That's a lot of amazing information actually. Two or three years ago, I stored my PS3 Slim in a protective box to shield it from moisture and other potential issues, initially thinking that the problem was a faulty PSU. However, while investigating and checking everything yesterday, I discovered that the actual issue was the YLOD. I proceeded to disassemble the console, cleaned it, and applied new thermal paste. Upon powering it on, it failed again, but on the third attempt, it miraculously worked. I was thrilled, but then encountered an OS problem. Today, as I was planning to reinstall the OS, I faced another setback as the console failed to turn on. After watching your video and considering my limited skills in soldering and electronics, I've come to the realization that this is a problem I cannot fix. I will try to search for someone like you in my country that maybe can fix it but it's a job that requires a lot of care and affection, so it will likely stay in the moisture-proof box as a relic. Thanks for making this video and share all that!!!!!!!

Ylod could be caused by some of the power supply in the motherboard (dc to dc converters) could be caused by cracked gpu joints balls could be caused by nec tokins lost capacitance and much others causes so is good to see you used your syscom to realize what is the problem .

Then put it all back together to my dismay got a GLOD. I then took it apart again to try to figure out if I missed something and now it only YLOD. I have a 3.3V TTL board on order and will connect to the PS3 which is YLODing to figure out what the SYSCON data reports. I don't know how cleaning the CECHK01 carefully caused the end result of GLOD and then now it only YLOD's. Subbing as well

Sorry for the late reply. When you take the PS3 apartment, was your heat sink sticking tightly to the CPU and GPU? In the process of pulling the heat sink up like this, you might also break a few solder joints under the GPU. But the GPU was still connecting well enough to get pass the boot up process. When you do the second tear down, you pull up the heat sink again and break a few more solder joints. This time, the GPU disconnected enough that the PS3 cannot even finish the boot up process. This is exactly why people were complaining about the brittleness of the lead-free solder joints. But be mindful that it is *not* the only reason for YLOD. Another big problem is the bumpgate issue.

I rushed home and plugged it in, and it turned on I looked on the back and it was an ntsc model not pal because I'm from Italy so. This ps3 didn't have any dust and the seal was still on.

Lucky you man! I wish I could get a backward compatible model for 5 bucks only! If you installed CFW, you can use webMAN MOD to check the statistics such as how long has this console been use.

I hope that you could figure out the story behind your PS3, I would love to listen to it!

I'm holding onto my OG 60GB for the day someone can figure this out and repair it. Seeing this gives me hope.

I'm glad I held on to the dead launch model PS3 I bought at a flea market.

Nice. I should point out though that the original backwards compatible PS3 do have a design flaw with the solder balls and binding agent inside the chip which eventually cracks. Hence the request of many to replace the RSX as a preventative measure going forward.

My 65nm Slim model also had this. It wouldn't turn on at all but I re-applied thermal paste and it came back to life partially because if I try to play any intensive game such as Red Dead Redemption or GoW 3, it would YLoD. I feel bad for putting it out of order because it was the first console I bought with my own money and gave me thousands of hours of playtime, but now I bought a super slim that works great.

Thanks for a good video. If rsx is problem and need a reflow i find it best to delid them and use tin foil and when you delid use a very small amount of cooking oil to lubricate the tool and it will slide under the heat sink to cut adhesive and make sure to wash out gpu with ipa before heating as gpu can be contaminated underneath. The balls need to be clean to spread when you heat up to reflow or remove. I noticed my gpu was stuck down with old contaminates and when I cleaned with ipa the other gpu came off easier. Good luck with your rework station.

Usually the only real fix for this to prevent it in the long term (for 3034 at least) is to replace the component that is broken (most likely RSX on early phats with 90nm RSXs, otherwise if it has a 65nm and YLODs, its most likely the NEC TOKINs genuinely dying) There are shops in the US, parts of Europe, and some other countries I believe that offer a service referred to as Frankenstein PS3s where you can send a dead PS3 for repair and if its the RSX they can replace it with a fixed, more reliable model from later models.

It seems like the RSX chip is dead, which is so unfortunate. We couldn't tell if it is the bumpgate or the BGA problem from the error log. But given that you have a 65nm RSX, I would say it is more likely to be a BGA problem. If you are comformtable with reballing, I would recommand you to do reball instead. Otherwise, you can try reflowing it. Replacing the capacitors won't help in your case.

Oh, I saw your comments on the Google Form just now. This problem happens only after tearing down your PS3? Do you remember if you had a hard time trying to remove the heat sink from the CPU and GPU?

It might work with a simple reflow, but I would suggest you to do a reball.

I'm glad people are realising that the YLOD indicates a _general_ failure instead of something easily diagnosable (like jumping to conclusions and saying it's the capacitors or the ball grid array).

Hello, ive got an backwards compatible ps3 in working state, ive got the syscon error log from ps3toolset, it has multiple 1001 errros, after cleaning the console (not deliding) and speding some time on power on, the console suddenly after normal shut off, didnt even goes to stand by mode (red light). after changing 2 power cords, the light pop in! Booting the console and got YLOD! after several times of turning off and on, i dissebly it again, and reassebly, the console boot up!!! Ive check again the syson and i got 3003 error! The console working normally without ylod (again). till i get it to local electronic store to change the NEC TOKIN Capacitors. Could the problem be those NEC TOKIN?

The combination of 3003 and 1001 makes it very likely to be the NEC TOKIN near the CELL processor. Replacing the NEC TOKIN should be able to fix your console.

Yo bro could you please try to fix my PS3? It doesn't work: I turn it on, then it gives a flashing red light, beeps 3 times and then dies

I kinda would change all of the parts at this point. If your paranoid. It'll fix all of the problems. Seriously it's the reason why I won't get a PS3. I'll just stick to emulator

Unfortunately this is way to complex for me to fix mine.

Can you help me to get syscon and uart
