Hi people of psxplace, I bought a slim that was never opened before on ebay, a cech2004-a that yloded, I of course tried changing the nec caps with some better tantalums. Then I quickly realized that power doesn't even get to the tantalums at all, the problem instead is probably a driver ic...

Spoiler alert, the console is actually "working". Check this old video I found: Mine has same behavior. But I would like to be able to solve whatever problem in the standby circuit if possible, instead of running it like that, with the 12v active all the time. So help would be appreciated. I...

Hey folks, so, my PS3 has the ol' YLOD. I bought this used, and hadn't realized that the previous owner had had it modded, to cap the fan speed, so, it more or less overheated. I took it apart and tried repasting, and when putting it back together now, the fan screams super loudly on power on...

I have a 2012 slim with which I can enable HEN without issue. I can load PS3 and PS2 games in IRISman just fine, but when I try to boot a PS1 game, I get a black screen and a blinking yellow light next to the usb ports, so I'm forced to reboot the console. Out of curiosity I tried changing the...

Hi All, I own a PS3 slim CECH-2003A which is displaying YLOD symptoms. The console turns on as normal, but will turn off randomly when playing some games or occasionally when scrolling through the XMB. The light goes from green to amber before the triple beep, then turns off with a flashing...

So as the tile suggests I have a YLOD ps3 board. (CECHA-01) Now here's the problem: I'm 100% confident it didn't happen because of overheating, I had a custom cooling "solution" that allowed me to get temperatures of around 37C idle and 55C under stress. The YLOD happened when I left the...

I hope someone can help me with my problem. My FAT console began to show ylod behaviour 6 months ago. It would behave exactly as any other ylod console. However after trying to turn it on X times, it will progressively stay on for more and more seconds until it finally boots and then it is able...

Hey guys, small question I have a ps3 A model with the YLOD, and even with the NEC/TOKIN caps desoldered, I get a short to ground on both capacitor lines on the RSX and the CPU. Is my RSX cooked? Whats going on here? Possible mosfet? Thanks again

A couple of months ago i bought a defective fat Model PS3 with a shorted 12v power line, sent it off to a shop for repair, a few after getting it back, i couldn't hold my curiosity anymore, voided the shop's warranty and took at look on what's been done, apparently the shop soldered these 4...

From OFW 4.85 I installed HFW 4.85.1 and after that I ran the nand dumper since I have a CECHA01. I pressed "initialize exploitation" and I got the success message printed out, but immediately my PS3 shut down and is now blinking with a red light and can't be turned on. It's the yellow light of...

Hi, yesterday i turn on my ps3 40gb after 8 years that was affected by YLOD, and unexpectedly it stayed on for about an hour and half, then i turned it off. The fan since i turned it on was at the max speed and never slow down, sadly i can't trying using a game because i take the BD reader in...

I had a YLOD on my 60gb launch fat PS3 so I replaced the four NEC capacitors on the bottom with the appropriate tantalum capacitors according to the repair guides. After putting it back together to test and see if the repair worked, it now just goes green straight to a flashing red light. No...

Hello guys, something happened with the light of the power button. I don't know if it is a pre-YLOD sympthom. After I exploited my PS3 and I installed Ferrox 4.83 CFW, I configured everything that I wanted. Essential APPs like Managunz, File Manager, PSN Patch, Control Fan Utility, OpenPS3FTP...
