Yep, totally fine. I played 2~3 hours every day this week without a problem.

Maybe this post I made some time ago? https://www.psx-place.com/threads/research-experimental-nec-tokin-capacitors-replacement-ylod.25260/page-232#post-323886 The E01 PS3 is running fine since then, at least with PS2 games. But yes, when cold booting some random YLOD's occurred before replacing...

Hello everyone, I recently got an YLOD CECHA01, for parts to fix another A01 with PS2 playback issues, and decided to look at the SYSCON codes, it's full of 3034's and 4322's wich indicates an RSX BGA issue, I was not planning to fix this unit, reballing prices here are quite expensive, and I...

I used 470uF panasonic caps, 4 for each tokin.

Hello everyone, I'm reporting back 2 PS3 that have caps replaced: A01: Constantly YLODing when booting, after replacing the RSX tokins it stopped with YLOD's when booting, but would YLOD consistently when starting a PS2 classic and sometimes when powering off, all where 1001 errors, then...

I tried both, CD and DVD. Also CFW and OFW, saw some people saying that downgrading to 4.82 fixed the issue, but it didn't worked for me.

I did tried that, and this PS3 was running +80ºC, but no success. Also doubt it's EE+GS issue, more like a shorted capacitor or some other bad component, it looks like it's just not starting, I did a test mounting a disc with wMM and after starting the game no led activity from the HDD.

Also have a CECHA with PS2 issues, no PS2 logo, but the menu opens and I can exit to the XMB, it still have a 90nm RSX, but I replaced both RSX and Cell tokins, before the change already had the problem, hope to find a solution.

Hello everyone, I am trying to fix a fat K model that had a short in the 12V line, looking through the board I found a cracked ceramic capacitor near the tokins(the image is from the wiki): I removed the cracked capacitor and the short was gone, the PS3 powered on without a problem, I don't...

Nice, changing only the duty of the fan makes the process much more easy :encouragement:. How can I use the script to dump the EEPROM? Can you point me a tutorial about that? So it was WMM the responsibly for all that, good to know. About the 1001 error, any advice on how to proceed...

Yup, that's exactly the same problem I have. I will inspect the board to see if I can find any faulty component. Good to know that I can easily go back to the default values for the fantables, I feel more confident know to play around the fantables values, thanks for the info :D.

I was using the CFW fan control in another console with manual speed for PS2 games and max temp otherwise and had some problems with PS2 games don't starting, going back to OFW solved the issue, I tried again with WMM fan control and had no problems while paying PS2 games. Changing the fantables...

I am using the last evilnat CFW and webMAN mod with the fan control enabled, I don't know if maybe be the cause of that. The fan curves haven't been altered, and looking by the pads I am the first soldering to them. I could try reinstalling OFW to check if the same thing happens again.

Sorry it took so long, but finally got some free time to do all this. Just as a reminder, this PS3 is an A01 with RSX caps replaced and sometimes YLOD's with 1001 error code when playing a PS2 classic or shutting down. It's a mullion SYSCON, I did the steps to gain internal access successfully...

Just more convenient to use something that I already have. But no need to buy it, I managed to get it working with the rpi4 :D. Just needed to connect them to a common ground, then I got a successful auth with the syscon. So, what commands I need to use now to get the logs while the PS3 is...
