Hello,

I bought CECHL console with YLOD with hope its NEC/Tokin problem but apparently its not.

Error codes

Is this problem with RSX or Southbridge problem?
 
Sadly this does not look like the tokins (Which would give the Syscon errors related to power), but an issue likely with the BGA connections or the chips talking to one another. 3034 points to the CELL BGA. 4003 also points to the southbridge: https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Syscon_Error_Codes. I would try applying some pressure to the southbridge chip to see if there is any change. It could be the Southbridge, CELL or both needs a reball.

Another source here on Syscon debugging: https://github.com/db260179/ps3syscon with the below text quoted from there:

"A0403034, A0404401 (CELL) = Poor BGA solder connections for CELL need reflow or reball ( you will see errors like - [POWERSEQ] Error : BitTraining BE:RRAC:RX0:GLOBAL1:RX_STATUS ) (With the above errors you will get other errors with the BitTraining they are all related to the poor BGA connection or broken traces under the chips)

A0404002 = RSX_SPI DI/DO ERROR (Poor BGA connection for RSX can cause this error or DEAD RSX)"
 
If you have the means reball or replace chip but a proper reflow with some good RMA liquid flux under the chip should yield a result a real reflow 220C liqud nudge the chip on a corner and watch for snap back if it dont move its not a reflow just heat going into chip...

And that would be the RSX 3034 RSX -- I dont see no A0404401 in that log i do see a 4003 Southbridge but i mean RSX man that is what i would do most likley unless ya see something going on with FlexIO or around south area

That is jsut me :)

RSX/BGA/link training.
4003 makes me verify Southbridge power/clock/pressure response, but I would not let 4003 alone pull me away from the RSX when 3034 is hammering every boot.

Thread 'PS3 Super Slim Blackout - 3034 4003'

Hi guys!
I got this PS3 Super Slim (NPX-001) a few years ago for free.
I barely knew anything about PS3s (I'm more of an Xbox guy) so I had set it aside till a few days ago. I did some research on fault finding and troubleshooting yesterday and I decided to give it a try. The console turns on, the fan spins for a second and it turns back off. After power cycling it a few times, the CPU gets warm to the touch whereas the GPU doesn't. I hooked it up to a USB TTL adapter and dumped the syscon error log. I'm getting 4003 (SB?) and 3034, which signifies that the RSX and CELL are unable to...

I removed Marvell 88e6106-lkj1 and console booted fine. Tested with 2 games, all good.

Now that was some good fault finding, well done!
