It was already a piece of trash, now at least it works, even for not very long it's still here.
Dude, if you think that this solved the problem of YLOD, then you are deeply mistaken. Disassemble, clean from dust and change the thermal paste - this is not enough. Who will scalp RSX and PSX? There, under the covers, is also thermal paste. So expect the PS3 to die again soon. Capacitors from NEC have nothing to do with it at all, why did you touch them? YLOD is a problem caused by overheating and poor soldering of the BGA chip. I’m generally scared to talk about soldering, it’s horror. It hurts me as a repairman to look at this.......
@@Swif7Shadowgood deal, I don’t want to do what they do with the caps anyways. It looks exceedingly risky and damaging to the console. Is it still worth fixing alongside everything else like the thermal pads and paste?
In this case it probably was the gpu and replacing the tokins happened to get it working but trust me it will only fix it temporarily if the gpu is bad
A wild assumption is made that it’s the Tokins. No SYSCON check performed. Horrible removal of the Tokins by jabbing a screwdriver at it! Left the black strip of the Tokins on the board… clearly wasn’t using enough heat so the soldering job of the Caps was crusty and awful….. what exactly have you restored here?
I completely agree. I was cringing the whole time he ripped off the old caps and soldered the new ones. I hope no one uses this as an example of fixing YLOD.
@@adampruchinsky4574 Errr no what I have said is just pure common sense when it comes to PS3 repairs. For 1 thing jabbing the board with a screw driver is bad practice, leaving the plastic from the Old Caps is bad... The fact before you even LOOK at the caps, not checking SYSCON is just a brain dead move. No need for me to " show" how I would do it as I wouldn't attempt this myself unless I wired up SYSCON and knew for sure what the issue was.
This video should be considered one of the iconic videos on fixing YLOD and cleaning PS3 to return it like brand new. Amazing job man. Oh, can you please include the link of capacitors you bought to replace NEC Token ones? Thanks
That PS3 is a backwards compatible model, which can run from PS1, PS2 to PS3 Discs, which other PlayStation 3's can only play PS1 and this one is an extremely rare model. Take very good care of it!
You can see it’s a PS3 model CECHC04 at the 5:39 mark. This model is backwards compatible but lacks the emotion engine chip found in earlier CECHA and CECHB models. I found this information on the web. The CECHC04 has got hybrid PS2 emulation, which means that the Graphics Synthesizer is on the motherboard, but the Emotion Engine is emulated by CELL. This means that this model has got additional routine for emulating PS2 Games: ps2_gxemu
Think I'd like to have a custom PCB for those capacitors to make it look a bit tidier, but good work of course. My original release PS3 is still going strong, but not used for a while. Have another early model PS3 that I got free, but was said not to work, so may give that one a look see when have the time.

No disrespect intended but this is normally not what is wrong with these units. It will temporarily "fix" them because the heat applied to remove and replace the NEC Tokin chips will temporarily reflow the BGA under the real problem, the RSX chip. Reselling these after doing this type of repair is a bit unethical. Most of these will fail in days. Some will last weeks. A few will last months. As someone else on here already stated please watch RIP Felix YLOD video here on TH-cam. He does an amazing in depth analysis and is the person responsible for enlightening myself. As a side note, part of the reason I commented on an old video is I am getting these in my shop on a fairly regular basis in just the last 3 months. My customers had purchased "refurbed" and they worked for a short time before reverting to the blinking red light. Can they be saved by replacing the RSX chip, maybe. But the amount now spent on the console is rather prohibitive. So just don't jump in and start replacing NEC Tokin chips. They were blamed for something they normally weren't causing.
Absolutely stunning work. I still have my old fat 60 gig (500gig now) PS3, bought it brand new and it wasn't until recently I had to get repaired. Are those NEC chips usually the cause of YLOD?
no, it's usually the solder used under the gpu. 50ish% of the YLOD reports are the solder. The chips replaced here can also be a cause, but not to the extent of the GPU issue.
I do bga rework, and it's almost always a bad rsx chip or bga connections under the rsx, only way to permanently fix is to swap a slim rsx chip on to the cok001 002 boards.. Also called the Frankenstein mod. Works really well
My brothers CECH-E01 has this issue. I had to open it and disassemble the disc drive to get a PS1 game out of it. Thankfully it works in my PS3 Super Slim
Why is it always a capacitor? I gotta say, watching these kinds of videos inspire me to know at least the basics of everything. It would save me so much money.
Because of heat dissipation the capactiors overheat and with time they will fail and thats what causes ylod most of the times.Cpu nor capacitor are the cause of ylod very rarely the gpu itself
Manufacturing deficiencies in the 95nm process GPUs cause power draw issues after a number of heat/cool cycles. The core issue can be temporarily fixed by the cap replacement but will not last. Even when syscon is reporting capacitor errors, you have to take a step back and understand what killed the caps.

The fixing looks doable until he started scraping the chips off and then soldering the smaller yellow chip. Was there a part where he diagnose the issues before doing it and then tested again prior to putting everything back together? I seen videos where they use multi-meters to test.
Usually it’s not the capacitors, it’s more or likely the RSX (the GPU). They were known for their insane power consumption and heat output. The 90 nm variants (the ones found in the launch models) had the most issues. When they started decreasing the size, this decreased power consumption and made them a lot cooler temperature wise. This is why the later Phats, Slims, and Super Slims are the more desirable models, even though they lose PS2 backwards compatibility
No issues with your work, but would have liked either explaining why you did the replacement soldering.. Not an expert as a viewer so would have liked to known the reason to do that
If you want a full breakdown of how PS3 consoles fail, and the various fixes available, you should look up "Rip Felix". He has a handful of videos explaining what he learned while trying to fix multiple PS3 consoles. Very educational.
He did his job not that good actually. Ripping the capacitors of with a screwdriver is a no go, also normally you check alot of different things like the "syscon" before replacing the nectokens. Also doesn't it look like a xbox controller at the end?? You can't connect a xbox controller with a ps3??
Ohne viel Worte aber trotzdem gut verständlich!.Mich würde aber noch interessieren welchen Controller benutzt du denn da am Ende.Das sah aus wie der XBox Controller.
Good afternoon EG restoration, I really liked your work, commitment and dedication, essential for this role, I was just in doubt about the new capacitors, they are new NEC/TOKIN models, with the serial number 0E128 - 1200uF according to what came in the box. board, or, are they tantalum capacitors having the same capacitance? Thank you and a big hug.
I think it would be helpful if you added a text description of what was happening in the video. Alot of the time I was confused about what product you were using or what parts you were disassembling and for what reason.
I’m thankful that people put in the time and effort to make these videos but yeah when you’re doing a repair you should narrate it. What’s with this mime stuff? Just tell everyone what’s going on.
Hey love to watch your videos super satisfying. I have a PS2 that won't start should I open it up and try to fix it or send it to get it repaired. I live in florida. Don't know much old console repair shops.
It’s rather easy it may just need a ribbon that runs for $7 and easy to install, or it needs a power supply. Perhaps just dirty. Mine did the same took 20 minutes to fix good luck 🤞
Mi è piaciuto tutto tranne quando hai steso la pasta! Ormai troppi test acclamati confermano la goccia al centro o meglio il chicco di riso come quello migliore in tutto!! Cmq ottimo lavoro meriteresti 10mila Like per questa chicca!!
Nice video but the nec tokens are not the problem. Its gpu failure. To anyone with a ylod ps3, don't replace the tokens unless you know for certan they're the issue. The only real way to make these guys reliable is a 40nm Frankenstein
Самое интересное, что YOLD это не 100% замена токенов, по хорошему сначала надо снять ошибки из SYSCON и они подскажут с 95% вероятностью в чем проблема желтого огня. Простой владелец щас посмотрит - побежит токены менять на танталовые конденсаторы, а там проблема в отвале графического чипа. Короче в описании хотя бы добавили бы про этот момент, чтобы не обнадеживать других.
It was no ylod, but a rlod and ripping off the nec tokin capacitors was a detrimental error. You dont get replacements for them, there are none and you normally read out errors via the syscon. You inadvertently totalled that backwardscompatible console for the future, because the alternative capacitors are the new problem over short or long time. Consolemurderer!
Fun fact: your info is incorrect, YLOD is a general hardware failure and he should have diagnosed it properly by soldering wires on the syscon RXD and TXD pins and using a UART, if the error code produced by said chip ends with "1002", it indeed is the power going to the RSX not being correct which means the NEC Tokin tantalum caps are the culprit, if the error produced is anything else, like a 3034 which indicates a dead RSX chip, then yes, it isn't the culprit. If the issue is a 3034 then your only solution basically is to get a new chip.
The video description is translated to portuguese haha. I realized that you are no from Brazil. Let me give my 2 cents: 1 - Remove the processor/gpu protection before applying thermal paste (you can do this using a soda can (cut it in 1inch stripes and do the process carefully). 2 - An awesome game to test if the tantalus is working: Burnout Paradise. I have one of my 10 YLOD PS3 (yeah, I know, its a lot and I bought it in 2020, so, I got no much time to fix these guys) and I can play other games normally, but It shutdowns with Burnout. In this moment it is oppened in a basement waiting for me to fix this issue, I guess I will do like you did...
Lol, those NEC/Tokin caps on the PS3s almost never go bad, so replacing them with zero actual diagnostics to "fix" YLOD is a total fad if you follow the latest developments in the PS3 repair community. This "repair" will not last. In the vast majority of cases YLOD is caused by a dead GPU and the only real way to fix it is by replacing the GPU (now there are ways to use the newer versions, but it is far from trivial).
Look at the likes and dislikes on this video and you will see.. Luckily people understand nowadays, that the easy fixes are not the problem, often. Just remember the times everyone was using a hairdryer for ps3s and the oven for graphixcards fixes. People are finally learning.
Solo has cambiado los capacitores de la parte trasera? has puesto 4 y 3 capacitores...pensaba que tenían que múltiplos de 4 .con eso ya es suficiente? Por cierto buen video, ya he visto unos cuantos y cada uno lo hace de una manera diferente
En la guía oficial de la scene dice q hay q poner 4 de 470uf x c/d uno noc xq no hacen caso🙄ademas recomiendan usar el siscon para saber específicamente el error
Por que no grabaste cuando enciendes la consola posterior a su reparación? por que un mando de xbox? la verdad me gusto el video pero lamentablemente se daño todo por ese detalle desde mi punto de vista.
every time i put these vids on before i sleep around my friends they hate the scrubbing in the soap water but thats my fav part smh but they like everything else apart from that
Realmente, é meu sonho ter o PS3 Fat, é o console mais lindo que existe. Sonho em ter o PS2 Fat também. Eu tenho ambos os consoles mas são modelo slim.
Were the tokens actually damaged/dfective or was the replacement just part of a general overhaul? (because the Nec Token caps are usually really really good and have generally not much to do with YLOD in the long run, at least not just by themselves)
Why did you go straight to changing the NEC token capacitors? You should use the correct tools and check the syscon error log for the exact cause. What you did here is most likely only temporary.
Without deliding of the IHS from the RSX and the Cell chip this console won't last very long. It's an early model PS3 from 2006. Just imagine how the thermal paste looks like beneath those IHSs after 17 years. It's usual harder than Chocolate if there's left any at all.
What chocolate are you thinking about? Most chocolate in the US is cut with enough milk and sugar that it melts if you hold it for a minute, or just look at it with an angry face.
I wonder if the heat you applied to the board when replacing the capacitors was enough to reflow to get it to turn on and it seemed like it was the capacitors that fixed the issue. Also, why not delid the CPU/GPU chips and replace the dried up thermal paste underneath? Seems like you went through a lot of trouble to skip the most important step in restoring these?
How did you know just to replace the Nec Tokin caps to get it to work again? Did you think to use syscon to read the errors? Is the condole still working? Cheers
can you list the products you used in the video description? the liquid the screw set and that (im assuming transistors) but i could be wrong. i wanna do my ps3 and i want to he thorough just like you instead of just cleaning gunk. ❤ thanks ij advance
I finally got one of these rare Og PS3s and I was ready to follow this process until I saw the soldering part. I lack the skill and practice to perform that part. I'm afraid I just got a beautiful ornament.
I had no idea the OG fat ps3 had sd card slots under that hood. I just tried to pop the front off my PS fat v2 thinking there would be something there and there wasnt LMFAO

Also doesn't it look like a xbox controller at the end?? You can't connect a xbox controller with a ps3??
That's 110% an Xbox controller
I would love to have my PlayStation3 repaired as well.
It has the same symptoms as the video.
Check out R.I.P. Felix. Get some real information and answers.
Very nice and clean job! What kind of capacitors did you use? Thanks in advance
Turn on sub-titles or read his description.
First, i have to confirm my ps3 vers
Ohne viel Worte aber trotzdem gut verständlich!.Mich würde aber noch interessieren welchen Controller benutzt du denn da am Ende.Das sah aus wie der XBox Controller.
Good afternoon EG restoration, I really liked your work, commitment and dedication, essential for this role, I was just in doubt about the new capacitors, they are new NEC/TOKIN models, with the serial number 0E128 - 1200uF according to what came in the box. board, or, are they tantalum capacitors having the same capacitance? Thank you and a big hug.
Thank you very much!
Impressionnant. Good job. La ps1 pla ps3 et 3 mytiques. Bravo chef
I think it would be helpful if you added a text description of what was happening in the video. Alot of the time I was confused about what product you were using or what parts you were disassembling and for what reason.
Not sure if they were on already, but the subtitles add some informative information during the repair.
I’m thankful that people put in the time and effort to make these videos but yeah when you’re doing a repair you should narrate it. What’s with this mime stuff? Just tell everyone what’s going on.
Hey love to watch your videos super satisfying. I have a PS2 that won't start should I open it up and try to fix it or send it to get it repaired. I live in florida. Don't know much old console repair shops.
It’s rather easy it may just need a ribbon that runs for $7 and easy to install, or it needs a power supply. Perhaps just dirty. Mine did the same took 20 minutes to fix good luck 🤞
Mi è piaciuto tutto tranne quando hai steso la pasta! Ormai troppi test acclamati confermano la goccia al centro o meglio il chicco di riso come quello migliore in tutto!! Cmq ottimo lavoro meriteresti 10mila Like per questa chicca!!
Looks like a dk oldies refurbished console
Nice work! Was it necessary also to replace a new cmos 3.3v battery?
По хорошему нужно было ещё скальпировать процессоры и заменить термо интерфейс под их крышками!
Nice video but the nec tokens are not the problem. Its gpu failure. To anyone with a ylod ps3, don't replace the tokens unless you know for certan they're the issue. The only real way to make these guys reliable is a 40nm Frankenstein
Самое интересное, что YOLD это не 100% замена токенов, по хорошему сначала надо снять ошибки из SYSCON и они подскажут с 95% вероятностью в чем проблема желтого огня. Простой владелец щас посмотрит - побежит токены менять на танталовые конденсаторы, а там проблема в отвале графического чипа. Короче в описании хотя бы добавили бы про этот момент, чтобы не обнадеживать других.
Подписался под каждым словом, автор настоящий варвар.
It was no ylod, but a rlod and ripping off the nec tokin capacitors was a detrimental error. You dont get replacements for them, there are none and you normally read out errors via the syscon. You inadvertently totalled that backwardscompatible console for the future, because the alternative capacitors are the new problem over short or long time. Consolemurderer!
New title: I threw 2 ps3 in the desert then clean them.
Fun Fact: The NEC/TOKINs aren't the culprit of the issue, and it gets fixed by the heat applied near the chipset
Fun fact: your info is incorrect, YLOD is a general hardware failure and he should have diagnosed it properly by soldering wires on the syscon RXD and TXD pins and using a UART, if the error code produced by said chip ends with "1002", it indeed is the power going to the RSX not being correct which means the NEC Tokin tantalum caps are the culprit, if the error produced is anything else, like a 3034 which indicates a dead RSX chip, then yes, it isn't the culprit. If the issue is a 3034 then your only solution basically is to get a new chip.
Never asked this guy to rack up the lines
The video description is translated to portuguese haha. I realized that you are no from Brazil.
Let me give my 2 cents:
1 - Remove the processor/gpu protection before applying thermal paste (you can do this using a soda can (cut it in 1inch stripes and do the process carefully).
2 - An awesome game to test if the tantalus is working: Burnout Paradise. I have one of my 10 YLOD PS3 (yeah, I know, its a lot and I bought it in 2020, so, I got no much time to fix these guys) and I can play other games normally, but It shutdowns with Burnout. In this moment it is oppened in a basement waiting for me to fix this issue, I guess I will do like you did...
Lol, those NEC/Tokin caps on the PS3s almost never go bad, so replacing them with zero actual diagnostics to "fix" YLOD is a total fad if you follow the latest developments in the PS3 repair community. This "repair" will not last.
In the vast majority of cases YLOD is caused by a dead GPU and the only real way to fix it is by replacing the GPU (now there are ways to use the newer versions, but it is far from trivial).
Look at the likes and dislikes on this video and you will see.. Luckily people understand nowadays, that the easy fixes are not the problem, often. Just remember the times everyone was using a hairdryer for ps3s and the oven for graphixcards fixes. People are finally learning.
You applied the thermal paste very badly and carelessly.
I’m pretty sure it’s suppose to mimic thermal pads
He used shitty chinese thermal shit
Then make a video on how to do it correctly….
That wasn't thermal paste. It was flux that you use when soldering. It cleans up as you go along.
@@SlickRick4EVER W comment
That's Hiroshima level of job in words of North Ridge fix
Thanks for the visit
Solo has cambiado los capacitores de la parte trasera? has puesto 4 y 3 capacitores...pensaba que tenían que múltiplos de 4 .con eso ya es suficiente? Por cierto buen video, ya he visto unos cuantos y cada uno lo hace de una manera diferente
En la guía oficial de la scene dice q hay q poner 4 de 470uf x c/d uno noc xq no hacen caso🙄ademas recomiendan usar el siscon para saber específicamente el error
This is awesome 🤩
Which capacitors did you replace the NEC ones with?
Thank you for the tutorial!
Im watching this as i am in the process of buying a YLOD ps3 to teach myself how to solder
Good luck
Thanks
@@resEGsad news: it exploded (literally, now i need a ps3 again)
@resEG an unrelated note: is it a good investment if I trade my ylod (already exploded) ps3 fat and my okay ps2 slim and trade it for a ps2 fat?
Next fix an xbox 360. I like these restorations
Fun Fact: The PS3's wording uses the same Mata font that was used for Sam Rami's Spider-Man trilogy.
That was amazing! Also are you playing a ps3 with Xbox 360 controller lmao
It is not an Xbox 360 controller it is a Rapoo V600 Ergonomic Vibration Shock Controller Gamepad for PC, PS3, and XBOX360, thanks for the visit
Невероятно кропотливая работа
😊👍👍🎮
припаял как варвар
I did not expect him to pull a flathead screwdriver out and start chomping away at the motherboard
Por que no grabaste cuando enciendes la consola posterior a su reparación? por que un mando de xbox? la verdad me gusto el video pero lamentablemente se daño todo por ese detalle desde mi punto de vista.
I'm surprised the XDR memory of PS3 is still replaceable to this day even though it's been almost 10 years since PS3 was discontinued
Those changed are capacitors, not the memory banks.
I feel like a youtube tutorial was being watched as this "repair" was happening
every time i put these vids on before i sleep around my friends they hate the scrubbing in the soap water but thats my fav part smh but they like everything else apart from that
Adoro ver seus vídeos 💕💕❤️
Cara na minha opinião esse é o melhor modelo do PS3, pena que é o mais dificil de encontrar, o segundo melhor é o Slim
E por ultimo o super slim
Realmente, é meu sonho ter o PS3 Fat, é o console mais lindo que existe. Sonho em ter o PS2 Fat também.
Eu tenho ambos os consoles mas são modelo slim.
Correcto , la mejor versión es la PS3 fat retrocompatible
I like this video. A bit of information about the parts and what you were doing would have been nice. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Were the tokens actually damaged/dfective or was the replacement just part of a general overhaul? (because the Nec Token caps are usually really really good and have generally not much to do with YLOD in the long run, at least not just by themselves)
actually the oposide. Nec tokins even on old laptops they faill.
Not true. Go do some more research @@NetYarozeGR
Odd tinkering makes it much better
Why did you go straight to changing the NEC token capacitors? You should use the correct tools and check the syscon error log for the exact cause. What you did here is most likely only temporary.
this is how DK Oldies are selling those retro consoles to the people, broken
Without deliding of the IHS from the RSX and the Cell chip this console won't last very long.
It's an early model PS3 from 2006.
Just imagine how the thermal paste looks like beneath those IHSs after 17 years. It's usual harder than Chocolate if there's left any at all.
What chocolate are you thinking about? Most chocolate in the US is cut with enough milk and sugar that it melts if you hold it for a minute, or just look at it with an angry face.
@@zhurnivuurg i meant unmelted, untouched rock solid black chocolate, which is hard to break and even harder to chew.
I wonder if the heat you applied to the board when replacing the capacitors was enough to reflow to get it to turn on and it seemed like it was the capacitors that fixed the issue. Also, why not delid the CPU/GPU chips and replace the dried up thermal paste underneath? Seems like you went through a lot of trouble to skip the most important step in restoring these?
Muito bom parabéns pelo vídeo show
Me:*sees 360 controller used on PS3* Wait that's illegal!
I'm guessing you're using a mod and/or device due to the lack of a Dualshock 3 currently?
good restore👍👍
Thanks 👍for the kind words! Thanks, buddy! Have a great day.
How did you know just to replace the Nec Tokin caps to get it to work again? Did you think to use syscon to read the errors? Is the condole still working? Cheers
can you list the products you used in the video description? the liquid the screw set and that (im assuming transistors) but i could be wrong. i wanna do my ps3 and i want to he thorough just like you instead of just cleaning gunk. ❤ thanks ij advance
I finally got one of these rare Og PS3s and I was ready to follow this process until I saw the soldering part. I lack the skill and practice to perform that part. I'm afraid I just got a beautiful ornament.
I had no idea the OG fat ps3 had sd card slots under that hood. I just tried to pop the front off my PS fat v2 thinking there would be something there and there wasnt LMFAO
Always great work PS3 the best console ever
DK Oldies need to take some notes.
Para mi el mejor modelo de ps3 , es la ps3 fat retrocompatible, la que tiene lector de tarjetas y cuatro puertos USB , pero es la más difícil de encontrar , esa versión venia con disco duro de 80gb
Es la que tengo, pero con luz amarilla 😅😅
I seen someone say it plays PS2 games. It also plays PS1 as well. Those are still very much wanted PS3's.
Also the yellow things/orange things you used to replace what exactly is that?
I am actually getting into working on systems and any information helps. Thanks
Gran trabajo como siempre, podrías poner link donde comprar los capacitor es? Gracias
Me imagino que fue en Ali express
Y se ve que usa un control de xbox 360 en la play 3 no sabia que eran compatibles
hola amigo, sabes el nombre del juego ??
@@selectplayernueve6248 creo que es burnout paradise
@@gomenoni se puede si la ps3 tiene instalado Custom Firmware y por medio de un plug in.
