Is it possible for the ps3 to boot up without the syscon chip or if it is damaged? I've followed both of your instructions to connect to syscon but it keeps invalidating the authentication. I checked for continuity between the new pads and the service connector and i get beeping at various...

Update: I got that other ps3 fixed. It seems as if 3034 errors occur before the 3013 and 2120. It ended up working while I had the board angled trying to measure voltages of test points leading me to think maybe a voltage spike kicked it off (not likely) or pressure was required on the RSX. I...

Hey man, thanks for the effort and time to make those diagrams, just checked out your github. I have an error in my cok-002 following with a0202120 10x and once a0213013 so I believe the issue is mostly the power to the RSX. Im going to follow your diagram to check the test points. I am a little...

the 2.2 and 2.6 on the tokins is that related to resistance or voltage you were getting so I can check rn?

hey man, im checking the resistance for c4001 and it gives me a high value in 6s and 7s. Did you end up removing it? What happened? C4004 gives me relatively low value near 0.

I have about 10x A022120 and 1x A0203013, I don't understand your process. You said you put it back together and it ended up working, but you also said that you replaced the fuse after? Can you elaborate? Do you remember what readings you were getting in resistance? My fuse has low resistance...

what is bothering me is that these error codes were not there in the beginning. These only came after I reflowed. Therefore I am not sure if I actually did more damage then there was, or if there was two problems and I only fixed one. I don't know if when you power on a ps3, if it first...

I want to ask a quick question. On the ps3 dev wiki it says that the fault a023013 is related to a dead Cell also and people get this error code when they mess up a delid or smtg. I only got this error code once in my log and the rest are a020120. Before I go through the process of trying to...

thank you for this! this just keeps getting deeper and deeper lol. While I was initially pissed off, this might be a good thing. The new e01 i got ylods exactly the same time as my old one. So even though I can't connect to the syscon of my og e01, maybe the fault is the same considered it...

Hello, I recently used syscon to find errlogs of a ps3 e01. At first it was giving me 3034 and 4422 related to RSX failure. I did a proper reflow and now I am getting A0202120 and A0213013. Is there an in-depth explanation towards these error codes and exactly what am I supposed to do?

Thank you for this, I am going to take a further look at my own E01 and follow the tracks. It has a cok-002 motherboard which doesn't trace into the system connector making it hard to trace. For the other E01 I got access to the syscon, I actually changed the jumper wires on my UART that kind of...

Hello to all, I just wanted to say thanks for all the help. I got another ylod chece01 and I did not mess up the soldering. This time I put flux and used only 300C and got the right syscon connection. Now here's the thing, at first i was getting errors 3034 and 4422 -> leading to RSX failure. I...

Alright, I'm going to go at it again now hopefully I can get some results to share. Will keep you posted. Thanks for all the info again!

Edit, I just re-read your comment. The solder wire I got from china Thanks for the video it was very informational. Compared to what he did in the video, I don't think I scraped as hard. So I was able solder onto the pads. I ended up having lead + tin solder which worked as you said. I'm not...

Alright. I'm going to keep going at it with that technique. Just a quick question, it may be sometime before I can get my hands on a fibreglass brush, before I was going at it with a flathead screwdriver. Should I keep doing trying to expose the copper with a screwdriver or is that too dangerous...
