It was indeed the GL3520 the faulty or the issue in this case. After getting the PS4 from my friend, did a few testing and all looked/tested ok besides the output from the USB 3.0 IC. Sometimes it can be misleading, i mean, the IC can be ok but the SB (or other component) will be bad or going...

Thank you. I thought it could be, but didn't know for sure. Because, so far, only found that problem being from any thermistor, a bad usb ic or the southbridge. But we never know, can be other component. Will search for those schematics, but never found any in the past when i needed :) Once...

Hello. A friend has a problem with his USB ports, no power or no sync. They are dead. So i wrote him to test some components around the usb circuit to check if the fuses or therm. were ok and not shorted. I don't have a sab-001 motherboard to test them right now to compare, but the only thing...

My friend has one also. Maybe same problem. His doesn't have any activity on the USB. No sync or power. Can be the usb ic controller (GL3520) in his case or the SB or any failed component. His mobo is a SAB-001 (CUH-1116A model). In his case, he got some power cuts at his house, so maybe...

Ok, i suppose...! But why the patch works? Asked you some post above without a answer :) Bet the mods he's asking about if will be deleted, are for MP and that doesn't matter if the game is ISO or folder!

@Xx_Tawwqeerr_xX Most black screen while on DEX (for plenty games) can be fixed by changing on DEBUG SETTINGS the BOOT MODE to RELEASE MODE (no need to patch to 4.21+). But i dunno if your black screen is after disabling the cfw (in this case, create a ISO backup, simple), if not, try using...

Don't want to "feed" the off topic, but just a quick thing, wanna ask @Cypher_CG89 why the patch for 4.21 fixes the black screen on BO2? I don't recall if i had black screen, but i did backup almost all the cod games back in the day to ISO format because of some issues when disabling the cfw...

@Xx_Tawwqeerr_xX you are being vague about your problem, after reading all those posts. But, you don't need to patch the game so it will work. You only need to patch if you are on a lower firmware version, at least, was what i always did (it's been a long time since i don't patch for lower...

@Xx_Tawwqeerr_xX using some modded eboot? Maybe you need a DEX eboot? I really don't know. Maybe cobra not enable. BO2 to play online you need this (when you disable cfw syscalls (webman or psnpatch) it will black screen sometimes when you start the game): - ISO backup (most cod games needed to...

I had a console on 4.75 DEX till some time ago. But with the latest plataforms updates from $ony dex under 4.82 couldn't log anymore into PSN without a spoof. It gave you errors at the begining (when they started to change/update things (maybe certs) on their plataform) when you tried to create...

@Xx_Tawwqeerr_xX that messages usually pops for DEX users. I did had a issue with a game (think it was BF4 or other...don't recall right now) that time to time it pop up and i had to turn off the system or the system power off and on start it shows that message. Like it happened to that game i...

@Coldheart2236 CECH "doesn't" mean nothing (well, the lettters at least). Let's say it's their internal reference to a model of a product. Like SCPH was for PS1/PS2 models, PCH for the vita and CUH for PS4 (despite the PSP was just PSP and the revision model in front like 1000 series and so on)...

Yes. But if you want to test, you don't need to solder on the 4 tokins. Again, 2 on each tokin (like i wrote, start with the RSX side ones the right ones on that pic., and you can just start with only the righ most one and go from there). This test will let you know if the tokins are the poblem...

Ups...can only edit the post for 20 minutes. Didn't know that. So if this one can be merged, so it won't look like a spam, or if it's ok, can be like it is. :) Just wanted to add that you can solder 2 tantalums to a tokin (start with the ones on RSX side and solder a tantalum on each end you can...

@SeanRanklin i meant that before i assume that a fat ps3 YLOD problem (or like you are having) is only because a failing (or the solder) RSX or CPU i do some tests. I measure components around the RSX/CPU for resistance if all ok i then solder 2 tantalums to a nec tokin (i start always with RSX...
