Teensy 2++,tutorial support on psxplace and patient soldering wires. Most advanced people do desolder nor, read/write it outside board inside tsop 56 socket. Should be cheap nowadays. Nothing wrong to use bottom alt points with wires. One messy thing is to write something wrong. Make sure it is right dump before you go to write patched one

Alright, thank you ! I started documenting myself on the soldering procedure, it is a bit intimidating but I like challenges ! I may try it in the coming weeks, although it seems to be quite hard to get a real Teensy 2++ these days. I found some knockoffs on Aliexpress but I don't know how good/bad they are, maybe I should give them a try ? If anyone has a recommended website/link that accepts European shipping, I would be grateful !

In anyway, before investing in new materials I need to do some more research on how the whole procedure will be for my console. I will try to learn some more next week.

Thank you very much for your help finding the possible problem with my unit :encouragement:

Lv1.self getting corrupted is usually caused by a bad CFW installation (because it was build incorrectly). Can't be sure about how it got broken, but I'm sure it was because someone jailbreak it and put crap on it.

Ok I see, I may have been a bit scammed here then haha... but that's ok, this led me to learn new things and this is exciting !

maybe OFW DEX brick or resigning an OC lv1 gone bad. what is the story to this PS3?

edit
as long as lv0 gets loaded, it mostly can be software error

The story of this PS3 is unfortunately quite incomplete, I bought it 6/7 months ago second hand on the French equivalent of eBay alongside a PS2. Both of those consoles were in their original boxes with untouched warranty stickers. The seller seemed relatively honest during our discussions and negotiations, but I cannot exclude that he may have lied to me...

The two consoles where shipped to me in a really badly prepared/protected parcel (the seller used 5 to 7 empty bottles to """protect""" the consoles in the box), the PS2 works fine but as for the PS3... it never booted up since I have it. Initally I imagined that the bad packaging led the PS3 to have some issue with it's HDD so I exchanged it with the one of an other PS3 (Slim) I had, but this was unsuccessful.

That is pretty much the whole story I know :smug:

PS : I have no idea if this information is important, but all of the Syscon tests I did with this PS3 where done without any HDD attached to the console. Could it be problematic ?

PS² : Thank you very much all for your advice !

China teensy2++ is fine make sure u get 1286 Ic on it. I seen some US 1287 models and didn't work well.
At90usb1286 was atmel design when this code was compiled, it may be due microchip bought atmel and probably new revision is At90usb1287. It probably needs to be added in code and recompiled. I did not tested to be sure.

Noted ! I just found this Teensy 2 board (AT90USB1286) on Aliexpress, it seems to have the 1286 IC you mentioned, I will also take a 3.3v regulator to convert the teensy to the PS3 voltage. If you have no specific warning about this unit I will go ahead and order it ! (I heard on this forum (reply #2) some story about boards having some voltage issue, but I assume they were specific cases and I should not worry about those)

This week-end I watched and read quite a few things, but I am still not sure on what to do when I will have access to the NOR chip. How and where can I find a good dump of my specific CECHP04 PS3 ?
 
Just put it in safe place that bin file you read with teensy2 and ask well know devs here, we will help you with that in pm. Make sure you don't share it with unknown people that may steal idps. I'm technician, I can say I may know few things around development (just a bit).
Once we patch it via norpatcher or Pyps3patcher or Swizzy latest versions for 355 or something like 491 last patch.
Need to add link reference
https://github.com/littlebalup/PyPS3tools
You can ask in pm littleballoop about bin if you want.
https://github.com/Swizzy/PS3DumpChecker
Or for 355 I use most of time norpatcher from judges.

You kinda have all parts of puzzle now, if you have soldering skills you should handle yourself.
Teensy you found is fine.

I had a similar issue on a CECHA00. First I read the error log which was not pretty (3034, 1701, 1601, 1004...). I cleared the log and then attempted to bringup. It would YLOD constantly from UART, but from the power switch it would sometimes just hang or not attempt to start. The errorlog would not record any codes. Then the standby light would not turn on. I tried another known good PSU and nothing. There was a short on the +5V_Ever line. All fuses were ok so I had to play the guess which cap is shorted game. I removed C6100 (right by the 5V power plug) and the short went away. The console now boots to YLOD and it is recording error codes in the log. Unfortunately they are all 3034.
