PS3 Working on a YLOD PS3, need help knowing what to look for

Hello!
I recently diagnosed a backwards compatible CHECHA PS3 motherboard that has the YLOD and found that it has A0202120 and A0213013 (2120 and 3013) errors. I bought this console and it was unopened and extremely dusty (like holy cow) and since cleaning I am unsure if these errors are the original cause of the YLOD or if they are just byproducts of dust buildup maybe shorting a component after no use and storage. I have successfully delidded the GPU but failed to delid the CPU because I didn't want to push my luck (I am unfamiliar with a lot of this)

That being said, I know that to get rid of these errors I have to most likely find a short around either IC6301 or C6320 and their orbiting components, but since I have no real knowledge of the board I was wondering if anybody had component scematics or references that they could show me to at least start me off on finding this potential short. I do know (from the psdevwiki error codes page) that no voltage downstream of IC6301 means a that fuse F6302 has blown, but again I don't know which chip that is where the fuse is located yet. Anything that you think would be helpful probably is.
Thank you!
