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

[Hasan Ahmed]

Hi everyone
I have ps3 board kte-001 has errors A0404441 And A0403034
I reballed the cell/be the same thing.
Is it the problem with the rsx?

 

[Ganjo]

Its the RSX

According to the error code information, error 3034 is related to the RSX.
It's explained that a "pressure test" could be performed under the chip to check if the console turns on
by applying pressure (although I don't know how this could be done without applying too much force with
something that remains stable while the console turns on).

Since this is the first model of the console, it's most likely a solder problem and requires a reflow or reballing, I don't know.

There's no information about error 4421, it appears to be related to the Cell or the RSX.

If a reflow would work enough time to back up the hard drive, that would be enough for me, but I don't know
if this works for those two errors.

Best regards.

It's explained that a "pressure test" could be performed under the chip to check if the console turns on
by applying pressure (although I don't know how this could be done without applying too much force with
something that remains stable while the console turns on).

Since this is the first model of the console, it's most likely a solder problem and requires a reflow or reballing, I don't know.

There's no information about error 4421, it appears to be related to the Cell or the RSX.

If a reflow would work enough time to back up the hard drive, that would be enough for me, but I don't know
if this works for those two errors.

Best regards.

do you find if was RSX DEAD or CPU ?

According to the error code information, error 3034 is related to the RSX.
It's explained that a "pressure test" could be performed under the chip to check if the console turns on
by applying pressure (although I don't know how this could be done without applying too much force with
something that remains stable while the console turns on).

Since this is the first model of the console, it's most likely a solder problem and requires a reflow or reballing, I don't know.

There's no information about error 4421, it appears to be related to the Cell or the RSX.

If a reflow would work enough time to back up the hard drive, that would be enough for me, but I don't know
if this works for those two errors.

Best regards.

Those codes mean its the RSX. A reflow might work to get you drive backed up

Those codes mean its the RSX. A reflow might work to get you drive backed up

Thank you, that's what I was thinking, I'll try and see if I have any luck.

Best regards.

ok nice at least is RSX if was Cell is more complicated to repair funny is the same error of El Patas what means is the same defect LOL and the same Motherboard

@Fanhais, just to say that I did a reflow to the RSX and it worked, I turned it off and now I will prepare everything to make a backup of the hard drive, I hope that when I do it it lasts long enough.

Best regards.

Hello guys, I harvested a 40-nm rsx from slim MB, some measurements look a bit low to me, can anyone confirm if this RSX is okay? Want to install it onto COK-001 board

Sorry I don't know how to hide image under a spolier, if moderator sees this - please do)

Anyways, I installed it. At first it had instant YLOD, but turns out for CXD5300CGB you need a EB command, not EC. Also somehow 10 kOhm resistor from that console MB was 6.1 kOhm, I didn't check resistor's value when moved it, and when soldered to a R2054 pad i had a GLOD. I harvested proper 10 kOhm resistor from SEM-001 donor board and console actually started
I hope my measurements and overall experience helps someone

 

[philhalo66]

Originally, the GPU was not passing BitTraining. A calibration procedure that must complete for the system to properly communicate with it. The usualy reason is the soldering connection between the Die and the MB, which passes through 2 solder layers. The bumps and the ball grid array (BGA). Either one can cause those errors. The 90nm RSX (GPU) in your unit is know to have defective materials making the bumps prone to premature failures. And when you heated the console above the 70C Thermal glassification temperature of the underfill that supports the bumps it softened alowing the solder joints to make a microscopic shift in position and reconnect the break. Like touching 2 wires together.

It's not strong and when the strain of that heat dissipates over use and with thermal cycles, it'll fail again. It appears your codes also show CPU voltage regulation failures as well, which usually indicate the NEC/Tokins proadlizers are failing. In this case, I would focus on the GPU issue 1st and then asses the VRM afterwards. The impeedance equation will change after the GPU's connections are restores and the ripple/noise may lesson to the point the tokins are not bad. But TBH, it's likely the tokins are also going bad. I would use an oscilloscope to see, or just replace them cuz they looked at you cross.

Just curious. COK14 is a COK-001, but was this and A or B model?

yeah so over a year later reply because i forgot about this ps3 xD. No clue if you're still around here or not but the system is an A01 launch model with very low hours actually, i think like 30 days max iirc. i dont have the skills or tools to test further. i used a heatgun once and it worked for a few days then it puked out these codes. tbh its been sitting in my closet since i made this post. frankie mod services are actually reasonable now and im considering having it done especially since your tantilizers mod is really commonplace now. so i checked back here to confirm the codes again.

I am getting A0213013 on DIA-001. There were more errors originally. What are the necessary prerequisites for the CELL BE to respond on the SPI bus to the SysCon? On DIA-001, 1.2V_MC2_VDDIO and 1.2V_BE_VCS are both available and the syscon does send /CS, clk and data to the BE, but there is no return data from the BE - BE_SPI_DI keeps high. BE_RESET goes correctly high too. Are any clocks or other supply voltages necessary for the BE to reply on the SPI bus?

Initial errors list (now, it is full of only A0213013):

It turned-out this was due to partially-desoldered/lifted CELL BE. So until it is soldered right (if it at all still works and the PCB and substrate are ok) I won't know more about what was wrong with this PS3.


But I have another PS3 to ask about:
SEM-001 - it was originally stopping at 1200 syscon error due to fast overheating CELL BE, but after a delid it does start and reach constant green LED but there is no video. Enabling the syscon internal mode and the additional logs in SB UART, I get this on syscon:

It seems to stay in the above state for a long time. I don't have a well-cooled enough heatsink to let it run more than 30-50 sec, to see if it will display anything else. I could use the original heatsinks and fan if necessary. The above displays with or without its HDD. The optical drive is not connected. The wireless/bluetooth board is also not connected.

Also the RB4002 SW_PCI from SYSCON stays always low. I don't know if this is normal.

[A Chinese Man]

Bought a refurbished CECHA00 with 40nm RSX in decent price.
It has one problem though, when I turn it off, it beep 3 times and give me A0901001, only when I turn it off, the baby hasn't shut down by itself yet.

should I be worried of it and send the console back to seller who offer paid service, ask him to change capacitor of Cell? Seller said he had swapped all the NEC TOKIN with tantilizers but I haven't been able to open the console to confirm it by myself.

Here's the latest error log, it used to come with A0802120*10. BTW is there a way to correct the timestamp?

[LSL]

Hello guys, I harvested a 40-nm rsx from slim MB, some measurements look a bit low to me, can anyone confirm if this RSX is okay? Want to install it onto COK-001 board
View attachment 45936
Sorry I don't know how to hide image under a spolier, if moderator sees this - please do)

In my notes I only have the 90nm one and the difference was:
+1.2v_YC_RC_VDDIO: between 12.8 Ohm and 13.1 Ohm
+1.5v_RSX_VDDIO: between 43.2 Ohm and 44.9 Ohm
+1.8V_RSX_PLL_VDD: between 4.0K and 4.7k ohm
+1.8V_RSX_FBVDDQ: between 87.6 Ohm and 114.8 Ohm
Wouldn't +1.5V_RSX_RC_VDDA be the +1.5V_YC_RC_VDDA? If so, here it gave 4.3 Ohm
* all measurements were made with the RSX (90nm) soldered on the board (Cok-001/002)

I tried swapping the RSX on a VER-001 to the 40nm one but I'm getting errors 3034 and 4002. I've already patched the SYSCON with both the EB and EC commands, but still no luck. Do you guys have any ideas?

Hello, I successfully replaced the caps of my phat model, and after a few seconds of turning it on, it turns off because of overheating. I don't think it's the CPU/GPU, since it is just really really quick. If I stick my PS3 to the AC, it takes longer to die, so I suspect it might have something to do with me missing a couple thermal pads on some components. I havent yet disassembled the console to check the new syscon errors, but if anyone happens to have a guide or chart or anything about where I should place new pads (and which size they should be), I'd really appreciate it

AFAIK the temp sensors are in CPU and GPU. You can check via syscon.

If it wasn't doing that before, check your assembly. You put thermal paste on the IHS right? When you remove the heatsink, check if the paste spread properly.

It could also be the paste UNDER the IHS, I had one myself, it would overheat within 2-3 seconds. If that is the case, you have to de-lid.

Before it turns off does the fan goes turbo mode?
A couple of thermal pads usually won't overheat that quickly. Those are on the buck converter ICs and/or inductors. Unless you haven't properly repaste the heatsink or forget to install the bracket.
If your AC can allow the PS3 run a significant longer time, install CFW and check the syscon error code there.

Did you delid the CELL?

Hi, I just got a new console after my beloved PS3 Fat died, I got another similar one... but after a week of trying games, the aforementioned yellow light came back on, but these are the first signs (it still works for hours). The problem usually occurs with PS2 games in ISO mode...
PS3 FAT 80Gb
CFW EVILNAT 4.92
Also to add... some PS3 games have audio glitches and lag (God of War III)
