Hello everyone.
No real reason to make a topic for me, i'm slowly digesting what's new in the Playstation scene so far.
I used to own a fat PS2 and later on a slim which i still have. (tried to install a DMS4 EZI years ago and its been somehow damaged ever since)
Still have the memcard for it & two ps1 memcards, i would really like to get the data backed up if they still have data.
Back when the PS3 was still a relevant console i tried my hand at repairing YLOD consoles.
Bought a couple without any real electronics knowledge apart from my PC but managed to get a CECH-25xx to boot. (the PSU needed some adjustments on the potentiometers i think they are)
Bought a E3 Flasher and downgraded, installed CFW and that was it.
I was convinced this could be a profitable enterprise, buying YLOD units and repairing them.
Then i bought more YLOD consoles and got me a heating plate, hot air station, stencils, balls etc..
All the units i repaired was either through swapping the ODD or other parts or just software issues.
0 YLOD fixed, i did some re-balling but never got to verify whether my re-balling was bad or just the tokins.
Even the slim i originally downgraded is now showing signs of overheating.
I stashed everything away quite some time ago but i still have ~10 fat ~7 slim that are YLOD/GLOD in storage.
Also recently got a super slim from a colleague which he claimed to work but was disassembled.
Recently sparked a new interest in repairing them reading about the syscon UART and NEC/TOKIN developments.
Still have all the solder materials so i figured i'm already invested so much i might as well go all-in.
Ordered some tantalizers from PCBWay and caps on Mouser, they should arrive next week.
In the mean time i upgraded the slim PS3 to 4.92 Evilnat, and had a look at ps3toolset.
A0801200 = Cell overheating?
A0802022 = PS2 Game error?
The unit does shut down after ~5 minutes when playing PS2 games and GT5 Prologue gives weird artifact-like issues.
EDiT: I posted the topic preview by accident so i'll leave it at this for now.
Any comment or insight is appreciated.
