The console boots but has glod rsx must be cooked wich leads me to believe that it needs new rsx and reball but I'm no competitor or expert
The voltaje is fine, you should put 4 per tokin on the RSX, 16 in total. On the CELL you can only put 8 from just one side. The RSX is the one that needs a lot of power, so that's why you need to replace all of them. After that it should boot, at least from what I saw with the ones I revived.
I did replace all 32 tantalum capacitors look closely at pictures, also controllers do not sink or charge they were working properly before the YLOD
My reply wasn't for you ^^
Oops, well read my mistaken reply
This was your reply to me?..............
The console just YLOD 3 DAYS ago,I replaced all tantalum, and the console boots fine but now GLOD and also controllers will not sink or charge. I found that kind of strange. Never had any problems with the controllers. The console was never opened before that. So not totally positive it's the rsx but I don't know?
So it does boot, but you can't sync the controllers nor have a picture, well thats GLOD alright, i had the same on a 7D Datacode 60Gb CECHC04 a year ago while playing NFS Underground 2, mind that this was before i made the thread, so I didn't replace nothing on it, i had two 60Gb back then, one that GLODed and another that is still working today, with the NEC to Tantalums replaced, the other GLOD as far as i can tell its the Substrate on the RSX that has bite the bullet, so i really preserve the RSX more than the CELL.
Then you damaged the RSX, or something happened to it. Clean it and see if you didn't break or hit one of the sides of it. Even small deformations will leave you without image. In my case, when I damaged mine, the RSX went on short, and it's easy to see 'cause a few capacitors from one side were all in short, and the PS3 obviously gave me a short circuit light type.
There is no damage to RSX, I think it's cooked as @Naked_Snake1995 said GLOD, but I can't completely sure without testing the RSX, the console was on 24/7 and always playing GT 6 . Because I love the game. I have many other consoles. Just didn't want to give up on it I may put new RSX on but I think I will try this fix on my CECHA01 AND CECHB01 consoles next .
What can i say, another successful console brought from the dead, outstanding job lad [emoji106]View attachment 23660 View attachment 23657 View attachment 23658
The console has booted successfully!!!!!!!!, a small piece of wire was stuck on the motherboard I could barely see it must of fell of wire cutters dam! So glad I double checked like @ElGris said! Now everything is cool even my temps are cooler! Yeah it lives!
What is the model of that PS3 dude ? my CECHA01 , my CECHE01 and my CECHL01 i did the replacement are working like a charm since that. Only replacing the necs on top of the board did the trick without using any wire or something like that because i leaved the necs under the board like a 50/50 tantalums/necs. (i used black tape to isolate the tantalums). Im trying to search for a YLOD CECHB01 but damn its hard as hell to find one of these PS3's.View attachment 23660 View attachment 23657 View attachment 23658

That seems to be a CECHA/C or E model because it has the chromed trim, B models are hard to find even in the americas those models are ultra rare and hard to find one working properly sadly :/
