Hello, got a bit of an odd error I’ve not seen before. This is from a PS3 slim CECH-2003, the error code it keeps spitting out in the syscon is A0092114. I have attached the bringup output and the error log. Any help would be appreciated!

Cool, if you are happy to put a seal of approval on it then go for it. Be interested to know the outcomes when a larger amount have been done.

I think it largely comes down to a users skill level and equipment. The pressure mod you are describing is acceptable if you don't have a BGA rework station/skill to carry out a proper reball and just want a fix so to speak. Is it something I would do to a customer console no way as I don't feel...

I think the phrase if it isn't broke, dont fix it applies here. If it is working completely fine no issues over an extended peroid I would not bother going at it with a reflow as you'd just be adding a possible variable to what could speed up a possible failure. If you have boards you want to...

While this may work in lets say for the short term and I have used this method myself just to see what happens more than anything. It is not a long term fix at all and down the road will likely cause bigger problems than already maybe present. In my brief messing about with this method a long...

While the temps are not great in my opinion, I have seen worse. It's likely they've not got the IHS plates lined up correctly or applied to much thermal paste and it's creating uneven pressure (they are really sensitive). I have been doing a few C03's in the warmer weather here in the UK and I...

I do have a CECH-B12 on hand at the moment I can hook up to see if it produces the same or different results to the other B model recently mentioned. Might take me a day or two to do it as I am a bit buried under with work at the moment.

Just curious when you removed the original Tokins did you use a heatgun to get them off? You can indirectly 'Revive' a PS3 by doing this and it's easy to go ah it was tokins after all but in reality you dumped a load of heat into the board which puts one component or another on life support...

Thanks for that I will throw that at it tomorrow, quite late over here and just plugged it in at the end of the day to see what was what with it and it just looked really odd at first glance and then you make it crystal clear and I feel like a fool lol. Correct I received it from a person who...

Anyone able to help me with this, a bit stumped what I am looking for exactly. Got this off someone today was already set to internal mode but the eepcsum is very weird never seen one like this. Guessing they typed something in they shouldn't have? Or maybe I am just being blind. eepcsum...

Haha no I am not in a freezer, temps are mainly like that because it's disassembled. It ran abit hotter once I put the lid back on but forgot to take any pictures. CELL was around 55-56 and RSX was about 58-59 which is usually what I get with these units. Slim was in the same environment but...

Yea that's the one, it could be to do with the crowds never really looked at them close enough fairly certain they are 3D models. Usually when I get the early fat PS3s, again this is in my experience might be just luck but it tends to be like this. If the console powers off when it's about to...

Just my 2 cents on this. In my own experience GT6 is the game I find roots out most issues with PS3 consoles rather quickly. I usually run it for an hour as I have had machines fail even at like the 55 minute mark so I find an hour minimum is best. I usually use the first proper race you are...

Haha it certainly can be a path to the darkside but if it gets the job done roughly on par as the more expensive stuff I will take that any day of the week. Had the same stuff in my own personal system for just over a year and it's holding up perfectly fine. Though one thing I am curious about...

The thermal paste is really nothing special, it's called GD900 ( for both IHS and die ) from my own testing it is a fairly solid performer, maybe a little inconsistent with quality as some tubes will perform better than others but inline with most branded thermal pastes like MX-4 ( or better ) I...
