PS3 GLOD on new COK-002 after reassembly.

Member
I'm experimenting a GOLD on a working COK-002 with original FW. The ps3 turns on but the led remains green and no video signal(hdmi). I inserted a disk and it took it but if i try to eject it the blue light flashes and makes 3 beeps(also with the console turned off in standby). Once there was a 720x576 video signal but the screen was black. Here the entire syscon and southbridge logs.
Hope someone can help me.

For safety I tried to insulate the contacts with high temperature silicone, I don't know if it's a good idea.

After activating the hypervisor in syscon the southbridge log shows same results, my console is not CWF, maybe it has something to do with it?

Strange things:
The PS3 heats up a lot, after a few seconds of being turned on with syscon i hear the fan speed increase slightly.

Don't you think it would be better to diagnose further with the southbridge log? Maybe we find the problem elsewhere, or if we don't, then i might think about making it Frankie but i have to be sure first because the PS3 worked perfectly before and i can't think that the RSX has suddenly been ruined inside.

This is simple, make it Frankie. Don't lose your time.
I have updated the log with the southbridge log and other hdmi test logs, i suggest you read it again. I don't think it gave me any errors. Strangely i had to connect the Rx of the SB to the Tx of the UART to get the log. Hypervisor enabled or disabled doesn't change anything for me, maybe because i'm not in CFW. The console gets very hot on the touch side near the syscon connections, maybe there is a short?

I simply call this type of glod (green light of death) "special glod".
You have 2 option that in 12 years I never managed to fix it =reball same gpu but goes worst for me or second Frankie. Ask Louise Rosman when he left this legendary meme "Reball is but..." [emoji16]
Try power unit without bdrom fcc connected. If that give you image then that's your problem.
Thank you for your reply Felix.
 
He hasn't confirmed that the HDD is fine or that he tried the video reset in recovery options menu. It eating disks is normal for a disc feed sensor wire getting broken or for the BD not being reseated properly.

So before jumping to the RSX related GLOD scenarios, he should rule out the routine causes first.
 
I thought he tested without hdd

lv2(2): entering stand-alone mode.
Also please make it work for sb with only Tx from mobo to rx from uart adaptor and gnd. Only 2 wires. You only need to see log, we can't write anything to sb.

Ok, i'll try soldering the GND wire too. It remains strange that i managed to extrapolate the SB log by connecting its Tx with the UART's Tx. Maybe i swapped the mobo's SB pads? Can you confirm that this is the right pad?

After having made the connection to the GND i have to test the power on and the SB log after having physically removed the blueray drive unit and the hdd right? I haven't done any of these things yet.
 
Yes you can do reset image while test unit without hdd or bdrom fcc removed from motherboard not simple let fcc into connector.
SB uart log can test later if you don't get image.

I assume the hdd is good because it worked before. I will do the video reset but obviously not the recovery mode menu because i can't enter any menu if the screen is black. For this reason i should receive an AV cable tomorrow to exclude that the video can pass into this mode. Now i try to solder the GND and do the things you said.

Ok I'll try. I need to better understand what you mean by "fcc", do you mean the ribbon cable that connects the bd drive to the mobo? However, i remove the entire bd with its cables and then try to turn on and reset the video. Give me some time. Thanks for the advices.

The pad you circled and said you soldered to is attached to pin 79 on CN3208 corresponding to SB_SIO0_TXD. It is the SB_Tx (transmit).

On my diagrams I label it Rx because people find it confusing that their UART adapter's Rx should be connected to the MB's Tx pad. So to make it more intuitive I label the location Rx, which is where their Adapter's RX wire should be soldered. It makes it easier for them, without have to explain the Sc_Rx <-- USB_Tx / Sc_Tx --> USB_Rx thing.

Fcc flat cable connector.
Ok i tested again with GND and without the bd drive and hdd completely extracted but the screen is still black. The sb log detects the absence of the bd drive (and also warns me "Device PATAC0Cable Not Connect").
I ran the test with just one power-on beep then with the second beep holding down the power button

In safemode it allows me to turn off the console simply by pressing the power button, which i cannot do in any other mode as it should be normal to do. Also in this mode if i plug in the xboxone controller it vibrates and turns on.
So i still have to try the AV cable, it should arrive soon. After that i think we've ruled out all the other possibilities other than RSX, right?
 
The pad you circled and said you soldered to is attached to pin 79 on CN3208 corresponding to SB_SIO0_TXD. It is the SB_Tx (transmit).

On my diagrams I label it Rx because people find it confusing that their UART adapter's Rx should be connected to the MB's Tx pad. So to make it more intuitive I label the location Rx, which is where their Adapter's RX wire should be soldered. It makes it easier for them, without have to explain the Sc_Rx <-- USB_Tx / Sc_Tx --> USB_Rx thing.
Ok now i understand. However as i wrote above i tested without BDdrive and hhd, nothing to do the screen remains black. I can enter safe mode and turn off the console by pressing the power button (which it doesn't let me do in other modes as should be normal).
So if it's not a drive, software or CPU problem, only the RSX remains. But i wonder, could it be something else? the hdmi i chip ot the GS chip? I would have to know how the ps3 image output system works to say that.

I thought he tested without hdd
lv2(2): entering stand-alone mode.
No, it gives me that message even with the HDD inserted

Ok i tried to see if the HDD led blink briefly and found that it does. When turned on in normal mode it blinks briefly, while in safe mode when turned off it lights up for a long time. Safe mode is the only mode that allows me to turn off the console simply by pressing the power button for about 2 seconds, in normal mode I have to hold it until it turns off.
This is shutdown in safe mode
This in normal mode, hdd flashes briefly.

Obviously with the HDD removed there is no LED activity.

Yesterday i tried to get the temperatures(and other stuff) from syscon, and i had to note that while the temperature of the rsx seems normal, that of the cell is quite high at 73,92°, why? Also @M4j0r checked the SB log after activating the PME or SS logs (the ones called hypervisors in the guide) and no errors were found. I can't believe there isn't a single error, everything works (apart from the strange behavior of the BDdrive which flashes and doesn't return the disc) but there is no video.

Just in case anyone else ends up here, I had the exact issue described after swapping a 40nm RSX onto a COK-002 and it turns out I accidentally skipped the 'resistor mod' step (R2054, R2001, R2153). Without setting those you won't get video output. SB log will show an RSX driver timeout if you power it off from safe mode. I set the resistors properly and everything works fine.
