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

[Woodsworth]

Anyone know what the small rectangular in the pictures is? I knocked two off when I dropped something on them. I've lost one of them but have the other. I think the traces have been torn off as well. Also, are they necessary?

 

[Woodsworth]

Another evening on this. It was going ok then I knocked off two components as mentioned before. Not sure what they are or if the can be left out. I have one but lost the other, if someone could shed some insight that would be appreciated. The images should be in a reply above this. I have since been able to get internal access and can post the results of the in depth error log as well as the bring up results if that would help someone assist me. I have tested the PSU and get in the kΩ on one of the 12V pins and get 5 volts on the two 5 volt pins in the psu so I'm guessing that means it's something on the motherboard resulting in the 2110 I keep getting? Does that sound right? Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I have a fat PS3 that started to have the yload problem, the famous yellow LED started to gradually decrease the time it remained on, from the SYSCON program it gives me error A0093003
, initially I replaced the capacitors in the CPU and also GPU but unfortunately the error returns, now the power-on time is non-existent as soon as you press the power button it immediately goes into protection

You must bridge the wire because you replaced all tokins. Just replace the bottom one will be enough.

hi, after a reflow (320°C for like 10 minutes) for fixing code A0801002, my ps3 didn't turn on anymore, so checking syscon codes two times it gave me that errors:

===================================
looking for informations seems that i broke temperature sensors of RSX and CELL, do i?
its sure that i also fixed A0801002?
and whats the fix for these errors?

its a DYN-001 CECH-2004A.

1002 is RSX tokins, not sure why you try to reflow it. Maybe you knocked off the temperature sensor or just killed it.

You must bridge the wire because you replaced all tokins. Just replace the bottom one will be enough.

Hello, thank you. You are really very kind

 

[OneFix]

Just received CECHA console with YLOD and full list of 3034 errors. I reflowed RSX and console booted, however cannot get signal to the screen via hdmi or AV (GLOD). Now I get full list of errors A0802022 (DVE errors). I already replaced CXM4024R MultiAV controller chip from donor board, but same errors. Do you think that faulty RSX can cause 2022 errors? I am going to replace RSX with 40nm if you don't have any other good ideas to fix this.

SB log shows that console boots just fine, controller syncs etc. Log shows that console has Cell OS SDK4.8.1, am I right that this means firmware is 4.81, thus it supports then 40nm frankenstein mod?

 

[lucciolucciani]

Hi, I have a CECHC with GLOD with multiple A0202120 and some A0802020 error. Fuses, 1.7V_MISC, 1.5V_YC_RC_VDDIO are OK.
any idea?

Hi everyone, after changing the capacitors I made the connection with a jumper cable, but it gives me these errors

 

[Scpnoobers]

So I'm pretty fearful around electrical stuff so I was wondering if I can to plug anything to the ps3 or screw in the "ground" to anything. My ps3 is a cecha01. If you respond thank you in advance!

Just received CECHA console with YLOD and full list of 3034 errors. I reflowed RSX and console booted, however cannot get signal to the screen via hdmi or AV (GLOD). Now I get full list of errors A0802022 (DVE errors). I already replaced CXM4024R MultiAV controller chip from donor board, but same errors. Do you think that faulty RSX can cause 2022 errors? I am going to replace RSX with 40nm if you don't have any other good ideas to fix this.

SB log shows that console boots just fine, controller syncs etc. Log shows that console has Cell OS SDK4.8.1, am I right that this means firmware is 4.81, thus it supports then 40nm frankenstein mod?

UPDATE. Swapped 40nm rsx and HDMI IC also. Same error codes A0802022 and GLOD. Need to investigate more on DVE/hdmi circuit.

Hello everyone. A few years ago I bought a secondhand CECHG04. After some time I decided to take it apart since it was very loud, so I changed the thermal paste and cleaned the dust. When I powered it up after assembly I was welcomed by the nefarious YLOD. I did my due diligence before embarking on this task, the console came apart and back together very nicely, nothing was forced. I took it apart afterwards to try the hair drayer method and indeed the console did boot up into XMB but after a minute or two the YLOD came back.
Now I wanted to take another look at it so I followed the Uart guide to pull up the error codes:

Hi, I bought a CECHG model which wasn't working (YLOD after 6 seconds). The seller said it has been open at least twice, one time having the thermal paste replaced. The CPU and GPU were absolutely caked in thermal paste, so I don't think the guy who did it was very good and thermal paste was low quality. This is my first ps3 I've taken apart but there was this blue foam attached to I think the NEC tokens and some other stuff, idk if that is normal but I don't think I saw it in disassembly videos. Any ideas on what the issue is please?

A0313032 = SB_CLOCK OR INIT ERROR (can be related to the CELL solder balls not making proper connection and will most likely had previous errors like A0403034, A0404401) - check for voltages first!

Hi, I bought a CECHG model which wasn't working (YLOD after 6 seconds). The seller said it has been open at least twice, one time having the thermal paste replaced. The CPU and GPU were absolutely caked in thermal paste, so I don't think the guy who did it was very good and thermal paste was low quality. This is my first ps3 I've taken apart but there was this blue foam attached to I think the NEC tokens and some other stuff, idk if that is normal but I don't think I saw it in disassembly videos. Any ideas on what the issue is please?

most of the time the 1002 error is due to faulty tokens on the RSX. By removing the old capacitors and putting in tantalum ones you have a good chance of solving the problem. Remember to create bridges between the two positive areas as in the image above. NOTE: for the ground side you must preheat the board, the plate absorbs a lot of heat and you cannot make good soldering with just the soldering iron.

 

[lucciolucciani]

Hi everyone, after changing the capacitors I made the connection with a jumper cable, but it gives me these errors

ciao, did you by any chance manage to solve it? I have the same error 2120, the fuses are fine. I have two COK-002 boards (but the second one has about ten different errors) with which I can exchange components, I tried changing the capacitors near the F6302 but nothing changed

Hi, I'm still looking at the moment, I've read that it could be a built-in or something else causing this problem

Hello, my ps3 has been turning off during start up for a while now (I press the button, it stays green for a few seconds without image and then it shuts down completely). When that happens, I found out that if I apply a little bit of pressure on the top it somehow turns on normally and I can play just fine afterwads. Usually when I open the PS3 and close it again, the problem goes away for like days or weeks until it inevitably returns. It's pretty random. Can anyone make sense of this? Here's the syscon log:

Now I get full list of errors A0802022 (DVE errors). I already replaced CXM4024R MultiAV controller chip from donor board, but same errors. Do you think that faulty RSX can cause 2022 errors? I am going to replace RSX with 40nm if you don't have any other good ideas to fix this.

SB log shows that console boots just fine, controller syncs etc. Log shows that console has Cell OS SDK4.8.1, am I right that this means firmware is 4.81, thus it supports then 40nm frankenstein mod?

Yes, your FW is high enough to support 40nm RSX. Reflowing a defective RSX to a GLOD is common. It's usually a bad RSX that needs replaced. The reflow wouldn't have lasted long even if it had worked, so the only repair is to replace it. And yes, 2022 errors are easily caused by the RSX BGA/Bumps defects, since many of the IO traces go to the DVE. Same with 2020/2120 and 2024/2120 do for the HDMI transmitter. So they can also be caused by a bad RSX.

Another evening on this. It was going ok then I knocked off two components as mentioned before. Not sure what they are or if the can be left out. I have one but lost the other, if someone could shed some insight that would be appreciated. The images should be in a reply above this. I have since been able to get internal access and can post the results of the in depth error log as well as the bring up results if that would help someone assist me. I have tested the PSU and get in the kΩ on one of the 12V pins and get 5 volts on the two 5 volt pins in the psu so I'm guessing that means it's something on the motherboard resulting in the 2110 I keep getting? Does that sound right? Thanks in advance.

There is a service manual for the COK-002. In it you can find wiring shematic and labels for all the SMDs in the console. Please refer to it and tell use which components you knocked off. A picture would be helpful, but until you reach 10 posts on the forum you cannot upload them directly. You will have to use imgur or another picture hosting service and link.

2110 is a clock subsystem error usually stemming from an issue at or around 3.3v/5v Misc. It's very likely caused by whatever SMD you knocked off.
