Hope you could help

Hey dude,
https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Syscon_Error_Codes
Those will show you syscon error codes. 1002 usually means RSX power, which means faulty NEC/TOKEN.
This is your board,

Both sides have them. These things eventually fail. You need to replace those. The error, 3004 could also be related to NEC/TOKEN,

My next step would be to order the felix tantilizer, which here is the link where you can download the files to have it made or make it via the site.

And someone i believe shared the project on PCB Way too,
https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/PS3_Tantalizer_6f95a7fc.html

Hope that helps. And if it works, please let us know for the next guy.

Hi thanks for the help

Will a new token will do the trick or it's will be better to use the Felix tantalizer

I've manged to find thous on ali

Really appreciate the help

New NEC/TOKENs will work. But keep in mind, that these tokens will eventually expire just sitting on a shelf.
That is because these things use silver which will react with air and lose its capacitance over time.
you have to figure out how long ago were they manufactured.
experiments have been run where a board with NEC were heated on a bga heater at 120C for a month where the tokens failed once the test was over.

so we know it's not an issue with a bad batch of tokens. But rather that these tokens are reaching their life's end. That is not as much as an issue with the tantalizers. so I would replace NEC for now. But keep in mind if these tokens are brand new you will get maximum of 1000 hours out of these.
Realistically these are sourced from broken boards.

For more information please watch this video by RIP Felix

Hi again

I managed to replace the token it tooks some time but I made it,

but....

now I recived a different error :

00000000 A0801200 127D7054
adithinaly to the
00000000 A0801002 127D71EA


any thought?

 

[Samsensei]

1200 is a RSX temp error,
1002 is a RSX Power error which is usally related to NEC TOKEN error.

A lot of reading. Also reference the last 4 digits with the second link. Like for example. A0801200
Where you can use the last 4 digits to to syscon error codes site, and see what is causing the problem.
This should help you narrow things down.
