When you have declared the RSX "dead" from heatgun//RSX – bump / die//delidded by moron, would it be worth taking a chance/experiment by getting a (hopefully) working replacement RSX to revive the mobo? Aliexpress has used RSX chips "100% Tested" for less than $20...

How do you stress test the reballed consoles? Have any of the consoles you reballed failed during stress testing?

Yes, this is the one I have. You don't use the red line (VCC) on the cable.

Right, oscilloscope - most of us don't have that! I've checked multiple JL points & all fuses (obviously). SYSCON results are cryptic - they point in a direction but are not specific. Any other words of wisdom for the Tokin "dead end"?

How do we verify the Tokin capacitors are the reason for the fault?

Yes, avoid constrained thermal expansion in all directions but support the mobo in a flat plane!

How can a trace be "ripped" in a warranty sealed console?

Don't make a repair assumption and destroy you mobo trying to fix it by removing/replacing/adding capacitors. As other people have suggested and I agree, anyone that wants to try to revive their console read the syscon thread and determine what the error is before you attempt a repair...

USB is a "com" (computer) port. Buy the 2nd item listed.

Thanks @vyktormvmpay25. I want to explore all the "easy" ways to diagnosis the mobo problems: visual, JL voltage checks, syscon, etc. before reballing. I'm trying to do everything I can to reach a point in the board repair process so that the resulting syscon error a0403034 leaves no other...

I have 3 consoles with the following errors. Are you suggesting a RSX reflow/reball for CECHA #2 & CECHE and perhaps a BE reflow/reball for CECHA #1? CECHA #1 [POWERSEQ] Error : BitTraining BE:RRAC:RX4:GLOBAL1:RX_STATUS ofst[120]:err_code:0xffffffff, clock:0xffffffff...

Model: CECHA01 SYSCON Error : a0213013 From post #1 of this thread : "A0213013 BE_SPI DI/DO ERROR - CELL not communicating to syscon via SPI (1.2V MC2_VDDIO and 1.2V BE_VCS no output) = Possible shorts on the line, check C4001 and trailing caps. Possible CELL dead?" Visual inspecting of the...

First you must be logged in and then I think you need to reach the magic number ~15 posts before you can PM, use search, like a post, etc.

Yes, you must be in internal mode. No, just put the motherboard in the metal shell, connect the power supply, fan, eject/power board and support it in the bottom half of the console. TX to TX & RX to RX.
