If that is the issue, couldn't I buy a cell bracer to help the bad pressure issue? Either way ill check if i can get a new IHS.

I thought this was just from the thermal paste being forced out from the pressure - could that mean there is bad pressure on the chips? Here is most the error logs I have saved of the overheating. There is some more if you would like the entire error log (Original error to the overheating)...

I originally bought the console secondhand online with the YLOD, when you would turn it on it would do the YLOD after 3 seconds but just before it would power off the fan would go to full speed. I fixed the YLOD (2110 Error) and replaced the thermal paste. Even after replacing the thermal paste...

I tested it - With the fan on everything stays cold to the touch and doesn't heat up, although it may have been able to cool down in the time it took me to take it apart again (About one and half minutes). When the fan is unplugged though the copper heat pipes do seem to heat up a bit, but I...

Sadly, the console does not have CFW, and i cannot access the XMB as the storage is corrupted because of the overheating. (I Bought this secondhand broken but have since repaired the issue.) I do have two photos of the inner part of the cooler (Where the fan goes) that i will attach. I have...

I am currently using arctic silver 5, on both the CPU die and the IHS. I put a line of thermal paste on the CPU die nothing on the bottom side of the IHS, and a X cross on the top side (the connection to heatsink side). The thermal paste looks evenly spread out on both the CPU die and the IHS...

Thanks for the response - I'm pretty sure it is because the heatsink clamps are screwed down tightly, and the thermal paste looks to have been evenly spread (On the CELL/CPU and IHS) when I checked that. Could I be missing something or not checking properly?

I recently delidded my PS3 as it would overheat even after having its paste replaced, I have placed new thermal paste on the die and IHS and put it back together, but it would still overheat after about 50 seconds. I tried reapplying the thermal paste to no use. I am using arctic silver thermal...

3034 commonly points to a GPU error, and in your case your motherboard revision most likely has a faulty one unless it has been replaced previously. As stated previously, 3032 can be a cell BGA damage or something to do with the voltage. (You can pressure test the GPU (RSX) and CPU (CELL) to...

Sorry, was going to update this but never got around to it. - I did end up fixing the issue, removed two capacitors on the 5v line (C6019 and C6020) and when testing with a multimeter their capacitance was fluctuating a lot. (Anywhere from 0 to 60uf when they are supposed to be 22uf). I replaced...

I recently got a Backwards Compatible (CECH-C02) Playstation 3 that is not in the best condition. I have opened it and checked the syscon log, and i am getting error code 2110. Looking at the syscon errors on psdev wiki it seems to be a fuse of some sort has blown, and/or a general motherboard...

I joined today so i could get help with my playstation that is currently broken. It has a rather obscure error from what i know! Thanks :)
