Ok, so here is what my syscon spits out. Well... That will be the reason :( Is it even worth trying to fix this?

Yes although that was very easy, the IHS almost fell off on it's own after applying a little bit of heat. Interesting, it says: ERROR]: 0xb0002002 (FATAL) XDR Link not initilized. directly in the syscon. Gonna post the full syscon later today. No I haven't, again, very helpful, thanks!

I see, for some reason, the error never showed up in the log and I did overlook that it it is showed together with the shutdown command. The error is 2002 - XDR Link not initialized, I did damage a 0,1uF cap next to the CELL, when deliding it and I replaced it, but it looks like somehing went...

Depending on where you live, there will be different options I like Weller, but that's a personal preference. I'd...

So I registered here, because I need help fixing a PS3, I also collect PlayStations just for fun, sadly missing the portables tough....

Hi, so the story is that I did repasted my CECHC a while ago, while doing so I damaged the rubber foot (cover) which covers the screw for the Top Plate. This anoyed me so I decided to buy any broken fat lady just to savage that part, so I got myself a YLOD CECHG for 20€. When I got it, I...
