@RIP-Felix do you know if this 90nm to 40nm can be done without the need of the voltage modification? I'm thinking on "reviving" my old CECHA01 by replacing it's RSX to a 40nm one, but as far as I know, I need another IC for the voltage mod (? .. I may be wrong, I don't know). Can you (or...

@RIP-Felix @Naked_Snake1995 the 3034 error is only fixable by reballing?

As far as I know it's "just" a thermal error. Try cleaning the motherboard from dust, etc. And remove (completely remove) any thermal paste used on the RSX and CELL processors (and the heatsink too). Then apply new thermal paste on the RSX and CELL, close everything, and try turning it on...

Hello y'all I did a Syscon on my CECHK01 (board DIA-002) and got this errors -after replacing one tokin- =================================== ERR 00: FFFFFFFF Magic ERR 01: 00000000 A0081002 FFFFFFFF ERR 02: 00000000 A0093003 FFFFFFFF ERR 03: 00000000 A0081002 FFFFFFFF ERR 04: 00000000 A0093003...

PS3 Model: CECHK01 Board model: DIA-002 what do you mean by "resistance measurement on vddc of rsx?" sorry.

Well... I bought a FT232RL adapter to read the PS3 Syscon. I got this error: =================================== ERR 00: FFFFFFFF Magic ERR 01: 00000000 A0093004 FFFFFFFF ERR 02: 00000000 A0093004 FFFFFFFF ERR 03: 00000000 A0093004 FFFFFFFF ERR 04: 00000000 A0093004 FFFFFFFF ERR 05: 00000000...

Oh yeah, but the thing is that I bought a CECHK with YLOD and I wanted to know if anyone here had success reviving one by replacing the Tokins for Tantalums.

what about a CECHK ??

Sorry if it's off-topic. But, should I get this one instead?:

I don't know if you're replying me directly lol, but here I go with my answer. - I have little soldering skills, it's not that big deal for me, tbh. - Can I use this to get the SYSCON codes?? : It's really cheap, and it says on description: PL2303 Supports 5V Supports 300bps ~ 3Mbps

Hello guys! I'm new here. I find this thread really interesting tbh. I have a PS3 fat (CECHK01) with YLOD, I took it to the technician and he reflowed it, and that's it, the YLOD stills. And I wanted to know if anyone here has successfully revived a CECHK model. If so, please let me know. Sorry...
