Hi folks, I have a PS3 Slim with error 1002 and only 1002, it turns on with a black image on both HDMI and AV and turns off after 30-50 seconds, I replaced all solid and tantalum caps (no nec tokin in this model) in the VRM and I still have the same problem, but what makes me scratch my head is that in some parts of the board like the thermal IC for RSX/CELL I have the pin that connects to the Syscon with only 30ohms to ground, I think the syscon is what is at fault and not the RSX power line, but I found it weird because I have another 3 dead PS3 with exactly the same 30ohms to ground in some Syscon pins, but I haven't seen that in any working PS3 I have. I couldn't find any ripples in the RSX power line that was any different from that of a working PS3.
Any idea if I really got 3 PS3 with dead Syscons or if it's normal for some Syscons to have such low resistance in those pins?
One of them is Pin9, which communicates with pin1 of Termal IC, in this board
Images posted are some spots that connect to Syscon and have only 30ohms resistance
If I heat up the Syscon chip a little, all those lines start having a very high resistance, but the 30ohms resistance returns once the chip cools down
This PS3 showed image once on AV for half a second, that was the only time I saw any image
Am I dead on and it's a problem with a faulty Syscon or am I missing something and the Syscon is ok?
