PS3 Ps3 Syscon and YLOD Help (Rx and Tx pads gone, can't solder to them)

If you didn't see those errors before the reflow, then there might be caused by the repair, but I can't be certain to be honest (let's hope that the new errors you see now were always there).

Regarding the boot sequence of the PS3, here is the entry of the PS3 dev wiki. But it only mentions the CELL, not the RSX, during the sequence. Maybe someone here on the forums can help us out.
 
Update: I got that other ps3 fixed. It seems as if 3034 errors occur before the 3013 and 2120. It ended up working while I had the board angled trying to measure voltages of test points leading me to think maybe a voltage spike kicked it off (not likely) or pressure was required on the RSX. I hope this helps anyone else with this issue and I will repost it in the syscon forum. The ps3 is running now in good condition with CEX 4.89.
 
Is it possible for the ps3 to boot up without the syscon chip or if it is damaged? I've followed both of your instructions to connect to syscon but it keeps invalidating the authentication. I checked for continuity between the new pads and the service connector and i get beeping at various points. There is also continuity between Rx and Tx and all the jumper wires when they are connected yet it refuses to connect. I've also checked voltages and the points are receiving voltage. Could it be possible that the syscon chip itself is damaged? Would it lead to a ylod (probably im thinking)? There doesn't seem to be any visual showing of damage.
