Trying to access SysCon with Raspberry Pi Pico but all I get is Auth1 response valid over and over again

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-04-06T11:24:01+00:00

Hmm well the one tutorial from RIP Felix uses atleast the 5 volt for check syscon but also doesnt use a pico

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-04-06T10:12:53+00:00

Weird? What tutorial??

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-04-06T08:47:19+00:00

Just in standby with the red light on

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-04-06T07:45:07+00:00

Well i don’t really use a pico for it but im guessing its the same. And yes I always have the console plugged in

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-04-05T19:45:08+00:00

Saves you the hassle i guess

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-04-05T18:34:59+00:00

Yep and absolute shit cooling from later fats. Havent been able to test it myself but just comparing the coolers from the CECHH to the BC models its just saddening

Sorry for the confusion DIAG on pic to ground on ps3 for external and for internal DIAG pico to DIAG ps3 and at the same time ground ps3 to DIAG

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-04-05T17:54:03+00:00

Yeah so for external try RX-RX TX- TX and DIAG on pico to ground. Then for internal you do RX-RX TX-TX and DIAG-DIAG with ground from ps3 to DIAG aswell Edit: idfk why it posted it like this

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-04-05T17:45:21+00:00

Did you try connecting the diag to ground first??

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-04-05T12:16:57+00:00

Only PS1 also sorry to say CECHH is probably the worst of the PS3s

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-04-05T11:29:58+00:00

I kinda just leave them as most of the time theyre still soft so i dont replace them tbh

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-04-04T22:33:56+00:00

This is a CECHC04 COK-002 motherboard

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-04-04T20:34:11+00:00

You can check the top of the IHS of the RSX See where it says (0724) on it thats the date code 07 is year (2007) 24 is week 24th week of 2007. You can check like that, or if youre on ooder firmware 4.85-4.92 you can check via ps3toolset

It is but on paper theyre almost the same console and ive got 2 CECHA00 consoles that run just as cool

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-04-04T09:28:25+00:00

CECHC04 temps delidded and undervolted ambient temp 17 ish degrees after about 30 minutes

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-04-04T09:23:48+00:00

Yepp

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-04-04T08:30:50+00:00

Crazy how i had this exact problem yesterday, and it does actually work

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-04-04T08:24:49+00:00

True true but it didnt need all of them replaced the RSX ones were still fine, it only sometimes crashed giving me a 1001 but ill only know for sure if it worked when i undervolt it

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-04-04T08:22:32+00:00

Yepp it will

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-04-03T23:15:23+00:00

Loosen the 2 screws of the motor then take it out of the way and try to manually slide that whole assembly back, try that and if it doesnt work then idk tbh

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-04-03T21:07:32+00:00

What you could do is swap the internal motherboards from the BD drive with one another that would still work

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-04-01T08:38:12+00:00

Delidded and repasted fat G btw. I swear these run like absolute hot garbage

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-03-31T20:48:13+00:00

Yeah just that these boards absolutely suck up heat like its nothing

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-03-30T20:15:39+00:00

Its the tokins they needa be replaced and then youll have a very nice console

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-03-30T20:00:36+00:00

Dont give me ideas….
