This is a thank you and appreciation post to all those who have contributed and built upon the knowledge base we now so luckily have which enables us to more effectively troubleshoot.
I recently bought a CECHC02 with the usual YLOD and I thought it would be useful to document the steps i took to fix it for others who might be searching this error.
Testing:
- Turned unit on. 3 beeps instantaneously. YLOD
- Disassembled unit and and read errlog:
- The first 0xa0801001 and 0xa0801004 are possibly symptoms of incorrect shutdown (power switch in back most likely). I chose not to investigate these any further yet.
- 0xa0022110 could be attributed to a blown fuse F6001 meaning potential shorts further down the line.
I decided to focus my attention on the capacitors first based on my findings and what others had posted
Repair Work Done:
1. Removed C6019 and C6020 caps and tested in capacitance mode on multimeter. Identified the caps as being faulty.
2. Replaced with C6019 and C6020 caps from donor CECHC02 board.
3. Tested F6001. This time it didnt beep at all and confirmed it blown/a short.
4. Removed F6001 and replaced with same fuse from donor CECHC02 board
5. Fuse showed continuity/beep test in diode mode.
6. Read errors in syscon. Cleared errlog
7. Issued "bringup" command. System booted. Read error log. All clear
8. Applied Arctic MX6 thermal compound to RSX and CELL, reassembled and powered on. System booted to XMB without issue

- 0xa0022110 could be attributed to a blown fuse F6001 meaning potential shorts further down the line.
- Checked fuse F6001 in diode mode. It beeped once briefly but was not continuous. This should beep continously if the fuse is good.
- Checked C6019 and C6020 using both diode and resistance modes on the multimeter. These were reading different values to the other 22uf capacitors in the same region (C6010, C6222, C6220, C6270, C6270 etc).
- Checked the reported values against another donor COK-002 board i have lying around.
