Trying Frankenstein Mod for the First Time – What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
I tried Frankenstein mod on my PS3 for the first time. This is the mod to revive your console from YLOD (syscon error 3034).
I extracted the 65nm RSX from a YLOD CECHL (syscon error 1002) in my last video.
th-cam.com/video/HCXPklRuzgY/w-d-xo.html
Then I transplant this 65nm RSX into a YLOD CECHA (syscon error 3034) in this video.
This is my first time trying a BGA rework.

Harvesting a 65nm RSX from a YLOD PS3
มุมมอง 4.7K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
This PS3 (model: CECHL) is having YLOD. Instead of fixing it, I harvest the 65nm RSX from it, which will be used for Frankenstein mod later. Before part harvesting, I extracted the syscon error log using a FT232RL TTL. The error log shows 1002, 2024, and 2124. Upon checking the wiki, it seems these errors are related to the HDMI encoders, which means the RSX is good to be harvested. Equipment u...

Are you getting error code 80010201 and 8001000A on your PS3? I recently moved from a rural area to a urban area, and my PS3 network function stopped working after that.

    My 60 GB PS3 that I got back in 2007, got that yellow light issue just yesterday! I hope it can be fixed. I only used it for playing Gran Turismo (GT5 Prologue and GT6) and I had a very nice car collection :-( I think my PS3 had been very reliable. I mean, I didn’t play daily and it was stored in a dry place for a couple of years (until the pandemic, that is, when I resumed playing). And even though I had never changed thermal paste, until early this year, honestly, it wasn’t burnt, and the fan was not dirty. It probably failed due to wear and a period of time running hot (a long time ago, I lent it to an uncle to use it as a BD-player, and the idiot placed it in a cased cabinet, and he even shut the door because he found the fan noise annoying!). That must have stressed my PS3. I regret I lent it… I always kept it in a place with good ventilation and in tower position… Gosh I hope it can be fixed!

    As someone that has never done a reball and has even very limited soldering skills, I'm wondering if after you remove the stencil and the balls are sitting there, wouldn't it be easier to use like a hot plate to melt the balls rather than a heat gun? I don't think anybody else has mentioned this in the comments, so it might just be a stupid idea
