PS3 do the ps3 slims have the yellow light of death?

[paruharu]

i know they can have bga failures and all that but can they get a yellow light? i was splicing toghether a 4pin connector for a 3000 model and after i was done i put it in the console after making sure everything was propperly connected and it turned red in standby so i clicked the power button and it went green for a couple secconds before jusr completely shutting off no lights no blinking red light like with ylod so i just thought the cable was wrong since it did this exact same thing when the 12v prongs were touching. (person i bought it from did not put it back together right) so i swapped out the cable with the other 4pin from a 2000 and it did the same thing so i just swapped cables around re soldered the other one and it would work fine sometimes and not others, it would also seem to shut off when i wiggled the wire and at this point i just said screw it ill mess with it tommorow, now today i plug it all in make sure everything is good and it powers on so i decide to look at the syscon logs to see if it would say anything and i got the follow errors (3034 4401 14FF 5FFF 1701 1601 and 3001) after seeing the first 2 i knew maybe the rsx is dying but im getting no yellow light so idk if its ylod or if its a after effect of the 4pin loseing connection and just shutting it down messing with the rsx and cell giving the error.

The "YLOD" sequence depends on the slim model:

• 2000 - YLOD. Same as Fats. (yellow, 3 beeps, flashing red)
• 2100 - RLOD. It is the same as YLOD, except without the yellow light (red, 3 beeps, flashing red)
• 2500/3000 - NoLOD. The power LED shuts off, it looks like the console is losing power but it isn't.
• The super slims have the same NoLOD sequence as 2500/3000 too.

As for the errors, here's what I know from my understanding...

• 3034 is not always RSX, it can be Cell too. Especially in slim models since they do not have faulty 90nm.
• 4401 can be RSX or Cell.
• 5FFF can be Cell but in slims/super slims could also be faulty NOR/eMMC flash.
• 1601 and 1701 are usually associated with Cell, but it can be from caused by homebrew applications glitching out.
• 3001 PSU related, what you described could be caused by that previously.

But overall, I'm not exactly sure what your main issue is. I'd probably say the Cell. But I'm not saying this is 100% the problem.

either the rsx or cell idk which but im pretty sure i ended up messing up its bga when i repasted it, it was stuck down with the thermal paste so had to kinda wiggle the motherboard up chances are i cracked some balls, the no light thing kinda threw me off since sometimes it works just fine and others itll shut off since it works fine most the time im assuming its the bga and not the actual bumps? if the bga is messed up then ill just sell its parts and hang onto the mother and use its rsx to attempt to fix a fat model when i at some point try a frankie.
