Great tutorial, going to test on a 3 bips blinking red light CECHK01 here. Just one question: at 11:39, in the screen the command reads EEPSUM, but on the app screen you typed EEPCSUM. Is it a typo, or both commands work the same, or just the one you typed (EEPCSUM) is the right one? Thanks!

Is it possible to change IDPS from SYSCON? without jailbreak, webman etc.

If you dont get a red or yellow light, can you still use SYSCON to diagnose? I have a BC Fat that doesnt boot, but also doesnt red or yellow light either. Stays green, just never boots with screen artifacts and TV knows something is plugged in. Thank you!

Should be able to yes, the console has power and sounds like it’s hanging on GPU startup For this I suggest getting the log, then run bring up command (you may want to use the command line version of the tool for bring up )

I believe the GUI has a character limit and commands like bringup won't give you the full read-out. Given that this is one of the more useful commands it makes the current GUI not awesome in some regards.

@Slot1Gamer

It seems to bring up the error log fine which has a large character count You can scroll inside the response window Error log is probably the main reason people will use this anyway

@ripfelix3020

Nice work. A few things. There is more information about the bringup string that doesnt show when the Power On Sequence reaches a certain point, namely the bittraining and bootloader string. Both of which require you the hit enter a second time to display the rest of the log. IIRC the GUI didn't display it. It adds a layer between you and the uart script that can also mess up commands, which is why I didn't include it in my tutorial. I also wouldn't have told them to enable internal access on mullion as a default. Changing a byte is a step people can and do mess up. And if they accidentally change the wrong address it can be hard to fix. So I would have liked to see you first tell them the external commands they can use before adding that they could proceed to internal if they are adventurous. The errorcode section probably should just link them to the dev wiki where explantions can benifit from improvments over time. I dont want to comment io the accuracy of the code explanations you offered, but they can be misinterpreted easily and the step numbers are missing. And extreemly important. This is a habbit I've been trying to get people to break. The last four digits are not the whole picture. We NEED the step # also. It can litterally be the difference between a fuse that blew or a dead GPU. When an error occurs is very importnant to know. Relatively minor things tho. All in all. I liked it!

@Slot1Gamer

8 ай бұрын

Hello, I see very useful information thank you, I’ll add it into the description ❤️ Regarding the byte change, I feel (maybe I’m wrong) the risk is about the same or less than any kind of repair that will be attempted anyway A messed up syscon could possibly be fixed but a chipped die from a messed up de-lid not so much. 🙂 If I can add some text overlay to the existing video explaining external commands I will or a pinned comment. Yep still got to finish the description and all that , adding the syscon git and dev wiki today haha Thanks for watching and the tips :)

the console can be turned on with the UART controller connected? my console is bricked in recovery mode, doesn t recognize usb either. That's happened after i tried to install cfw. 1. i cleaned up the console and drilled some holes in case for a better air flow (ps3 CECHG04) but i lifted up the disc drive destroying the flex cable grip from the MB. 2.Then i started to dump syscon with an web tool, all good until i had trying to install "EvilNat 4.90.1 CFW " . I didn't know that the console checks the disk drive while updating the firmware 3.Console entered into a boot loop which every time finished with an error, so i cut out the power supply. When the console turn on again in Recovery mode, all usb fat32 formated with ps3 update on it becomes unrecognizable. it can't rebuilt databases or format HDD.

The worst console ever made. Sony just needs to make this up to customers and make a complete backwards compatible console finally so we won't have to buy 10 PS3s just to have 1 fully functional one.

And then they put out the 80gb fat PS3 with Metal Gear Solid 2 and backwards compatible. I was first in line for it and excited to have it.
