I had a similar problem, but not copying files, it was reading files. The games always had stuttering during FMVs, especially in the God of War franchise. The solution was to replace the hard drive. For some reason my Samsung HDD was incompatible with my PS3. I replaced it with a different...

Not solved. Is completely dead

Yes, it was 8x 0E128.

Yes, 6400uf per chip (RSX & Cell)

GND <-> GND = 0.0 ohms (close) GND <-> Positive NEC Pad (RSX/Cell) = 2.4ohms GND <-> Positive Board Connector 12v = 2.4ohms Positive Board Connector 12v <-> Positive RSX Nec Pad = 0.0 ohms (close) Positive Board Connector 12v <-> Positive CELL Nec Pad = 5.0 ohms ?? Positive NEC Pad RSX <->...

Hello. Exactly. The console is in standby I turn on and beep once and shut down completely without being in standby again. Edit: I noticed that 12v pins/connector on the board are shorted or low resistence?? using dmm, if i just plug that 5v cable from the power supply the console turns on it...

Bad news. I put all the new tantalum capacitors on both sides... made two bridge "18awg" (cell and rsx) and when it turns on it just beep once and shuts off completely (blackout - as if the power source was disarming). I checked the tantalums to see if there were any shorted or some welds...

Ordered new tantalum capacitors. Next week I'll post the result.

Reverse

V-in - V-out (Left) GND - V-out (Right) - Short @Edwired Was reading your posts a few pages, did you have the same problem or is this short normal?

Here some pics. I removed all capacitors on both sides. The short persists in that area. In the cleaning process I ended up damaging this area in the red circle.

I checked the pads and visually they are very clean not connected, only dmm detects this short. The photo has light reflection and it looks like the pads are connected. I did the test between v-in and v-out and got reading in dmm, no short or buzz. Later, I'll post closer pictures.

Thanks for the tip. Even removing the solder and all tantalum capacitors the whole region in red has continuity. I checked the trails below the nec tokins and they are all perfect. Would any shorted component cause this continuity in this area?

Hello. I put 16x 330uf capacitors (RSX & CELL) and as soon as I turned on my PS3 one of the tantalum capacitors burst. The multimeter is reporting continuity between (GND and V Out) in this area in red. Any suggestion?

Here's my CECHH12 (CPU-65nm / RSX-90nm) No matter what thermal compound i use, the RSX is always high here. At this point I'm using a Gelid Extreme, already used an MX-4 and the result was the same. The thermal paste is on both sides of the IHS. Idle is 75º (XMB) 5 min playing GTA V (5...
