i followed this guide here, just changed the neutral line and hot line into 2 hot lines. 120V on each line for 240V since i live in USA. another thing i changed was the RCBO, instead i used 2 circuit breakers for each 120V line.

I've actually built my own BGA Rework Station since i posted here, i have 2 rsx mod chips waiting, and a ps3 slim donor with a working 40nm rsx. ive been practicing on dead boards/laptop boards to make sure i dont mess up this good board. It hasn't been done yet, and ive been considering sending...

Appreciate the detailed response, considering the numerous codes thrown and that being the only area that’s damaged, I’m about 90% sure that’s causing these errors. The worst part is I actually moved to between the ram chips and the IHS after the failed attempt at the knicked spot. Guess I was a...

yeah im right there with you, it is getting annoying. i can say for certain the trace is fine on the RSX as ill show you in this post. im currently looking at if i knocked off another component by chance.

well interestingly enough, i believe i was able to get that knick back where it was supposed to be, as both those errors are now gone and replaced with a 3031 now. this is sure getting interesting. as for the becount, here that is. >$ becount becount Bringup : 921 times Shutdown: 77 times...

i will say the console was in fact sealed before opening it, no history of being worked on. i checked errorlogs beforehand and the only errors were that 3032 we were getting before. I use a controlled heat soldering iron with various tips, and also have flux, a microscope, and a hot air...

a little sad to say but, i took a look at the RSX again and noticed a VERY small knick in the pcb, so i looked at it under a microscope and it looks like it could be a problem but im not sure.

A little update to this, An update to this: I re-attached the resistor and seemed to still have the YLOD as before. I checked all around the CELL to make sure I didn’t knock anything else off but can’t seem to find anything. edit: I’m getting two new codes for 2101 and 3034. I’m familiar with...

sure enough that exact one you pointed out came off its contact, ill reattatch it and give an update (its hanging on by one point i got lucky)

Hi! I recently did a delid on both the RSX and the CPU of a WORKING A01 board. the RSX came off no problem and the CPU was a little more tough as always, but I know for fact I didn’t scratch anywhere on the chip. Now after I reapplied paste and gave it a shot at turning on I almost instantly got...
