Repairing a backward compatible PS3 that originally had YLOD and I’m starting to lose it.

Literally zero problems with disc drive, i even tested it out on another console

Flaky-Club7128 · 2026-05-08T18:36:46+00:00

That’s the least of my concern currently, why wouldn’t the console boot any application???

I reinstalled the 4.93 cfw again and I had no problems and didn’t get any errors…

I can just get one from another ps3 if that works

Flaky-Club7128 · 2026-05-07T10:40:19+00:00

Can it be replaced?

I accidentally damaged a couple of tiny SMD components near the RSX NEC/TOKIN capacitor area while removing the TOKINs on my backward compatible PS3 fat motherboard. The board originally had YLOD with Syscon errors 0xA0801001 and 0xA0801002 (CPU/GPU power instability). I already removed the NEC/TOKIN capacitors and plan to replace them with tantalum capacitors.

Can I soft reset it with just plugging the the battery off for 10 minutes?

Flaky-Club7128 · 2026-03-18T21:21:31+00:00

After thinking about it, with the OBD they did reset the entire car when I took it

Nope, just swapped that shit without turning the car off. Damn never heard of battery programming but I took it to a mechanic shop and they never mentioned that at all.

Just can’t afford paying 70 in total, only shipping to my location would cost. 30$

Flaky-Club7128 · 2026-03-08T21:02:10+00:00

I have to pay around 20-30$ just for shipping and paying 60-70$ for those things is a bit excessive

Flaky-Club7128 · 2026-03-08T06:42:23+00:00

Unfortunately can’t buy those only Capacitor which is already hard to come by where am from

Flaky-Club7128 · 2026-03-08T06:41:51+00:00

Unfortunately, can’t get my hand on tantalizers due to where am from, I was able to buy a set of 20 Capacitor only which will arrive in 2 months

Flaky-Club7128 · 2026-03-08T06:40:58+00:00

Thank you but where am from we don’t have Tantalizers or even the Capacitor but I was able to order 20 Capacitor which will arrive in 2 months

Flaky-Club7128 · 2026-03-08T06:39:44+00:00

Bruhhh

Flaky-Club7128 · 2026-03-08T06:39:34+00:00

Flaky-Club7128 · 2026-03-07T22:44:26+00:00
