PS3 (Research/Experimental) - NEC/TOKIN Capacitors Replacement - YLOD

[Gus21]

So far I don't understand if a ps3 has bad BGA, because when changing the nec/tokin for tantalo it works again!
It should work again with reballing and not with a simple nec/tokin exchange.

 

[DeadEnd]

To be clear, I'm not disagreeing that there could be other root causes, there certainly could be. I'm only reporting so far on my 3 out of 3 success.

I would be careful calling it a "success" knowing that there is a chance you didn't fix the root cause. Temporary revival would be more appropriate phrase. This type of thinking and false conclusions are, after all, the very things we have been trying to reverse in this community.

 

[RIP-Felix]

Thanks for the instructions. I ordered the materials and will pull SYSCON codes later this week from the B and H.

To be clear, I'm not disagreeing that there could be other root causes, there certainly could be. I'm only reporting so far on my 3 out of 3 success. Temporarily minus one A model because of a delid gone wrong. I don't mind throwing parts/money at a problem and learning along the way. Could it break down again? Sure. But now that I know my buddy (same place that's doing the Joycon repairs for Nintendo, and radios for Chrysler) has access to a factory grade BGA rework machines, if I have to install a new RSX or rework my existing, then that's what I'll do next. Not a big deal.



Thanks, I'll look into alternative caps to swap these back out on the next round of repairs, if the next round of repairs happen. Soldering these caps is extremely easy, so I'm not worried about that. I have a desoldering station and Hakko soldering iron, which make quick work of that job. It almost takes longer to take the PS3 apart and put it back together.

My B model has been turned off a number of times and fully cooled, yes. Only once was it running about 50 hours straight.

I think you misread my post, I have PC's mining Etherium which is causing a high ambient temperature in the room. The PS3 is not mining ETH.

Oh, I thought perhaps a PS3 would make for a good miner..IDK. Regardless, it'll be good to see the SYSCON codes behind your YLOD's. We have had subjectively good results reported in the past, where a single user reported multiple successes. What's different here is that you have the opportunity to prove your consoles benefited from this tutorial.

If say all 3 had a 3034, that would refute everything we've been recommending for the last year! 3034 means reball - issues on the RSX or CPU that changing the TOKINs shouldn't fix; not long term, anyway. Sure there's the brief false positive, but if you get lasting results, confirmed with daily testing over the course of several months, then that's evidence I can't ignore. However, we'd need you to be very diligent and honest with your testing/reporting. People want the myth to be true so bad they will lie to themselves that everything's fine when it isn't. It's easy to do when the console's working. After it re-lapses, then they start rationalizing in the context of the myth. It must have been to high an ESR, a cold solder joint, it's the bridge wires, not enough of them, etc. Then they solder them in again (re-warping the board) and when it works again, they are relieved their precious myth is still alive...anything to avoid believing a reball is needed.

A one off event is one thing, but multiple consoles is another. If you had 3034's and the tokins fixed them for more than a few weeks with unbiased testing and no relapses, then that's evidence I can't refute. Conversely, if the 3 consoles you have show 1002 or 3004 errors, the codes that indicate tokin failures, then we may have to re evaluate how prevalent the tokin failure is.

Here's the thing. Since we've learned that the 3034 is associated with the BGA and RSX/CPU problems not related to the TOKINS, no one has attempted the Tantalum "mod" on it. They have accepted the need for a reball and moved on. It seems like a waste of time and money at that point. And let me be clear, that's what I currently believe is the case. Based on the evidence thus far, there doesn't seem to be any valid way for a 3034 to be permenantly fixed with a tokin swap. We've measured them with an oscilloscope and confirmed they function fine, reballed to a woking status (or not, since it can be on the die itself). The point is, the syscon hasn't been performed on very many of the consoles users have claimed a sucessful tantalum "mods." So there is data to be collected. Important data!

I wish we could retroactivly contact every user attempting this "mod" and have them report their console's errorlog. Then we'd know what the true proportions of false positives were. Or we'd get a sense of how many 3034's made it past the 2 week relapse period, which is possible too..I guess. I chose 2 weeks because most consoles that relapsed do so within 2 weeks. It's arbitrary. The amount of heat used seems to be directly correlated with how long it kept working. Maybe some lasted a couple of months...a year...IDK. Maybe the user got it working and eager for the flip they convinced themselves they fixed it...and sold it on e-bay before the re-lapse. They assume because the buyer hasn't attempted to return or made a claim, that means it's still working. It doesn't, but I understand the cognitive dissonance that leads to that rationale. They don't want to think they sold a dud. That they did enough testing to prove it really was fixed, before selling it. What the truth is, IDK. I only know what the user tells us. I take them at their word, which biases the data.

I ask users to provide the SYSCON first now. It's cheap, easy, better for diagnosis, and roots out the BS up front. As time goes on, we'll get a much better idea of the SYSCON codes associated with these "reported sucessful" tantalum mods. Maybe they'll reveal something we didn't expect.

BTW, I call it a "mod", because it's too experimental to call it a recap. It remains to be seen if TaPol/AlPol caps will be a lasting fix compared to "recapping" with new old stock tokins. AFAIK the first console "modded" hasn't been alive in the wild for more than 2 years. The OP doesn't have the OG C model he repaired with the "mod." It lasted a year at least, but we don't know if it's still working since he doesn't have it anymore. Until we know low ESR TaPol/AlPol caps will last at least as long as the tokins I'm going to call it a "mod." Mods can be good, bad, or neutral (it's subjective). Whereas, a recap is generally seen as an upgrade/renewal. The problem with TaPol/AlPol caps is that they are inferior to the NEC/TOKINs! Proadlizers are an upgrade, comparatively. Replacing them with TaPol/AlPol caps is detrimental or perhaps a lateral move. Because of this experimental aspect, I choose to use the word "mod" to describe what we're doing here.

Hello everyone,

first of all, thanks for the detailed guide to replace the nec/tokin capacitors used in PS3 systems.

Here are my experiences.

I own a CECHC04 which died first in 2014 with an YLOD. Knowing about the issues related to that, I decided to hand over my PS3 to a workshop who was to reball and replace the RSX. Instead they reflowed it in a very horrible way, so that the motherboard was stained with fire residues. The fix lasted for about 4 weeks or so.

From that point on I tried to fix the PS3 on my own using reflowing, because no workshop would lay its hands on that "raped" motherboard. In detail here is what i've done so far:
- disassembly an cleaning especially the cooling system
- put holes into the case right underneath the fan
- removal of both IHS (now using MX4 and AS5)
- reflowing using different temperatures and environmental conditions like reflowing on an heated grill

However my fixes didnt last for long, round about 4 to 5 weeks.

So when I read this i decided to give it a try hoping for the best. My PS3 was in "good" condition since i stored her. So the first step was to play until she would suffer the YLOD, this took about 2 weeks at airtemperatures of 30°C. Highest temps to measure on board were around 65°C for the RSX, and 70°C for the CELL.

Then I tried the NEC replacement:

First, I replaced one NEC on the RSX - no fix
Second, I replaced all NECs on the RSX - no fix
Third, I replaced all NECs on the CELL - no fix
measuring the voltages on both powerlines during startup (cap positive to ground 1,23 V - CELL, 1,20 V - RSX)
Afterward i reflowed the CELL and the RSX (again). - fixed, this PS3 is back to life (at least for now)

As far as I can see, the PS3 works properly, no graphic issues.

Conclusion:
It is clear to me, that my PS3 obviously had no faulty NEC aboard, or at least they were not only the cause for my YLODs. But now that cause of malfunction is eliminated due to their replacement.

Whats up next: Maybe I find a way to desolder the CELL and RSX and reball them with Sn63Pb. This would be my last attempt to permanent fix this nice piece of game console.

 

[DeadEnd]

So far I don't understand if a ps3 has bad BGA, because when changing the nec/tokin for tantalo it works again!
It should work again with reballing and not with a simple nec/tokin exchange.

It works because you are heating/bending/messing with the board during capacitors replacement. Any microscopic bends might reconnect microscopic fractures in the bga under RSX. Heat especially might even temporarily recover the RSX because of whatever internal fault/silicon degradation/substrate issues it might have.

Thanks for your help so far.

I ordered a 40nm RSX in addition to the 90nm I already have on the way, I'm considering the Frankenstein mod. Might as well have both on hand to decide which path to take.

I'm going to order your Tantalizer v0.2b 0.8mm for my Model A, and probably a handful of extras. I plan to use qty (3) Panasonic #2R5TPE470M7 per Tantalizer for (12) total. My question is: Are the (3) of 22uF and (3) of 10uF per necessary, and if so, what part numbers do you recommend for each?

For the Indonesian "IC mod" chip, apparently the only way to buy this is from a third party though Fiverr, with questionable results? Has anyone already bought a bulk order and sitting on inventory? I suppose I can take this question to the Frankenstein thread.

Are there alternatives to the Indonesian mod on the horizon? I'd rather wait if something better is coming down the pike.

What do you mean by "questionable results" exactly? Ordering through Fiverr has been smooth in my case. Every modchip has arrived. You can probably try contacting @botakompong directly, since he is the one making them after all.

At the moment not many people have swapped their GPUs, and most technicians would not be aware of the modchip's existence. PS3 repairs aren't exactly a thing anymore.

The alternative is syscon remarrying and swapping, which is even more complex and has not been fully tested yet, So I'd recommend to go the modchip route.

Maybe situation will change in the future...

Not necessarily. The pads for MLCCs are there in case you want or need additional noise reduction. I answered this in more detail not too long back...

Yeah, that matches the wiki photo and what I thought. Thanks for confirming that. You might want to consider adding 12x 22uF and 12x10uF MLCCs in future repairs of 0d108 tokins on RSX side of 20xx boards. They lower the impedance from 1-10Mhz to acceptable levels. This is just to better emulate what Sony did from 21xx boards onwards. Based on my oscilloscope measurements 100KHz - 10MHz is the range of switch mode noise generated by the VRM.

Here's the bad tokin waveform on my CECHA01 (PS3#7). Frequency of the switch mode noise is 485kHz:

And here it is after TaPol. CPU (Yellow) = 18x270uF TaPol and RSX (Blue) = 12x 470uF TaPol. The remaining noise is in the 1-10MHz range, especially on the CPU (Yellow). The 270uF B-case caps actually allow more of it through. So I recommend sticking with 470uF:

The noise above 10MHz has very low amplitude.It's adequately decoupled by 0.1uF MLCCs on the motherboard or reduced by common mode chokes.

So, 470uF caps took care of 100KHz -1MHz, but the remaining 1-10MHz noise can be decoupled using 10uF and 22uF MLCCs. Theoretically they'll flatten it below 1mOhm. I recommend keeping the range of 100kHz - 10MHz below 1mOhm impeedance and ESR in order to guarantee efficient PSU and filter performance. You can use KEMETs K-sim to figure out any combination of caps you want.

I would imagine if there isn't enough capacitance to smooth out voltage drops during peak loads, the console will likely just YLOD on boot during the POST process. It does a basic test on boot to see if the processors are alive and kicking. That's the rev-up you hear when you first start the console. It's not taxing like an intense game, but it's more than just idling in the XMB. So that really only leaves the noise component.

The noise is more variable. Noise spikes can occur at any time due to any load. If they occur at an important time, they'll interfere and eat up CPU cycles. If it gets bad enough, they'll cause a YLOD. So in @Pacorretaco's case the noise increase caused by removing half the tokins wasn't enough to cause an instant YLOD, but it surely would have caused the CPU/GPU to work harder (more heat) and probably would have caused a YLOD under stress (like a game). In the case of tokins losing capacitance, they steadily allow more noise in. So you can add tantalums like he did to replace the lost capacitance, but the reason we use 470uF is because they're impedance vs frequency curve (frequency response curve) has a resonance frequency centered at the correct range of the switching noise range. So yes, it adds back capacitance, but does so surgically targeting the noise frequency.

Here's an example of just 3x 470uF TaPol caps...

The red box is the area of concern. from 100KHz-10MHz is the component of switching noise that the tokins are responsible for decoupling. Notice how the impedance curve pops out the top of the box? That means noise of 3MHz+ will not be reduced below 10mOhms (I chose that number to be safe, but can it be calculated as Z_target if you have the correct information). Here's an Oscilloscope image of the noise left over after replacing with just 470uF tantalum Polymer caps...

The RSX (Blue) has 12x470uF TaPol caps and the CPU (Yellow) has 18x 270uF TaPol B-case caps. You can see that the remaining noise on the RSX has a frequency of 1.92MHz and an amplitude of about 10mVpp. Based on the K-sim above we were expecting it to be 3MHz, but real world doesn't match theoretical exactly. It was pretty close though. The frequency of the noise on the CPU is 2.63MHz and if you look closely there are 2 distinct amplitudes of noise. One 30mVpp peak followed by two ~20mVpp peaks. That's what I meant when I said there appears to be 2 distinct peaks when I combined having 470uF caps on the RSX and 270uF caps on the CPU. The K-sim of the 270uF caps shift their frequency response curve to the left. So they allow more noise through the "red box" above (target frequency). I "think" that explains why the frequency of the noise is different and why it's amplitude is higher. However, it's important to note that this noise is being produced primarily by the IOR switching voltage regulators and the CPU has three of them, whereas the RSX has two. So the RSX filter doesn't have to remove as much noise as CPU's does.

The above noise is fine. That combination of capacitors was stable in intense games, no problem, but I think I could do better. That's why I added MLCC pads to my Tantalizer PCB. Here's what the K-sim of my recommended combination looks like (3x470uF TaPol + 3x22uF MLCC + 3x10uF MLCC)...

That gets the combined frequency response curve below the 10mOhm threshold I'm shooting for. But notice that the capacitors I chose target the 1-3MHz frequency? That's the noise I measured! I think this is the easiest and cheapest solution, since you only have to buy 2 additional caps. It's easier to source them and to keep them separate while installing. However, the curve can be theoretically improved using this combination...

...But it's more expensive sourcing 47uF MLCCs and keeping 6 different MLCCs separate during installation is annoying. It does look sweet on paper, but who knows if the real world performance is worth the added expense and headache. Also, it could result in worse performance, since it's doesn't reduce the 1-3MHz noise as much as my targeted approach does (theoretically. I still need to measure the results). EDIT: Here are the measurements for the tantalizers on the CPU...

Noise on the CPU went down predictably. It's well under control now, but there appears to be more noise on the RSX now. It is stable. Perhaps the RSX needs MLCCs also, IDK. It's possible that an anti resonance peak in the CPU side has amplified the noise in the RSX side, but it's still under the threshold and not causing problems, so I'll leave it alone until it does. However, it's up to you what you populate the PCB with, so you can play with the K-sim and come up with a frequency response curve you like.

Basically, you can use an oscilloscope to measure the frequency of the remaining noise and use the K-sim to choose MLCC's to target those frequencies specifically. What we're doing here is trying to make up for the added performance a NEC/TOKIN proadlizer has over Tantalum. We're trying to get a wider attenuation (noise reduction) frequency range that better emulates the superior NEC/TOKINs frequency response curve...

Theoretically, this could move the tantalum "mod" into "recap" territory. That was the idea behind the Tantalizer anyway.

 

[DCa]

I have a question for you all, I have looked high and low, the interwebs, the technical docs but can't figure out the exact value of this part. I know it's a ferrite bead labeled fb6001 but I'm not sure what to order as I don't know the value. I was removing the capacitors with hot air and it tombstoned on me, so while soldering it back in place, it yeeted out of my tweezers onto the unforgiving carpet from my desk. I looked for hours but... poof, ninja vanish.

I was reading through the Frankenstein thread and the results seem hit or miss. Some of the latest posts were questioning the quality/authenticity of the mod chips. Is that incorrect?

Nice. I read through this a couple times and maybe I'm missing it but I didn't see part numbers on the 10 & 22uF?

 

[RIP-Felix]

Nice. I read through this a couple times and maybe I'm missing it but I didn't see part numbers on the 10 & 22uF?

In the pictures of the K-sim at the top are listed the part numbers of KEMET's MLCC's I used to model the frequency response curves. They are theoretical. The Electrolyte makes a pretty big difference. I don't have a recommended part number. It's all experimental. However, you want 0805, X7R or X5R, 10v MLCCs. X7R electrolyte lasts longer with higher thermal endurance, but X5R may be needed for some values or to achieve the response curve you're looking for. I just went back and forth putting the values and part numbers in on the simulator and Mouser/Digikey's website to find what was in stock and a reasonable price. As for the combination. 22uF and 10uF is good enough, but I still need to do some testing. I want to compare various combinations of tantalizer, New old stock proadlizers, TaPol and AlPol under controlled conditions...

I actually just bought a DIY function generator. A cheap electronics project itself. It outputs sine/triangle waves at various frequencies and amplitudes. Supposedly, it easily outputs the frequency range we're interested in (100KHz -10MHz). I should be able to use to simulate the PS3's VDDC switch mode noise. I eventually am planning to use it to dial in the Tantalizer design itself too. I suspect there are too many sharp points causing ringing. It's mainly for fun, so I have no time frame. AKA, whenever I feel like it. That's why I released the beta quickly, so you guys can try it out for your selves while I lolly gag and procrastinate.

Once I finalize the design, you can have it fabricated and populated by JLC PCB. That's the plan, anyway.

 

[RIP-Felix]

... put holes into the case right underneath the fan...

That circumvents the intended airflow path. The PSU relies on suction created by the bottom shell and the fan. The foam seals it off, pulling cool air in from the front vents. The air moves along the upper compartment through the PSU, down underneath the RF shielding, where it helps to cool the VRM, EE+GS and southbridge, then into the HS where it removes the heat from the CPU/GPU. So by cutting holes in the bottom, your getting cooler temps for the CPU/GPU at the cost of higher temps on certain parts of the motherboard and PSU.

I drilled holes in my bottom case too, before I knew better. The PSU will overheat, unless you put a fan on it. I made a custom fan duct that takes the place of the card reader and taps into the 12v for the BluRay player so I could intall a 40mm Noctua fan. Experimentally, it solves the PSU overheating. As for the VRM, southbridge, and EE+GS chips, I'm not sure. It would be an interesting experiment to check the Southbridge temps blocking/unblocking the bottom holes. The SYSCON can read the SB temps, so that can be tested to see if there's any appreciable difference fairly easily. I just haven't SYSCON moded that console and it's in a good state now. I don't want to mess with it.

Squeept had probably damaged the modchips by accident, since the wiring guide was not clear at the time when he was trying to solder it. According to @botakompong there are no fake modchips.

 

[Kleon1876]

Just finished a CELL scratch repair for @Kleon1876, so it's time to show off!

I call this series "I spend all my time soldering so I forgot engineering stuff, but I'm really good at soldering."

Spoiler

Shorted out traces need cleaned up.

2 traces nicked here.

1 additional trace had to be removed after cleaning up all the damage. The only trick here is to swap out for a new exacto blade every 30 seconds or so, so you always have that razor sharp pinpoint tip.

All done. Masked the whole area around the larger trace then scraped the new mask back off. This made it easier to solder to without shorting anything new out. 0.01 millimeter jumper wires on the little 2 traces. The trick when dealing with damaged traces this small and close together is to stagger the points you'll be soldering to so you don't mess up the old ones each time you tack down a new one. That's why one jumper wire is longer than the other even though the damage was at the same spot.

Covered the whole area with some more fresh mask and that's it.

First and foremost I would like to say what a wonderful experience it has been sending my board @squeept for repairs. Great communication, superb micro trace work, and amazing packaging on the way back. So thank you and I highly recommend. Here is where I am at now.

As many of you recall, my CECHA had given me the 3034 error. Here is the original error dump and startup prior to reflow attempt:

As you can see, I started getting the 2203 error instead. So my reflow likely didn't work, and I scratched the BE so I was getting 2203 with "[ERROR]: 0xb0002001 (FATAL) XDR Link not initilized" which many of you suggested was a short on the BE after the scratch. So I contacted the man/the legend squeept and asked to help. I sent the board and he repaired the BE scratches (awesome job). I should note that with the 2203/2001 errors, I was getting GLOD with no response from controllers/or screen. Fan was at one constant speed, almost like it got stuck in boot due to shorted BE.


Upon receiving the repaired board back, I put it together with UART hooked up and typed "lasterrlog" and the error that showed up was 2022. Not sure what this was, however I should note that prior to my reflow, I had error 2022/1001/3034. Somehow the 2022 came back. The 2203 and 2001 fatal were gone thanks to the trace repairs on the BE.

So i did bringup and this is where things get weird. The console turned on, flashed yellow and kicked in the fan and stayed on. It acted like it did before 3034 and YLOD. This is how it started because of webman. The green to yellow flash to fan kicking up because of my fan setup in webman. The controller synced, however nothing on screen. I tried doing the safe mode, got the beep/shutoff/two beeps like usual for safe mode, hoping the screen would kick in but nothing. I did bringup and this is what i got after bringup. It should be noted that with a scratch BE, I wasn't able to get 2 beeps when trying to access safe mode leading me to believe the trace repair worked and then I'm back to my original problem.

Error 2022 according to the error log has something to do with DVE which I am not sure what it is. So I figured I wait until this morning to post, but try again before I do. I fired it up using UARt like I did yesterday and instant ylod. Error 3034. Here is the log.

Spoiler: Overnight error 3034 from 2022/1001

error 2022 from last night (dont mind the date) reads 30:34. Then half a minute later it registers a separate error of 1001. Then (overnight) when I came back its 3034. What does this mean?

Squeept was kind enough to check the necs and said they are good. So if the necs are good, the BE is fixed, I am back to 3034 which was my original problem which many say is RSX related. Am i dealing with a dead RSX? based on the ohm measurement I took before it was good. As for 1001 error, I have done a test on a separtate board where I removed a nec off working board and got 1001. I replaced with tants and console came back to life.

And just for info, is it possible i screwed up the eepcsum when flashing to use python? here is the log.

and finally, this system had been reballed in the past. After reball I never let the temps for rsx and BE go higher that 58C. when it ylod on me this last time, it happened while in xmb and about 5-10 minutes in just sitting at the xmb while at low Celsius temps.

First and foremost I would like to say what a wonderful experience it has been sending my board @squeept for repairs. Great communication, superb micro trace work, and amazing packaging on the way back. So thank you and I highly recommend. Here is where I am at now.

As many of you recall, my CECHA had given me the 3034 error. Here is the original error dump and startup prior to reflow attempt:

I did a reflow using preheater and all, and prior to testing the unit, i decided to delid the BE. I screwed up and scratched it. This was what I was getting with a scratched BE chip.

As you can see, I started getting the 2203 error instead. So my reflow likely didn't work, and I scratched the BE so I was getting 2203 with "[ERROR]: 0xb0002001 (FATAL) XDR Link not initilized" which many of you suggested was a short on the BE after the scratch. So I contacted the man/the legend squeept and asked to help. I sent the board and he repaired the BE scratches (awesome job). I should note that with the 2203/2001 errors, I was getting GLOD with no response from controllers/or screen. Fan was at one constant speed, almost like it got stuck in boot due to shorted BE.


Upon receiving the repaired board back, I put it together with UART hooked up and typed "lasterrlog" and the error that showed up was 2022. Not sure what this was, however I should note that prior to my reflow, I had error 2022/1001/3034. Somehow the 2022 came back. The 2203 and 2001 fatal were gone thanks to the trace repairs on the BE.

So i did bringup and this is where things get weird. The console turned on, flashed yellow and kicked in the fan and stayed on. It acted like it did before 3034 and YLOD. This is how it started because of webman. The green to yellow flash to fan kicking up because of my fan setup in webman. The controller synced, however nothing on screen. I tried doing the safe mode, got the beep/shutoff/two beeps like usual for safe mode, hoping the screen would kick in but nothing. I did bringup and this is what i got after bringup. It should be noted that with a scratch BE, I wasn't able to get 2 beeps when trying to access safe mode leading me to believe the trace repair worked and then I'm back to my original problem.

Spoiler: after BE repair/error 2022 and temps

Error 2022 according to the error log has something to do with DVE which I am not sure what it is. So I figured I wait until this morning to post, but try again before I do. I fired it up using UARt like I did yesterday and instant ylod. Error 3034. Here is the log.

I don't understand why this happened. My guess is because the board relaxed overnight. Here is the interesting part.

error 2022 from last night (dont mind the date) reads 30:34. Then half a minute later it registers a separate error of 1001. Then (overnight) when I came back its 3034. What does this mean?

Squeept was kind enough to check the necs and said they are good. So if the necs are good, the BE is fixed, I am back to 3034 which was my original problem which many say is RSX related. Am i dealing with a dead RSX? based on the ohm measurement I took before it was good. As for 1001 error, I have done a test on a separtate board where I removed a nec off working board and got 1001. I replaced with tants and console came back to life.

And just for info, is it possible i screwed up the eepcsum when flashing to use python? here is the log.

and finally, this system had been reballed in the past. After reball I never let the temps for rsx and BE go higher that 58C. when it ylod on me this last time, it happened while in xmb and about 5-10 minutes in just sitting at the xmb while at low Celsius temps.

BitTraining BE:RRAC:RX1:GLOBAL1:RX_STATUS.

BE = Cell BE CPU
RRAC = Redwood RAMBUS FlexIO Interface (CPU<-->RSX I/O)
RX1 = Recieve Input on interface port 1
GLOBAL1:RX_STATUS = I'm not sure but guess this is a general state of failure. It just means there is a "somthing" preventing it from recieving input on FlexIO port 1.

Think of it like this:
|CPU FlexIO RX1|<--BUMP<--Subtrate trace<--BGA<--Motherboard trace<--BGA<--Substrate trace<--BUMP<--|GPU FlexIO TX1|

Red text means Lead-free solder prone to fatigue.

The CPU was expecting to recieve a BitTraining packet from the RSX on the FlexIO interface port 1. It didn't recieve it! That means somewhere along that line there is a break. An Open Line, not a short. In order of most likely to least likely the causes are thus..

1. RSX BGA Defect
2. CPU BGA Defect
3. RSX Bump Defect (underfill protects these longer than the BGA)
4. CPU Bump Defect (underfill protects these longer than the BGA)
5. Motherboard Traces got nicked or corroded
6. CPU Traces got nicked or corroded
7. RSX Traces got nicked or corroded

The last 3 are more likely if the console has been previously worked on and especially if the processors were delidded previously. You can rule out nicked traces by physically inspecting the motherboard and CPU/GPU. Reflowing may not rule out the BGA if pads are too oxidized for the solder to wet and adhere. There is no way to know for sure, until the 3034 returns. Reballing removes the oxidation and rules out the BGA. If the issues persist, it only leaves issues that cannot be fixed, such as the bumps or die itself.

About the other errors. 2022 is a DVE error (IC2406 = CXM4024R). That's the MultiAV controller for the analog video out. Quick question, did you by by chance have the AV cable plugged into the console when you tested? I know that if you have an HDMI cord plugged in during a YLOD it generates a 2120 - HDMI error (IC2502). Perhaps it does the same when an AV cable is plugged in...IDK. It's just a guess. Otherwise I would ESR check those electrolytic caps next to it. They could have gone bad depending on how the console was "reballed."

You said it was previously reballed? Are you sure they reballed it and didn't just reflow it? If they used a reflow oven, the heat could have damaged the electrolytic caps. There are others on the board too so I would check their ESR as well and replace if needed.

thank you for the detailed answer. The console was reballed professionally. I reflowed using preheater myself this last time before scratching the BE. As for 2120, that's interesting and good to know. As for 2022, I have never used an AV cable with this console, only hdmi. What's with my 1001 error you think? Both 1001 and 2022 have appeared in the past but according to this last error dump, 1001 came back and this morning followed 3034.

 

[RIP-Felix]

The console was reballed professionally. I reflowed using preheater myself this last time before scratching the BE.

Haha...I asked if you were sure. In other words, how do you know they reballed it? Did you have a friend you absolutely trust reball it, or are you trusting the the professional reballer didn't lie to you! This has been reported among "professional" reballing services! Alternatively, did you pay attention to the temps when you reflowed it? Did it flow below 218C? That kind of thing. If the answer is no, then when you reflowed it the solder could have still not have wetted fully and subsequently break off of badly oxidized pads. We can't rule out the RSX 100%. Maybe we're more like 90% sure it's not the RSX BGA.

That's not really my point though. The point was that even if you reballed RSX and were 100%, the issue could be the CPU's BGA. It's less likely, but that's the next place to look. You could try reflowing it as well, but again oxidized pads don't wet as well and the reflow won't last as long as a reball.

As for 2120, that's interesting and good to know. As for 2022, I have never used an AV cable with this console, only hdmi. What's with my 1001 error you think? Both 1001 and 2022 have appeared in the past but according to this last error dump, 1001 came back and this morning followed 3034.

I'm less worried about those errors than I am about the 3034. We often see other errors associated with a 3034 that disappear when the BGA is fixed. What's interesting about the 1001 is how finicky it is. @squeept was getting an error log full of 1001 and 1002's testing PS3#7 before I traded him for it. In shipping it took a lucky strike strait to the Tokin and all the 1001's disappeared for me. I only got 1002's. Thinking back on this now, he said he only crashed it twice under load. So all those codes occurred at different times. But I know from experiance with the oscilloscope, you have to turn the console on/off a bunch of times to get scope images. @Pacorretaco noted that 1001's can occur from improperly shutting power down. @marciolsf got one by accidentally bridging 2 pins on a clock generator IC and shorting out a 0.1uF MLCC! Interestily it generated a 2120 at the same time. Just flipping the switch off without a graceful shutdown can cause them. It's common to see them in GLOD consoles that get stuck and won't shut off any other way. You have to flip the rocker, which is enough to generate them.

So I suspect the 1001 is mostly meaningless. Just the normal process of testing a console can generate them. I'm starting to think that Av and HDMI errors are possibly triggered as well, but IDK for sure.

But we know the 3034 is the bigger issue. So that should be the focus.

Been looking through this post for 3 weeks now.
Lets just say I made a mistake and only read the first couple pages and then referred to Youtube afterwards and stupidly removed a Tokin without reading further...
Even done the dumb thing of trying some electrolytic caps to replace it as I already had some from a PC motherboard repair many years ago.

Before that mistake I just opened the PS3 up and cleaned out all the dust. Was not to bad. The CPU and GPU paste was not the best though.

So now that I have got up to page 90 I am more educated but need to still read more. I have skimmed through some other pages.

Need to read more about this SYSCON dump, but I think I may have tried booting way to many times, plus disconnected the battery to see the original faults.


Anyhow.
I have a CECHC02 (Australian 240V Launch Unit bought new, we did not get A or B's here as our launch was late March 2007)
It was reballed for a YLOD back in January 2013. It was reflowed unbeknown to me twice before that by the same repairer in 2012, when I payed for a reball. As you could imagine I was very impressed, not, when he told me that upon taking it for the 3rd repair in 7 months after the 6 month's warranty.
I did always have GT6 crashing from the day the game came out.
It worked pretty much OK for all other games all the way until May this year.
My YLOD this time happened mid game in God of War Ascension. It had previously crashed in this game a few times, but I have heard of the game being buggy so I did not think much of it.

At power up I have my YLOD in 1-2 seconds.(before and after removing 1 RSX Tokin, with and without Electrolytic replacement)
The fan does turn on.
I have tested the Power supply and it seems fine. All 5V's are there and so is the 12V.
I have tried the pressure test with no result.
I do have 0.2Ohms between the + and ground on Tokins for both RSX and Cell!!! That sounds like a short to me, but both??? It does not look like I have shorted the rails with my initial solder job.
I do however get a O/P on the CRO in the very short boot time. Only from the RSX as that is easy to get the CRO on with the EMI shield affixed.
I have one with the Electrolytic connected which I did with extension wires and one with just the pads and and no cap.
I will aim to get them up later as I am learning this forum format.
Lets just say they look nothing like previous CRO O/P images posted up with a short. More like ones that have OKish caps.
So I am stumped so far.


So I don't have to read another 100 pages, can someone direct me to a link that explains SYSCON please. Really wpould like to do the dump to see what did break originally and if I have broken anything else since.

BTW I think with the CRO I'm using you have to times the voltage shown by 10. Was using a 10X probe and the CRO knows that yet it still displays 1/10 of the voltage on screen. Go figure. Plus I have not used a CRO in years and have very little experience using them. I'm more of an RF instrument guy.

CECHC02 With 1 token removed from RSX. + Measured on contact pad where token removed.
