PS3 Fault finding YLOD with the SYSCON - First steps and Error reporting

[RIP-Felix]

Hey all, new to forums and I apologize in advance if any of my etiquette is off.

Recently I got my hands on a CECHA01 and after a few days of use, I started noticing small blue artifacts on the XMB when the blur effect is enabled on the background (i.e. when viewing the status of a download). Shortly after this, it began freezing with audio still playing on games and homebrew apps, but with no accompanying yellow light or poweroff. The console was disassembled, cleaned, had its thermal paste replaced, had its power supply replaced with an APS-226, and I installed the ABS plastic brace from Studio Halabi's eBay store just for fun days before all of this started happening. It is running Evilnat 4.90 with a noBT patch, which was in an attempt to escape an update loop.

After rebooting, I checked the SYSCON via Evilnat's built in dumping tools, and found no new errors. Would accessing the SYSCON via a wired connection to a PC give me any more insight into what's happening when it crashes? If not, would anyone mind pointing me in the right direction for diagnostics?

Eek, artifacts are the early stages of GPU failure (usually GPU...especially color splotches).

If the RSX was delided, the stress placed on the BGA could have popped a joint in the BGA. Otherwise, it's probably the old fashioned bumpgate YLOD.

Hello! In the last few months I'm having a problem in my PS3 (CECH2001A), where some specific games causes the errors:

The games was DIRT3, DIRT Showdown and GRID 2, howhever, I can play any other stressful game like Gran turismo 5/6, GTA, Watch Dogs... Somebody can help me?

RSX side tokins. 118 days is too young tho! Thing must have been asphyxiated by dust...or a sauna PS3!

Okay, progress! I was able to get in external mode just fine by grounding it to the copper ring, but even after turning the switch off, and connecting DIAG to my UART's adapter GND pin, I still get a scopen error. Are you suggestion that I bridge DIAG to ground from somewhere like the copper ring and then connect DIAG to my GND pin in the adapter?
Appreciated.

Connect both DIAG, UART GND, and PS3 GND together. You can do this any way you like. I use aligator clips on the copper ring. I pull out the Male to female pin connectors I use to attach to the uart just enough that I can clip the aligator jaws on the pin.

So uart GND --> ps3 DIAG
             |
             --> PS3 GND (copper ring)

.I have a dia-001 motherboard with 3003 error
Replaced tokins and didnt work and realized tokins werent getting any voltage but 12v comes to vrms what could be my issue?

First, be sure the tokin install was good. Most likely you didn't do it right.

Could be a buck converter or any SMD on the controller. You'll have to troubleshoot the voltage regulation module. Open the schematic and start tracking each voltage and enable signal, one by one. Following the voltage to each IC and function it should be performing. Move on after confirming it's good up to that point. Check every resistor, cap, fuse, and transistor.

It's a tedius and long process. You can shortcut it with a thermal cam if there's a short causing it.

But as mentioned before, double check everything elase is working fine before assuming VRM. If BD is plugged in, unplug it.

Hi, I'm new posting here and last night I posted a separate discussion but I don't know if I should post a reply here too, apologies in advance. The thing is that I just got a CECHA01 and when I plugged it in the PS3 immediately started beeping 3 times without even turning it on and it got stuck with a solid red light. I did a syscon diagnosis and the only error code I got was A0801200 which means a "CELL THERMAL" error. I find it weird since the thing won't even turn on.

 

[RIP-Felix]

I've run a test with the scope, its not as detailed as yours lol, but this is what I saw

Test 1 was on the RSX side

Test 2 on the Cell side

I'm still learning how to use the scope

Ok, I assume that's 1v/division and 5uS/div (RSX)? If so that's so bad it's easy to see the ripple even so far zoomed out. Clearly bad. This is my standard tokins testing settings. Let's get better measurments, shall we? For posterity.

• Set Horizontal axis 1uS/div
• Set Vertical axis 50mV/div
• Set to AC coupling. Yes, this is a DC voltage, but we're only interested in the AC component of the DC line. The ripple and noise. This will center the axis around 0v and make it easy to find the voltage. With DC coupling, you have to offset the voltage to find it somewhere between 1 and 1.3v. And zoomed in to 50mV/div that can be hard. AC coupling just makes it easy.
• Use ground springs for a low impedance connection. Otherwise there will be too much noise to make out the ripple and any Vpp will not be accurate enough to make a determination.

Btw when I do replace the NEC's do I need to add a wire to make the bridge? As I watched Borderline OCD's video repairing the PS3 & he didnt use any wire for bridging, was that because of the NEC's on the other side ot the board?

He didn't replace the tokins on Side A (processor side). Those tokins will still have a + rail bridge, but I don't recommend that as a repair, since mixing capacitor types can create anti-resonance peaks and be counterproductive. We've seen people do that and the console have the other tokins fail about a year or 2 later. So unless you want the YLOD to return in a couple of years, in the meantime place unnecessary stress on the Processors which can wear down their core voltages and permanently kill the console, I recommend you replace all the tokins at the same time. In which case, yes you will need bridge wires or tantalizers.

Connect both DIAG, UART GND, and PS3 GND together. You can do this any way you like. I use aligator clips on the copper ring. I pull out the Male to female pin connectors I use to attach to the uart just enough that I can clip the aligator jaws on the pin.

So uart GND --> ps3 DIAG
             |
             --> PS3 GND (copper ring)

Well, that worked... once. Then it didn't anymore.
I tried everything, soldering the PS3's GND directly to the DIAG in the board, getting GND from the PSU's metal casing and then wiring that in between the two wires of my uart adapter's, every way I could find to bridge GND to DIAG.
After that failure, I had a random thought to try to turn the console on as it is, and then I realized, now as soon as I turn the power switch on, the status LED starts blinking red. I cannot turn it on in any way now.
Here's a short video demonstrating my situation: https://files.catbox.moe/6n5tvr.mp4

I am genuinely surprised at how you've been doing this for years, while I, on the other hand, after about a month I'm already questioning my life choices

 

[superprokill1]

okay, what? I just came back from dinner, tried turning it on and it doesn't do the flashing LED anymore. And you know what's even better? I just got into internal mode. I literally touched nothing, wtf???
New error codes though:

ofst[ 96]:err_code:0xa0801002, clock:0xffffffff
ofst[100]:err_code:0xa0101002, clock:0xffffffff
ofst[104]:err_code:0xa0093004, clock:0xffffffff
ofst[108]:err_code:0xa0093004, clock:0xffffffff
ofst[112]:err_code:0xa0061002, clock:0xffffffff
ofst[116]:err_code:0xa0093004, clock:0xffffffff

Still related with the tokins though, but now I'm interested as to why, how, and specially why my PS3 went from connecting to internal mode, to not connecting to internal mode anymore, to staying in red flashing lights and nothing else, to connecting to internal mode again?

 

[superprokill1]

well, I honestly don't think I'm doing anything wrong now, I can't connect to the SYSCON now, just like before. this time I turned it off to take out the capacitor ladder, which came out really easily (i assume the negative side wasn't properly in? might explain the 3004. tried soldering it properly this time, and when I flipped the switch and tried to connect to the syscon, I came back to square 1. I did not touch anything about the SYSCON or the adapter at all.

So be sure you read and follow the tutorial steps carefully. Its sounds like you changed the byte at address 3961 from 01 to 00 to enable internal access. The next step is to power off, connect DIAG, then back on. It will tripple beep because the checksum doen't match. That's normal. SYSCON in using CXRF this time and then you can fix the checksum.

I did all those steps, I fixed the checksums already weeks ago, I was able to do bringup before and even now. When I now reported that I was getting those flashing red lights, it didn't even beep once.
The issue is not with the theory of connecting to the SYSCON, I was able to do that just fine and get access to the errlog, the bringup cmd, etc. The issue is that, right after I did so, and after shutting down the console and touching those NEC/TOKIN caps and the ladder, upon turning it on again, without moving a single cable of the connection between my PC and the PS3, it would start failing to connect again. I doubt (but please correct me) that there's any component around where I was soldering that could be messing it up this bad, so it's possibly something else that I am not aware of

I may have been a little foolish lol, but decided to replace two of the NEC tokins on the RSX side. I hadnt gotten your message in time when I had changed them. But the console is now booting up.

I plugged in the hdmi cable & saw it asking if I wanted to change to HDMI, so I turned it back off. I'll do the replacement what you've suggested. Don't suppose you've got a digikey / mouse / farnell part details have you of the ones I should get please?

If you fixed the checksum and It's flashing in standby then you have an issue with the standby circuit. First, what are you using to prevent the PSU from making contact and shorting against the MB? I have seen a similar issue be caused by a PSU short doing it the way it looks like you are. It shorted out a resistor that fed into the 5v/3.3v_Misc mosfet controller. And the SYSCON was inaccessible until that was fixed IIRC.

Those PANASONIC EEFGX0E471L are ideal if you can get a good price on them, pull the trigger.

Also, congrats on diagnosing and confirming the fix.

well, the flashing red already disappeared. it was a momentary thing that I don't know the cause of. I have my PSU over a rag, I doubt that's what's making the syscon fail
EDIT: Just tried to connect, this time adding TWO rags below the PSU. There is no way it's casing is causing a short anywhere, yet it's still failing.

perfect, I'll order some more along with some wire

 

[superprokill1]

HELL YEAH IT WORKED!
The cap ladder I did was somehow broken, I guess some cap was dead. It was throwing 3004 errors when trying to start up.
Afterwards, I grabbed a 470uF electrolytic capacitor, 6.5v, one of the big ones, it finally got through far enough in the boot process for the CELL to overheat!

now my uncle is convinced, I might be getting the caps shipped via mail through an envelope. I hope customs doesn't F%$# me.
@RIP-Felix tysm! I still have no idea what makes the syscon connection hang itself randomly, it's still occurring. Oh well, I hope I don't have to use the syscon a lot more afterwards :^)))

got some more EEFGX0E471L's coming tomorrow & received the 16 AWG solid core wire from amazon today, so that should be a job for tomorrow to finish up.

once again, thanks for all your help !

Hello. I dumped syscon log via ps3 advanced tools . I have ps3 slim cech 2004A with cfw rebug 4.84.2. I want to know if it is anything wrong with my console or not. I worry very much because of ylod on first slims. Please help me if anything is wrong. I am about to change thermal paste and clean the console from the dust inside if any. Here is the log. Should I worry or there is nothing wrong ?

do you know in which circumstances those 2022 errors happened?
there's a 1200 error, which means the CPU overheated. clean it up, replace the thermal paste, and you should be good to go on that. I still don't know what's causing your 2022
