PS3 YLOD on CECHK01, error 2113, any ideas?

[kyiscray]

Hi everyone, im new to the forum and this probably isn't the best way for me to start off, but ive been struggling with the YLOD on my ps3, it used to boot 2 years ago (but it took maybe 20 power cycles to get to the XMB, and would crash under any heavy 3d load. I recently tried to get it running again, it would have an instant ylod, so I assumed its the NEC/TOKIN. I decided to attempt fixing it after i got enough parts and tools i did an absolutely terrible job of trying to replace it (but the voltage is stable now), without knowing about the SYSCON error logs, and have no prior knowledge of the faults from before its complete death. The only error i get is 2113, and this is the boot sequence i could get from bringup:

bringup
[SSM] state: 0000 -> 0101
Bringup Mode #0 (0xFF)
[SSM] ssmCb_OnStartingBePowOn() called.
[SSM] First Boot.
[SSM] Bringup mode : syspm_stat=00000000/00000000
[POWSEQ] PowerSeq_Setup called.
[SSM] state: 0101 -> 0301
[SSM] PowSeq Fail : Detected !
[SSM] state: 0301 -> 0700
[POWSEQ] AV Backend Letup
[SSM] Shutdown mode : syspm_stat=00000000/00000000
[ERROR]: 0xa0092113

and this is how long its been used (probably irrelevant but might explain something?)

becount
Bringup : 7404 times
Shutdown: 7218 times
Power-on: 401day 03hour 43min 58sec

the only other error i got was 3004 because i accidently shorted the rsx power, but nothing heated up.

let me know if theres any tests i need to do

I forgot how bad my "repair attempt" was... i want to save it, i just don't know if i can anymore, as one of the capacitors on the bottom of the cell broke off because a ball of solder fell onto it.
the capacitor on the bottom of the cell came off because a ball of solder fell onto it.

if anyone still wants to help let me know, and i'll be honest, i never seem to fix things, which is probably unsurprising to anyone who saw these images but ive tried. the power supply DOES work, the cell warms up after enough power cycles, with the rsx getting less warm. the fan test spins the fan at full speed, the blu ray drive works, the hard drive works, and I can't test the wireless/usb board. so im at a loss, applying pressure to the rsx/cell does nothing, heating them up does nothing, basically the only thing i havent tried is giving up or getting a new ps3.

Hi, it is supposed to be a lower-level system hardware error. Related to fans, but as you said, it was running.
If i had to guess, it is what is being used instead of the NEC TOKENs but that is not the error you get, so could be due to the damage on the traces, where the NEC was supposed to be.
If you still want to try it for this or another device, try the Felix ones,

I don't think it is the same board, the one i was working on last week was a COK-001. But check images of a clean board and see if any traces were cut, and look into trace repair, if that is something you would like to do.

One advise is, if something happens that you have not seen or read about, come back here, ask. Put your project on pause, vs powering through. Watch videos of people attempting the repair, watch multiple. Understand the process before attempting. Ask people here. This is all part of the learning process.

thanks, i think i might go and order some tantalizers! the board is a DIA-002, and i have basically 0 console repair experience, so i really hoping this works. With a sketchy test though, i did find the cell power rail had a bit more noisy than the rsx. i connected this 16 ohm speaker directly to the rsx and cell power rails, and found that the cell had more audible noise, which could mean either this test absolutely sucks, or that the power rail actually isn't stable enough and it shuts it off because it detects the instability. i have absolutely no idea if im right since im basically guessing ilke crazy, but im predicting that the high frequency that i can't hear has to be a lot more unstable just due to the higher esr of the tantalums i installed (pack of 50 for $5 is far beyond too good to be true). i still have very low confidence i can get it running again but i have enough hope to put down $30 to see if it will be fixed. i hope i can save this 65nm "fat"! i went through some crazy searching and found someone who had error 2113 and replaced the nec's and got a new error code, so all im hoping for is just for the error code to change.
