Very educational, as others already said .. First time i am seeing error retrieval, similar to SYSCON method on the PS3s .. I hope the community comes up with methods for the APU & those ICs U mentioned on a comment to be remarried succesfully .. Lots & lots of PS3s and PS4s would have been saved, if it weren't for Sony's idiotic obsession for "pseudo" security on their consoles ... Cheers

Every single Playstation I've ever owned is dead. Last one I got was a PS4 Pro, haven't used it in months and when I tried turning it on the other day it does the same thing as this one in the video.

If you know you have a short on a supply, you can inject voltage and see what gets hot with a small amount of alcohol. You need to know what voltage would normally be there so you don't inject too much. You should probably start with 1V from your power supply. Be very careful how much voltage you inject.
