing to do after installing CFW. Because only with this unique key you can decrypt your hdd and access your data... Among other things. So get your key now, put it in a safe place and probably one day you will be happy that you did. It only takes...

Also this is one of those boards that have that black plastic protection for the CPU

We dont really know yet. But theres something dodgy about COK-001. Something about the design that makes it prone to those issues. Doesnt have to be our fault when doing the frankenstein process, as we have seen it in all kinds of machines. But It's just not normal that so many COK-001 are...

In the EU theres Victor in Romania for some time, and I am in Spain. Better than shipping around to America for sure! But CECHA and CECHB are more difficult and risky. Many get other problems (common example PS2 blackscreen), and then it is also difficult to find parts because they didnt exist...

Right, but theres also - Silver disc = CD/Data... Should we get rid of that one as well, to make it all more simple/easy to spot? Nah, no need... I understand why it may seem good idea for some people, but really Each one had their reason to exist. Including the gold PS2 DVD. The distinction...

Hmm, but this step may be tricky, right? Unless I am missing something, To retrieve the old eid_root_key... He would need the old CPU, NAND, SYSCON and everything else "working". But if he tried to replace CPU, probably was a last resort because his old CPU was bad in the first place. I always...

Hello, welcome here. It is interesting that you talk about this. SB refers to southbridge, and in your case you are getting failed bittraining, failed SB:FLEXIO_ID with 4003 error code. Bittraining is a process that occurs between the CPU and RSX, and between the CPU and SB. The communication...

Next time you make a reply, please try to make it add something, hopefully something good to the conversation, my good Senior Member. I dont want you to become another member of the hate gang That will be better for everyone including keeping this thread "less cluttered". Also it seems like...

Just because one person or a couple people dont like to hear something, doesnt make it clutter or irrelevant. I believe the board pressure test is a VERY significant thing in diagnosing a GLOD. (The intended subject of this thread). I also dont like certain replies, either because they may seem...

Of course you are entitled to your point of view. But apparently not anymore because he decided that everything should be deleted. It wasnt me... I did not delete anything, I am not a moderator. Also I am a strong proponent of people saying what they think. Hopefully as you say the real...

Though before claiming or spreading stuff like that, I'd still like to see at least one single example of a "broken bump" on an RSX though. Which as far as I am aware, it hasnt actually been found yet. Only speculated. And shouldnt be that hard to find if it actually were that common...
