PS3 Stuck between internal and external commands using PS3 UART python script

[Arapahoe High School]

I am trying to resurrect a YLOD CECHE01 using [this](https://gbatemp.net/threads/ps3-uart-control-ylod-error-finding-tutorial.582605/) guide, which references [this](https://github.com/db260179/ps3syscon/blob/master/PS3-Uart-Guide.pdf) guide.


I was able to use external commands to change the eep table, but upon connecting the diagnose probe cable from mobo to ground and running the internal command script (python ps3_syscon_uart_script.py /dev/ttyusb0 CXRF) I get errors and am reverted back to command line. (See image)


If I use the external command script that worked previously I can get >$ but am unable to authorize, get error logs or anything.


So it seems I am stuck between internal and external commands after changing the eep value. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

I had not directed the script to a COM port and was able to log in and get the error codes. Has anyone seen these before and know where to start? I was going to try replacing one NEC/Tokin capacitor for both the RSX and CELL and go from there. Any help is appreciated.

On a different board VER-001 I am getting this error

The external commands change a flag so you can enter internal also you need to use the cxrf script not the cxr script using the same python script will not allow you to enter internal as they use different baud rates etc.

are you using the cxrf script when you go internal?

Use the cxr script and post your eep

eepget 3961

should be 01 00

if that is correct when you press power on your console it should beep and stay red but not start the fan.

use the cxrf script and the command in the guide to get into internal type auth and or scopen (sometimes I had to type scopen before auth would work) also wait a couple seconds before typing auth and or type it a few times

after it works

[mullion]>$ should show you are in internal then you have to do eepcsum step and fix that
