UPDATE on this thread after 3 years: i now have reballing station, and i have tried to fix this ps3. After seeing error log again, i had assumptions about southbridge and cell. Since every time i put my hand on psu, console works and when i remove it shuts down. I thought maybe southbridge is...

I will try that, thanks. I really don't know if it's patched. I got it from friend for cheap with that problem. He got it from container that arrived from germany, and he sells those goods and consoles cheap. He also tried to install firmware and couldn't get it to work. Fails at 20%. However...

Hi guys. I can't figure this one out so i need your help. I have slim ps3 CECH-2500 with this problem. Current software is 4.81 and when i try to update it fails on 20%- 22% with error 8002F147. Im doing update trough safe mode since i can't access XMB Things i have tried: Different USB sticks...

Hahaha, well i'm certainly going to thank you for your help. As for ps3, RSX is good and some other components, i will use them as donor parts. I also have phat with dead rsx, so i want to try fankenstein mod for the first time. @GuilloteTesla Just one more question. I have superslim laying...

So there So there is no solution for this? Syscon is damaged and can't be copied over to donor chip. The only way would be swapping cell, syscon and nand.

I understand, but why did i get those 12V when i removed the syscon chip from the board? When i soldered it again i lost 12V. Confusing

Thank you for reply. But is it possible to take shorted syscon, extract data and flash it on working one?

Hi guys. I need help with this ps3 slim. It's 2000 DYN board. It had errors with 12V (light was dim) and upon inspection with thermal camera i saw syscon getting warm. Afrer removing syscon the light was bright and i was able to get those 12V, so syscon was causing short. I have syscon on same...

@NightLess Thank you, every bit helps. I have electronic microscope and i have encountered broken traces before, but they mostly had lines which could be traced to source and repaired. I will investigate further

That's why i got into fixing stuff in a first place. To fix as many YLOD consoles as i can. I hate to see consoles that could be repaired just die out there instead of finding it a new home and learning something in a process. People in my country cast aside YLOD PS3's, hell they cast aside...

So i have a questions i've been meaning to ask since i start doing reballing. It happens that sometimes (mostly on ps3 fat consoles) pads get ripped either during chip lift or while cleaning the area to prepare for reballing. Some pads are connected as i saw on schematics but some are ground. I...

Honton R490 rework station and profile i use: WARNING! Actual temps are lower, and i have measured them with thermometer to get accurate readings, i know it says 280 on machine °C but its not! It's 250. I will calibrate machine in the future when i get to experiment with different profiles, for...

Pads i have ripped:

Hi guys, i wanted to share a possible fix for anyone that might have this syscon error codes combo: 3034, 4402, 1601, 1701. Bit of background: so i bought this slim CECH - 3004A and every time i tried to power it up it would work for several seconds and then shut off, no light. It had mild...

Thank man i will check it out.
