Ok, so. I spent some time going through every smd component around the cpu/rsx area and I've found some components whose solder had melted off and not making contact anymore. I've soldered those back on and replaced some bulging electrolytic caps on a different area so those should be fine...
I specifically said that they seem to have gone through a lot of heat, but the forum posts by RIP-felix say that discoloration and the housings melting does not indicate whether they're damaged. You're not wrong for assuming they are bad and I would do the same but I am still in the...
Yes, but it doesn't look like a reasonable option to jump straight into replacing the TOKINs without verifying that something else in the power circuitry is failing first.
That's why I was asking on how/where to probe for the cpu voltage before going down that route and ruining the board/rsx...
Hey. I am geting the same error in syscon(A0093003), as stated above, but I also get A0112124 but that's a problem to look at later I guess.
I want to ask if I need to look into replacing the nec/tokin caps first or look into other passive components first. I've noticed that the tokins for the...
