Here is how I connected the syscon. Grounded with grey cable to body. When i do that and connect TXD and RXD, the converter ground LED goes ON even without pluging it to usb. Pins on the converter from top to bottom based on the picture below are (+5v, Gnd, rxd, txt, 3.3v) so in my case Blue...

I tried to run the syscon. but all i get is "answer length"

I just tried to boot my ps3 before attempting the syscon. It was yloding before, now it seems like PSU just goes to protection mode like it has shortage some where. I tried few times and it yloded instead of straight up go to protection. So question is will I able to run syscon to gather anyinfo...

Well look at this from other angle. People learn something new by attempting the fix, even if board is ruined. PS3 has very low value currently, cos it's too early to have retro gaming status, and really worth for ppl who plays ps2 games, or wanna just play through exclusives. For my console it...

have you checked this thread? seems like github repo from the thread has all you need there are pics for syscon points for cok and dia boards. Fault finding YLOD with the SYSCON - First steps and Error reporting for some reason forum not allowing me to put link to the thread, so just do search...

what is syscon testing? Ye mother board is cock - 002. I believe some one posted mother board schematics already UPD: https://gamesx.com/wiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=schematics:sony_ps3_cok-002_5th.pdf page 29 is the green/white schematic of COK-002 board. Is that what you are looking for?

I checked all fuses that i found they all still have connectivity. so i decided to remove jumper wires and all capacitors where GPU and CPU not presented. When i pluged it it YLODed instanly, I tried to turn it on again and some thng blew in the circle with smoke. But connectivity still on all...

I redit my work and removed 2 jumper wires to leave only 2 on the other side. Screwed ps3 together (no termal paste) It ran till this screen and then Yolded. After it ran again but didn't show anything on screen. But green light was on. So i shuted it and tried to run again Instant yold. Fuse?

Addition to ^ I actually accembled cooling system properly(no thermal paste) and YOLD happened after much longer time (25 - 30 sec). PS3 gradually increased fan speed to max before YOLD. But is it realistic for ps to overheat in 25 sec from cold start? or I killed RSX some how with tokin...

Have a phat ps3 that ran TLOU last year with only YOLD in few places(thought overheat). Then tried to play L.A. Noir and it dies on launch, ran GT6 Yold after 5 min 1st training race. So attempted to replace nec/tokins. Removed them without damaging surrounding i think. Just 1 lil scratch on the...
