Very true!

Absolutely, @NSC-ModzDE! Repasting the CELL IHS thoroughly-including inside the IHS-is essential to prevent overheating and avoid recurring YLOD issues. Thanks for emphasizing that crucial step and for your valuable support!

@@idreestech You always welcome my friend :)

Jumping resistors should only be done when you're certain they are faulty and not functioning correctly. It's always best to replace them with proper value resistors instead of jumping them. For wire gauge, if you must use a jumper, try using thin enameled copper wire (around 30AWG) to minimize resistance differences. But again, replacing the resistor is the safer and more reliable solution. Let me know if you need more details! 😊

Yes, you can test the Ethernet chip with a multimeter, but the results will be limited compared to an oscilloscope. You can only test for shorts between power and ground on the chip. A direct short (beeping sound) may indicate a damaged chip. In this case, the actual issue was with the HDMI encoder chip.

@idreestech thanks for your response boss. It one of your trainee Nathan. Ur videos have been very helpful. You keep mentioning oscillation while checking the power rail coils, I don't understand the oscillation, I know you can check for voltage but in your videos you always check for oscillation. Pls can you enlighten me. Thanks sir

Thanks a lot, @Iraqitot3! I really appreciate your support-glad you enjoyed the video!

Thank you so much, sir! I'm really glad you found the video worth watching. Your support means a lot-keep on rocking! ❤

Thanks for watching!

You're welcome, @Iraqitot3! Glad I could help-thanks for your support!

Спасибо за полезное замечание, @Altai2000! Действительно, если на 5В есть стабильное напряжение, первым делом нужно проверить систему PFC - напряжение должно быть около 380В. Если меньше, проблема, скорее всего, именно в PFC. Это поможет избежать лишних исследований в других цепях. Отличное напоминание!

Hey @TheCroupier74, that's awesome progress for your first PS3 repair! Great job on diagnosing the EMI filters and realigning the disc drive. Ordering the MN8647091 sounds like a smart move-hope it does the trick. Best of luck with your repair journey, and thanks for sharing your experience. Keep it up!

Hi @Abdulla_ishaq, I prefer to keep my personal location private, but I'm happy to help with any repair questions or technical issues you have!

@idreestech your In Pakistan or India?

@idreestech and can i get my ps3 the same Day

وعليكم السلام، بالنسبة لترتيب توصيل أسلاك شريحة NOR عند استخدامها مع مبرمجة CH341a المُعدلة من 5 فولت إلى 3.3 فولت، فإن الترتيب الأساسي يكون كما يلي (مع العلم أن التوصيلات قد تختلف قليلاً حسب نوع الشريحة والمخطط الخاص بها): VCC (3.3V): قم بتوصيل خرج الجهد 3.3 فولت من المبرمجة إلى دبوس التغذية (VCC) في شريحة NOR. GND: تأكد من توصيل الأرضي (GND) في المبرمجة إلى دبوس الأرض في الشريحة. CLK (Clock): وصل خط الساعة (CLK) من المبرمجة إلى دبوس الساعة في الشريحة. DI (Data In): قم بتوصيل خط البيانات الداخل (DI) من المبرمجة إلى دبوس البيانات في الشريحة (أحياناً يُشار إليه بـ MOSI). DO (Data Out): قم بتوصيل خط البيانات الخارج (DO) من الشريحة إلى دبوس البيانات الخارجة في المبرمجة (قد يُشار إليه بـ MISO). WP (Write Protect) و CE (Chip Enable): تأكد من توصيل أسلاك التحكم مثل Write Protect (WP) و Chip Enable (CE) وفقاً للمخطط؛ عادةً ما يتم ربط WP مع VCC (إذا لم تكن ترغب في تفعيل الحماية) وCE يجب أن يكون مُفعلاً (عادةً عن طريق توصيله بـ GND أو 3.3V حسب توصيات الشريحة). أنصحك بمراجعة دليل أو مخطط شريحة NOR التي تستخدمها للتأكد من التوصيلات الدقيقة، حيث أن بعض الشاشات قد يكون لها ترتيب مختلف للأسلاك. إذا كان لديك أي استفسار إضافي، أنا هنا للمساعدة! 🎉

Make sure to clean the vents and give it proper ventilation to avoid overheating. Let it cool down completely before using it again!

Thanks, glad to be back! Appreciate the kind words!

Thanks, appreciate it!

Yep, I use the same profile for both CPU and GPU on the slim model. Works great for me!h CPU and GPU on the slim model. Works great for me!

It sounds like your Xbox 360 Slim might be experiencing a hardware or connection issue. Here are some steps to troubleshoot: Ensure the HDMI or AV cables are securely connected to both the Xbox and the TV. Try using a different HDMI or AV cable to rule out a faulty cable. Test the console on another TV or monitor to see if the issue is with the display. Boot the Xbox 360 into Low-Resolution Mode: Turn off the console. Hold the Eject button and press the Power button. Keep holding the Eject button until you hear two beeps. This resets the display settings to default. Remove the hard drive and try booting the console without it. If it works, the hard drive might be faulty. If the power light turns red or flashes, note the number of lights and check the error code online for specific issues. If the problem persists, it could be a failing GPU, motherboard, or power supply. In this case, professional repair or replacement might be necessary. If none of these steps work, consider reaching out to a repair service or Xbox support for further assistance. Good luck!

@@idreestech sir you are amazing mashallah

I'll try these solutions. And will respond accordingly

Yes 😊

Thanks for the feedback! I'll keep that in mind for future videos. Appreciate the support!

وعليكم السلام، إذا كان جهازك قد تم تحديثه إلى 11.52، فلن يكون بإمكانك الرجوع إلى إصدار أقدم بسهولة . ولكن يمكنك التحقق مما إذا كان لديك نسخة احتياطية من syscon قبل التحديث، حيث قد يكون هناك حلول متقدمة باستخدام الأجهزة المختصة مثل Teensy أو Raspberry Pi، ولكنها تحتاج إلى خبرة في التعامل مع الهاردوير. إذا كنت تفكر في تعديل الجهاز، فتأكد من متابعة الأخبار حول إمكانية كسر حماية الإصدارات الأحدث، فقد يتم إيجاد طريقة في المستقبل.

شكرا لك اخي لدي سؤال اخر املك جهاز ps4 slim اخر و حصلت لي مشكلة في disk drive لقد كان يعمل من قبل ايام و الان لا يعمل قمت بتغير fuse رقمه f6202 و اشتغل مره واحده لكن باليوم الثاني لم يعمل و قمت بفحصه و هو سليم لكن fuse الذي بجانبه لا يعمل مع انه كان سليم في المرة التي قمت بفحصه فيها ،لا اعلم ما المشكلة الان هل اذا قمت بتبديله سوف ينجح ام يوجد لدي مشكلة في مكان اخر هي ماتقوم بحرق fuse هل يمكنك مساعدتي او اذا رأيت مثل هذه المشكله و حللتها في مقاطعك سوف اكون شاكرا لك كثيرا

Thanks for the support! 👍🏼😊

I'll try!

Wa Alaikum Assalam, Julius. Since your PS3 is turning on but not displaying anything after the 4.91 update, try these steps: Turn off the PS3 completely (red light on). Hold the power button until you hear the second beep (around 5-10 seconds). This resets the video output settings. If possible, test another HDMI cable or use the AV cable to check if it's a display issue. If you suspect an HDD issue, try removing and reinserting the hard drive. A corrupted update might require reinstalling the firmware via Safe Mode. Boot into Safe Mode Turn off the PS3. Hold the power button until the console turns off again. Hold it again until you hear two beeps; release it on the second beep. Select "Rebuild Database" or "Restore File System" (this won’t delete games). If none of these steps work, let me know, and we can try more troubleshooting. Don't worry-you can fix it! 😊

For your PS2 Slim, if your 500GB hard drive is not working but your USB flash drive (pen drive) is, try these solutions: 1. Format the Hard Drive Properly Use FAT32 format (NTFS is not supported by Open PS2 Loader). Use a tool like "GUIFormat" to format the drive to FAT32 (Windows’ built-in formatter has a limit). 2. Check Open PS2 Loader (OPL) Compatibility Make sure you are using the latest version of OPL (Open PS2 Loader). OPL works best with external HDDs that have their own power source (Y-cable might help if using USB-powered drives). 3. Use a Different USB Port Try plugging the HDD into USB port 1 (some PS2 Slim models work better with specific ports). 4. Use the Right Folder Structure Inside the USB, create these folders: "CD" → For CD-based PS2 games. "DVD" → For DVD-based PS2 games. "ART" → For cover art. "CFG" → For configuration files. Place your games inside DVD or CD folder and rename them like this: Copy Edit SLUS_123.45.iso 5. Try a Different USB Device Some external HDDs are not fully compatible with the PS2's USB 1.1 speed. If FAT32 formatting and OPL updates don’t work, try using a different USB HDD. Let me know if you need more help! 😊

Hello @febriartz9788! Based on the details you provided about your PS3 Slim: 12V rail to ground at 4 ohms: This could indicate a partial short, which might be due to a faulty component on the 12V line. Normally, the resistance should be higher. Pin 4 at 18 ohms: If this is part of the gate control or power distribution circuitry, 18 ohms could suggest a possible issue with the component controlling the MOSFET. Possible Causes: Faulty MOSFET: The MOSFET responsible for supplying power to the Cell/BE (CPU) might be damaged or failing to switch properly. Shorted Capacitor: There might be a shorted capacitor on the 12V line. Check for any visibly damaged or color changed capacitors near the MOSFET or on the 12V rail. Faulty Gate Drive Circuit: If the gate of the MOSFET isn’t receiving proper voltage, the MOSFET won’t switch on. Check the components in the gate drive circuit. CPU (Cell/BE) Issues: If the CPU itself is drawing excessive current or has an internal short, it could explain the low resistance readings.

​@@idreestechbut in syscon code showing Error 3003 Cell Power Failure.

and gate mosfet without mosfet showing short to ground. is that indicate pwm failure ?​@@idreestech

if i open F6300 and F6304 the ohm goes up​@@idreestech

if i open fuse 6003 and 6034 the ohm of 12v is goes up.​@@idreestech

@nikkam3176, is the PS4 not booting itself now or it boots and need to install a firmware?

@@idreestech it does not boot. it shows secure loader build:.... (release_branches/release_11.500) and error. I did the mistake not to backup syscon before modding the nand. The strange thing is that wee-tools for nand dump shows fw (backup) 10.50-10.7.

Try patching the Syscon, and each time you need to rewrite the patched Syscon by applying the new NOR patch (among 13 patches), wishing you good luck!

@@idreestech is nand fw (backup) 10.50-10.7 100% true? if yes, it means im not on the backup slot yet.

Sure,Yes.

You're right! It's important to consider other factors like the RSX chip and the power supply.

You're very welcome! 🙏

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. 😊 Glad you enjoyed the video!

Thank you so much, Sergio! I really appreciate your kind words. 😊 I'm glad the video could showcase something new for you!

Hi @Acap0804, if your PS4 beeps and shuts off, it could be the power supply, but you're right to be cautious-it could also be the APU. I recommend testing the power supply with a multimeter first to confirm it's faulty before buying a new one. The APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) in PS4 systems is paired with the motherboard and carries a unique encryption key tied to the console. If the APU is faulty, replacing it is practically impossible without advanced tools to reprogram and match the console's security system.

Thanks! 😃Me too

The voltage regulator being replaced in the video is most likely a specific voltage regulator IC tied to the power management of the PS3. Its exact name or part number depends on the motherboard model and the specific component being shown. If you're working on a PS3 repair, I recommend checking the schematics or looking for markings on the IC itself for identification. Let me know if you need further help! 😊

@idreestech could you tell which are main power voltage regulators I'm not which ones they located on the back the PS3 slim cech 2001a I'm not really sure which ones mine I'm even are from the playstation developer wiki I've only seen someone replacing them once

@idreestech also who u would me too replace the voltage regulator that 2 prong insert thing my PS3 slim cech 2001a doesn't even go into standby mode on anymore and I'm not too sure which voltage regulators need replacing

Great question! On the PS3 Slim CECH-2001A, the main power voltage regulators are typically located near the GPU/CPU and the surrounding power delivery circuits. Look for ICs labeled with part numbers. or similar buck converters near the CPU and the GPU. These manage core voltages. Cross-reference them with the PlayStation Developer Wiki for their exact locations. If you're unsure, feel free to share a picture of the board, and I'll help you identify them! 👍

Thanks for reaching out! If your PS3 Slim CECH-2001A doesn't even go into standby mode, you might be dealing with an issue in the standby voltage rail (5V line) or the primary power management IC. To identify the specific voltage regulator, start by checking: The 5V standby regulator (often marked as a 2-pin or 3-pin component near the power input or PSU connector). The power-on enable circuits near the syscon IC. Use a multimeter to test these components for proper output. If you're unsure, feel free to send a photo of your board, and I'll guide you on which parts to test or replace. Remember to check for shorts or damaged capacitors near the regulators as well. Good luck!
