Sure, I can provide a little more detail about what I did (This is pretty off topic now through as it kinda doesn't relate to the NEC/TOKIN replacement anymore... so mods delete this if you think it is not helpful?). Before anything else I'm going to paraphrase Naked_Snake1995: 'DISCLAIMER - Do...

I think that you are correct in saying that my PS3 is in need of a reballing... So, after becoming very despite to get this PS3 working I decided to attempt a reflow of the CELL and RSX. I know that this is very risky as it can literally destroy the RSX but since this board was not working at...

I think that I'm in the same situation as you are with your PS3. On my CECHA01, I still get YLOD when using the AUX or the Panasonic tantalum capacitors (check my first post to see the model numbers for them). I have tried adding more jumper wires on both sides of the board and also trying it...

No dice. I'm still getting a YLOD in ~4 seconds with all the jumps on the side of the board with the CELL and RSX chips (4 jumpers in total with 2 per chip). I'm thinking maybe I need to get some thicker wire? I think I might also try and pick up some 16 AWG wire to use as jumpers instead like...

I took your advice and I added more jumpers on the positive rails (as well as adding some electrical tape on the ground rail to try and prevent shorts). I removed the old jumpers and I instead used some solid core copper wire I had laying around (I unfortunately don't know what AWG...) I added...

Thanks for your reply! I went back and removed that wire to see if that was the problem. Unfortunately, even after removing that wire I still get YLOD in ~3 seconds. I also checked my previous solder work on the capacitors for any shorts to ground and I did not see any. Do you think replacing...

So here’s a picture of the top and bottom sides of my phat ps3. I replaced all the AUX capacitors with Panasonic ones (to see if height was issue. Sadly, it wasn’t :() I’m still getting YLOD in roughly 3ish seconds. What do you guys think I should do?

I think I need some opinions on my attempted repair on a CECHA01... So, currently I have a CECHA01 that I replaced all of the NEC/TOKIN capacitors with AUX's F930J477MNCAJ6 following the guide. I replaced each of the NEC/TOKINs one at a time but I got the same result (YLOD) after I replaced...
