I bought 4 broken YLOD PS3s to see if I can fix them (part 1)

Great video and explanations. However I must emphasize that the the 1001 error DOES NOT automatically indicate an issue with the NecTokins. You risk creating another myth this way... These errors can happen from improper shutdown. Sometimes even from force quitting out of a game. So the first two consoles didn't necessarily need the tokins swapped... The third one definitely didn't have bad tokins on the Cell side. The fewer the 1001s , the less likely Cell's tokins are at fault. But even abundance of 1001s may not always mean they are bad, since we don't know how the console was used. Also keep in mind the timestamps of the errors are not always accurate either.

You typically don’t need to reball the main problem with these ps3’s is the faulty underfill they use which means you have to swap it with a 40 nm rsx

The nectokins arent the problem. Most of the problems come from bad solderjoints at the cpu or graphicschip

Thank you Sir.

Wow!

maybe u fix it for week or more but the main problem is the gpu ! u know hot and cold its break inside the die on gpu as old times nvidia recal so many gpu on ps3

Great video very useful
By the way what CAP did you use?
Thank you

First summer job at 15 was surface mount soldering Nortel telecommunication boards. I dunno why anybody would put this much time on fixing a fat PS3. Put the console in the microwave for a few minutes. Works every time. ;) Oh and forgot. Chuck that thing into a dumpster afterward and buy a functioning PS3 at a pawn shop for like $50.

OR you could buy a 200 usd infrared camera and look who is acr abnormal.
OR check each with oscilloscope or multimeter.

People make the screw sound intimidating. It’s a Torx T8 or T10 security screw. They come in most repair kits, Ex: iFixit, but Walmart sells a cheaper one. It’s not normal Torx, it’s a security screw. They’re really easy to come across is what I’m saying

You need to learn how to solder better and there is a raiser way and cleaner way to temovr then using a inferred table

Love it

My Brain CPU is Jammed when watching this repair step......

Hello, why u put 6 capacitors instead of 4 like everyone else?
Does it make a difference, im very interested why you do it 🙂

PS3 root cause is the GPU not caps, not rebelling, not some other nonsense. Swap the GPU from a slim that will have the new generation just past the original release. Look up a vid on replacing the GPU to get old PS3 that could play PS2 games

Get yourself a scope and check voltages on NEC/Tokins before just hacking the console away. Most likely the fixed console will die in couple of thermal cycles.

That is freaking nuts dood.

I suggest getting Chemtronics Chem-Wik wicks if you haven't because I had wicks similar to what you use and they'd always unbraid and the rosin would burn real bad. Makes it way less annoying and cleans up nicely!

Um belo console fabricado com peças com baixa qualidade !

None of them will work, the problem is the balls under the silicon gpu who is glued in the centre of ram s

where to buy a TTL?

There is no point of fixing backwards compatible Ps3 anymore because now you can mod ps3’s to play PS2 games

PS3 FAT is shity console

demm, i thought only #3 and #4 are easy to fix with only tantalums since they initially had longer green to ylod time. guess I'm wrong. yeah, reballing job is PITA

Mesti di daulat ps factory sony cuy jadi ada pengganti hard ware yg clip on and easy relese tinggal lepas ganti chip sendiri langsing normal lagi.ini lebih rapih dan efektif ke sumber masalah

Awesome. I'm trying to fix my PS3 with there ylod.. I want first to disassemble it.. then get the correct caps to make the swap. But.. you said only one side of the board need replacement?? I have also seen some guys use 4 caps instead 6. I guess that's is causes you achieve the correct uf with 3 each side??.. if I get the exact cap u are using I will go for 6 like you!!. Also any ideas on how to remove the tokins with out a heat gun?

Hello, what trainings are needed to start repairing like you?

I need to communicate with you please

Can you help me,error 8002f147

Where can I buy a controller like yours?

Where can I buy a controller like yours?

Hi. How can i do the syscom diagn.? What do i need to start? Thanks

why they call then tokens

Subscribed and liked. Amazing skills to determine the fault and take correct decision for a repair. Love it.

Is fake with nektoken

My ps3 show yellow after 40 second

Thanks man good video

Incredible soldering skill! I guess having good quality equipment makes the difference but you should see mine...

Can you help me to get syscon and uart

تكنولوجيا حديثة جدا جدا جدا 👍💕💕💕

great video! I have a quick question, you didn't jumper the capacitors, wouldn't that be necessary?

Great video

Where Can I buy syscon reader?

Hi. Where's to buy this diagnostic tool? I meen Syscon READER.

The heat might fixed it. If you wanna mask this parameter, you could rip the capacitors and solder wires with low melting solder, connected to capacitor array board.

put flux on the copper braid

Or do I buy the knife that you're using to pick the tokenship apart

That all black one, SUPER RARE! Love it.

Should I actually replace the GPU? Mine is 65nm so I maybe should replace the capacitor which probably should word flawlessly right? My PS3 is cechj04

From where we can buy such used electronics equipments in Germany
