PS3 SYSCON Tutorial (Windows)

[villahed94]

Hello everyone
Trying to fix ps3 CechG08 Sem-001
Came into my hands without Tokins
The error code at that time was 3004
Now I'm at a dead end and don't know what else to check
Please help

Do you have a multimeter at hand? Check the impedance of VCC RSX to GND at the capacitors. It should be around 3 Ohm. Did you also put the bridges between the positive terminals?

It should be around 3 Ohm

Rsx is 1.2 Ohms and cell is 2 Ohms
i

Did you also put the bridges between the positive terminals?

yes, i put there 16awg bridges

Hey everyone, I have a PS3 Super slim (CECH-4004C with MSX-001), the console does not show a standby, or the on light.
I tried two different power cables and even tried two power supplies (ADP-160AR and APS-330) but with no luck.

I tried getting syscon logs off the console by soldering wires to the Tx and Rx points and grounding it on the copper edges, but no matter what, I kept getting "Auth1 response invalid."
I tried two different USB-to-TLL/UART adapters, a CP2102, and a CH340, ending in the same outcome.

Since there seems to be no communication, I assume something does not get power or something does not work.

Please let me know what I could do to further diagnose/fix this issue if it is even possible.

Check whether there is 5V voltage delivered to the motherboard. The situation you described where there is no standby cannot be connected to syscon. It requires the 5V voltage output by the power supply to connect.

Hey, after checking with a multimeter, both power supplies output 5V. I guess it must "get lost" somewhere on the motherboard. I will be checking it more with a multimeter but if you have any tips or recommendations on what to check or things that can cause this issue let me know and ill check them out asap.

what i'm doing wrong? Any suggestions?

I'm answer myself: don't forget a ground wire. I make a ground connection with PS3 and everything is solved.

Really wish there was a Syscon app, that supports Windows 7,8 and XP, no Command Prompt, no Python just launch the app like JRunner for the Xbox 360 and your all set.

Hi,
Why can't I access SYSCON? 'Windows64_gui_ps3_syscon_uart_script.exe' doesn't work. Just gives message: 'Auth response invalid'. SysconReader also says 'Auth response invalid'. This applies to both of my CECHL/VER-001 (one working and one with YLOD). I have no problems reading my CECHA/CECHB/CECHC/CECHE-syscon. So why can't I get this to work. First time trying 'Sherwood-syscon'. The wires I'm using are OK (all the way to the Rx/Tx resistors) and checked for short circuits somewhere, but no. Tried changing Tx/Rx. (and yes - 5V to motherboard is on). Tried with both UART 'FT232' and 'CP2102' on two different PCs.
Suggestions?
