PS3 Help restore BGAs

Forum Noob
  • Hello, this is my first post on this forum, in short: i got a CECHC04 YLOD PS3 and almost got it alive, it responds to the pressure test on the RSX on east side (that goes to CELL), the momment i take my finger off it YLOD's. Also tried the heat test but no result so i presume it's the bga's on the board.

    If in more detail: the console has a lot of small cracks and even though it still had the warranty sticker the motherboard had something sticky signs on it, like from cola, i checked all fuses and they are allright.

Got the syscon data, both the errorlog and the bringup log:

Out of tools i have a soldering station, some flux and a small preheat plate, so if there is any please.

Edit: Hot air station

Update:

The Phat doesn't react any more on pressure test, i tried to heat the chip at around 260°C.

The syscon shows purely 3034 and 4411.

I'll leave this ps3 for future experiments, until then it will stay like that blinking red(

Btw is there a chance that i can get this PS3 alive if i swap the RSX to a 65nm or 40nm?
