PS3 Fault finding YLOD with the SYSCON - First steps and Error reporting

I have another programmer which is to expensive for this area tnm5000, is getting obsolete as well but still good for Windows 10.
Anyway focus on E3 with linker and Windows 7. You have this nor model=ver001.
On that teensy should work if you fallow schematic and understand to separate 5v from 3v3. Not only from those pads but somewhere near ic they still have 5v line short with 3v3. Just check between 5v and 3v3 pad now and see if there is any short even if pad is cutted.
Oh by the way if flash is corrupted won't see any SB log. It will stay open but SB won't show nothing in putty.
Did few tests, there was only one case here when I've seen in forum wrong flash.
It will stop after PS4 ok then that 00000000 ok nothing more. No further message with "sb debugging connected".

Okay, what do you suggest I do now? I don't want to pull off rsx and reball yet, it's a bit risky. Again thank you for all your help.
 
All depends on you now, it is your opinion to go further or follow any other users advice.
As last simple test we all know nand/nor corruption is like glod without any video or sync controller . You can insert his hdd and connect controller, with cable sync should stay paired with first position red led on. In same time follow on screen SB log from putty and post as example. I have one kte001 that I'll record and refer here on forum as working example with and without hdd on parallel pc log în putty. From my point of view you are quite out of opinions, again I neither don't like to "jump reball all " as most people say about me in the world but not because I like, because it is working fine with that. Well at least worked well until I've found this special glod condition which is good signs of obsolete ps3 /not maintained on time units started to kill rsx in this unknown way.

Hello, not sure exactly how but having controller connected by USB i get this different result in SB uart(hdd attached before supplying power to console)

By the way I don't say that you're a "jump reball all" guy, I have a T890 and never used it on a PS3 Cell/RSX that's why I'm delaying it as to not damage it myself.
 
Is it controller led 1 always open or it is blinking if you push PS (home button to controller)?
Not worth reball with lower power rework station. You will need at least 2000 watts power on bottom and 400 watts on top won't make any difference if is ir or hot air for top . Rather let someone else to handle.
You can follow few Felix advice about how to set this thermal profile. He posted some of his setup.

After SB uart loads up to "Safe mode", controller is charging then if I press ps button led 1 solid.
 
In my opinion rsx faulty, wait more advices . I really don't know what else to suggest.
Okay then, waiting for advice, I'll attemp the rsx reball you suggest if nothing else comes up, just thought to let you know I just dumped the nor and it passed all 137 checks in Swizzly's dump checker

Any idea where I should start?
Fuse 6301? 12 v line test for short/missing ? Hdmi area or short power for ic/dead ic. What errors were before attempting to fix this?
Also you have to log onto CXRF and clear errlog, run bringup up with unit semiassblbed and then post again errlog after power on.
Remember if rsx is not working should come first thing 3034 error and something 44xx.bad setup of modchip rsx always 4002.

PS3 #12 - GLOD E01

Initial SYSCON reading = becount shows over 512 days of use, 12,291 Hours of uptime, with over 1000 sessions that weren't logged. This is one of the most used consoles I have ever seen. Errorlog shows the console had experienced a YLOD (BGA/bump = 3034/4412) defect previously. I'm guessing the console was reflowed or reballed professionally, because now it has a GLOD.

The CPU was overheating quickly, withing a few minutes of turning on. I delidded and it's nice and cool now, but I can't get any video via HDMI or Analog. I did replace the HDD and attempt to place the console in recovery mode. I checked with AV cable on my CRT and HDMI on my HDTV. Couldn't get any recovery options to appear on screen. So GLOD isn't related to the HDD not being setup. hdmi vbs shows the HDMI transmitter isn't being set. @SkaziChris had that issue. I haven't attempted probing around it yet, other than to confirm that thermal fuses are reading 2 ohms (fine). I could try replacing the HDMI transmitter, but I doubt that's it.

>$ shutdown
I ohm tested the main voltage lines around the CPU/RSX...
MB_Ohm_Test_points.jpg
***EDIT: I accidentally placed the measurments from PS3 #13 into the folder for PS3 #12. If you look closely You'll see that the above MB is a COK-001, not the COK-002 this E01 has...Whoops! I aparently didn't didn't record the measurments for this Motherboard...Dang it!"

Nothing looks dead. RSX_VDDIO is the one I'm worried about. 2120 errors in the log indicate and issue with the AV backend, which communicates along VDDIO. So that's where my mind goes first. I suspect a BGA/bump failure under that corner. I tried a pressure test but it's still not setting up according to hdmi vbs command. I don't have HDD connect tho, not sure if that would matter?

I did get some new codes while pressing on the chip though...

Any idea where I should start?
Yes. Here's everyone in my spreadsheet with that 2102 error. You can readup on their symptoms and maybey it'll help you find a path forward.

@LSL on page 4 and again on page 80
@Kostasigr7 on page 36
@TimeWalker75a on page 50
@johs854 on page 83
@ps06 on page 91
@N3Star on page 97
@poot36 on page 99
@amxcs on page105

SSM state:

202 -> 103
  • 2 steps (23 & 30)
    • 23 2102 = Fatal RSX Error (IC2001)
    • Must be some kind of RSX initilization/checks
@TimeWalker75a on page 50 example may be helpful...
As for the latter 2102, quickly swapped IC6301 from another board.
IC6301 is a Dual channel Video amp that provides +1.7V_MISC for several DC/DC converters & +1.8V_FBVDDQ. He must have installed it improperly or destroyed a nearby SMD. There are several downstream fuses he could have blown to cause this error.

I didn't realize how much work was going into documenting all of this. I really wish I found this before the YLOD "fix" that's seemingly everywhere, including iFixit. Fortunately that didn't break my original system, though my foolishness certainly did.

I got a new system to try to fix, but I'm running into issues with getting AV output. I posted some details in another thread. I have syscon logs from before I got it booting and bringup logs from after my repairs. I didn't grab becount stats, but I can grab those when I next have time to dig into the console.

Someone definitely got into the console before me. The smaller screws holding the RF shield on were mismatched and stripped, the ones holding the hard drive bay to the board were missing, the longer screw holding the motherboard to the case near the PSU was gone, the thermal compound was partially(?) removed, and portions of the console were incorrectly assembled. Kinda weird seeing 2013 in the errlog as the last time an error was reported. I wonder what the person in before me was even doing?

I'm not 100% sure what fixed my issue. I reflowed the leads of the thermal monitors with some flux and a hand iron and replaced the Power/Eject board since I read on another thread that that fixed these errors for someone else. As you can see the error that happened during bringup was related to a power issue, I didn't have 12V hooked up. I was at home and I don't have as much room here as I do at my local makerspace to work.

Right now I'm not getting any video out on AV or HDMI except in safe mode. I can do some more testing, though the only analog video device I have at home is my TV and its composite input. I think the makerspace might have something with component. If anyone can give me some pointers they would be much appreciated.
 
I didn't realize how much work was going into documenting all of this. I really wish I found this before the YLOD "fix" that's seemingly everywhere, including iFixit. Fortunately that didn't break my original system, though my foolishness certainly did.

I got a new system to try to fix, but I'm running into issues with getting AV output. I posted some details in another thread. I have syscon logs from before I got it booting and bringup logs from after my repairs. I didn't grab becount stats, but I can grab those when I next have time to dig into the console.

Your CPU is overheating. Need to delid and test. 3001 is usually because you didn't have 12v prongs of PSU inserted when you tested. If you did, then bad PSU or fuse.
 
What's your suggestion nowadays for nand writing?

Hi @Kostaslgr7 ...i have 1 x spare (new) Teensy++ 2.0 if you want it, PM me if you are still wanting one.

Teensy++ 2.0.jpg

I purchased 4 x Teensy++ 2.0 (~2 years ago) ...they are great for reading / writing to PS3 NAND/NOR. I followed @littlebalup TEENSY2PS3 guide. You would also need to buy a few more items to make it all work, see / download the guide / tutorial below.

Also see TEENSY2PS3 thread on psx-place here:-
https://www.psx-place.com/threads/teensy2ps3-pcb-linker-teensy-2-0-ps3.1728/

This TEENSY2PS3 PCB above, i purchased on eBay, but you can get it made by a PCB fab.
Gerber Files:- http://www.mediafire.com/download/fd8zqt1aykfi58p/TEENSY2PS3_v1.01.zip

Also, you might need to buy a TSOP-48 to DIP-48 - IC Socket (see photo below) instead of the "360-Clip". So you can desolder the NAND from the board and place it into the TSOP-48 to DIP-48 socket. Because for me the "360-Clip" didn't work very well, i couldn't get good contact to the NAND while it's still on the PS3 board.

But if you still want a "360-Clip" / "Wii-Clip" this is where i got mine one from:-

I must have been unclear. The errlog I posted is from before I reflowed the thermal monitors and replaced the power/eject board. After I did that, I had the 12V prongs disconnected when I got that bringup log. Right now I'm at a GLOD state. I haven't grabbed a new syscon log since because I've been really busy.
