PS3 Is there any other way then reballing

[Ibrokeit12]

I have a GLOD CECHM03 ps3. After checking errlog I'm getting of 14FF often, occational 1701 errors and one instance of 2120 and I belive not all of the solder balls are making good contact with the BGA on my cell or rsx maybe even both already checked my hdd and it works fine with no errors in crystal disk info. When i insert a blue ray it reads the disc indicated by the front blue light. BGA soldering station are at a minimum of 500£ for anything reliable and I don't know anyone with one. I just want to see some kind of exact proof that it's the bga and not a corroded connection or internaly shorted capacitor or a blown resistor or the nec token caps causing it. What's a good way of diagnosing the issue without breaking the bank or damaging my console. Reflowing could damage my dia001 even further. I just want display. Thanks in advance

After looking at the syscon error log you provided it appears that the issue is more than likely related to an issue with the power rail(NEC Tonken) for the CELL CPU. I'm not sure if that is all that is wrong with your console but that is where I would start. As far as the BGA station I would not buy one unless I was going to be working on a lot of systems. The cost of finding a reputable/competent reballer to do the job would get you more for the money as it is a skill that has to be learned once you have the machine not just an automatic machine that does the job correctly for you out of the box. If you have good board work soldering skills and tools then NEC Token replacement is fairly straightforward. If you search here or on YouTube you will see that there are many ways to remove the tokens and I suggest you study and have all the materials on hand before starting the job.

Is this a NEC Tokin issue?
