Hi everyone! This is my first time posting on this forum. I'm looking for help with repairing my ps3. Currently, me and a few friends are trying to revive a console that YLOD'ed back in 2014/2015. We've read a lot of forums and posts and decided to replace the NEC/Tokins (we got errors 1002 and 2124 via syscon) with rip felix's Tantalizers and their respective capacitors. Before their replacement, my ps3 would shut itself off immediately after pressing the button to turn on. Now we have new issues...
First time we tried to boot the console, the fan ran really loud and after a few seconds the ps3 turned itself off (no output to monitor)
Afterwards, we tried again and this time the console seemed to run fine? We didn't get any image on the monitor (so perhaps we need to change the hdmi since we also got a 2124 on the syscon errlog) but noticed the monitor "recognized" something when we booted the console. But, after 10-15 minutes, the console shut itself off again.
The third time we tried to boot, the console shut itself off and we spotted smoke coming from the console. After tearing it apart we pinpointed the smoke coming from one of the components near the tantalizers (Picture below).
From then on, sometimes the console doesn't even show the red light while on standby, other times it does, and we can't keep it running for more than a few seconds.
I'll also leave pictures of the tantalizers installed on the board as we are afraid we may have done something wrong while soldering them (this was our fist time working with components of this size and our skills are mediocre at best :/ ). We replaced all 8 nec tokins.
Unfortunately we did not have any scart cables to test if we had any image output when the console ran for 10-15mins on our 2nd attempt.
Also, two of the tantalizers are missing 1 ceramic capacitor each (the component from where the smoke was being released was near one of these two tantalizers missing 1 cap. Maybe it's related?)
Is this board now a lost cause? Is it even worth it to check another errlog? Anybody had a similar issue like this in the past?
Thanks in advance and best regards to all!
