Hello! As the title says, after delidding the Cell processor and attempting to delid the RSX too only for it to unable to (I tried three times with the butterknife method, to no avail), I put the PS3 back together and hoping it still works afterward, but it doesn't anymore.
Now it turns off ~3 seconds after turning it on and I still haven't figured out why, as there wasn't much or any physical damage at all that happened while I was delidding it. Even after trying what fixed others' PS3s, one being holding the power button for 30 seconds while it was unplugged, the second being opening the power supply and adjusting the two small screws by 10 degrees counter-clockwise, and the third being inserting a disc into the optical drive to force the system to turn on via that way, but all of them has failed and I'm still having the same issue. Even after reflowing the Cell, RSX, and Southbridge with a heat gun and flux, it still keeps occuring.
Any ideas on what could be causing it?
