RIP Felix

Hey guys! I bought a broken CHECHC which supposedly stopped working after an "overheating issue". After opening it up I found out that the previous owner tried to delid it and damaged the CELLs soldermask by doing so. Reading the syscon, I get a 4401, then a 3034 error. >$ auth Auth successful...

Hello! After changing the thermal paste on my PS3 (CECH-2004a), the console wouldn't boot and would display the YLOD instead. After connecting to the SYSCON and reading the stored codes, It read 3034. If I lightly pressed down on the RSX during boot, the console booted normally so I assumed...

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...

Basically, a few weeks ago I got a CECH-2004A Slim from my cousin, I recently took it to a tech store, where they cleaned it out and repasted it for me. Prior to repasting, I used it only for YouTube, no games. After repasting I got HEN, and just now CFW, I thought I just needed to jailbreak...

I bought this PS3 over 1 year ago, for 80€, and used it regularly for ps2 and ps3 games. A few weeks ago I wanted to check when this Console was manufactured and to my suprise the Datacode said "8C" which would mean production occured betwenn July and September 2008, even though the CECHC...

Hello, I'm currently adding PS3 support to my game engine. I saw weird vertice explosion when I was close to my 3D objects. I tried the RSX sample from PSL1GHT to see if the problem was here too and looks like it's here, I just added a way to move the camera to go near the object. Does someone...

So I watched @RIP-Felix video on the YLOD and I now recently got three Frankies, CECHE01 (40nm), CECHC03 (65nm) and a CECHA00 (40nm). In his video he said that you cannot downgrade lower than 3.55 on the 40nm models. However, is there any way to modify the RSX or something in order to...

So I recently purchased a broken PS3 Fat (CECHE01) that wouldn't power on. To my surprise, it seemed to just be a faulty power supply, as there was no red power light when the console was plugged in. I also checked the 12v power rail with a multi-meter and it clearly wasn't receiving any...

Is there any way to test if an RSX is good when its removed from the board? I've salvaged some 65nm and 90nm RSX chips from various PS3s while setting up my ACHI PRO SC and i'd like to make sure i didnt harm them in the removal process.

Hello. After successfully removing IHS from both RSX and CELL I tripped one of capacitors from RSX during the final cleaning. I decided to turn on the console without it. It gave out 3-beep and flashing red light 2-3 seconds after start. According to Sony it means overheating. Then I got it...

Submitted by fellow user 3absiso, comes a 2.75 Core OS Dump (this firmware helped us identify the last 5 digits of the RSX Lv1 String) https://www.sendspace.com/file/txaivw

Im looking for a ps3 super slim with a 28nm RSX for my collection of different ps3 models. I own a 4004 and would sell it for a version with a 28nm RSX, 400x all got 40nm. In some pages on dev wiki they say 4200 COULD be 28nm but also some 40nm only 4300 is for sure 28nm. In other lists 4200s...

I created this tutorial to help people who struggle to use ps3MFW-Builder, in order to allow everyone to build their own modified firmware with the desired GPU speeds. I tried to be as clear as possible. Use it at your own risk ! To have an hardware flasher is recommended. If for some...

This is the third time it does this weird random black out screen than glitchy screen tear it goes away with Either rebooting or closing the affected application I tried different displays and hdmi cables same issue still in the 6 month warranty period here is the yourube video Solved

Hi, I have a problem with my PS3 which I got for free. When connected to the power supply, the console shows a red LED, after pressing the switch it turns on for 2-3 seconds (the fan starts) and then turns off. The WiFi module was completely desoldered from the console by the previous owner...

Hi, I'm looking everywhere and I can't find a clear answer, should I replace the IHS thermal paste under CELL and RSX in the CECH-3004A model? or only under RSX? What about super slims CECH-4004C? I read about this and there is too no clear answer about that. I know, if they work fine, I should...

Hi, while attempting my first delid I managed to destroy five capacitors on top of the RSX chip. Does anybody know their values?

I have a fat PS3 (CECHE) that got the YLOD a while back. Syscon shows error codes 3034 and 4412, so it appears to be a BGA failure. It has never been modded and has the official firmware, therefore the EID_ROOT_KEY was never dumped. I understand that this key is tied to the CELL processor, so...

(sorry if i posted in the wrong place or if this is a common question) I have a PS3 Phat CECHJ04 that I tried delidding (it had some thermal issues, got hot and ran very poorly). I took of the RSX IHS pretty easy (didnt do the cell yet), except that now it won't start. If I plug everything in...
