Hello everyone!
Could someone help me understand these syscon error codes? I bought this console with the problem that it turns off by itself after 2 seconds and the syscon generated these codes:

The console is a CECH-4312A with an RTX-001 motherboard
 
Well it looks like a problem on the gpu or in the bga solder

"A0403034

Fatal Booting Error 034 (RSX/CELL Communication Error) which occurred at step no. 40 (BitTraining), before the Power On Sequence has completed.
3034 errors are often caused by defects on the BGA or Bump (among other issues). Experienced PS3 repair technicians have noted that it is almost exclusive to the RSX. Although we cannot completely exclude the possibility of a CELL BE BGA/Bump defect being the cause, it has been the exception to the rule. Time and experience have demonstrated that 3034 errors are primarily an RSX problem. A repair technician needs to decide which processor to reball/replace based upon the more likely candidate and proceed accordingly, using their judgement.
See Error Code section below for more detail"
 
Thanks for the help.
So, I'll probably have to reball the RSX or the southbridge?
I tried pressing both components (RSX and southbridge) to see if it would turn on, but to no avail. It seems to be something serious. I checked all voltages and short circuits, and everything is fine. I don't think it's worth it.

Well, there are definitely more experienced people here when it comes to this. But from what I know, the 40nm RSX in your Super Slim is less prone to failure. Also, the pressure test doesn't work on the southbridge—if it's gone, it'll need to be replaced. Personally, I'd say this console is worth saving for a Frankie, IMHO."
 
My console is the latest revision, with an RTX-001 motherboard. The RSX and Cell are 28nm and 45nm, respectively. I've heard processors with these lithography are very good, but from my testing, it seems to be the RSX. I turned the console on several times, and only the Cell got hot, while the RSX stayed cool.
