Hi,
I'm was wondering if anyone on here could help me repair this PS3 motherboard, originally when I powered it on, it shut down right away, no lights.
I managed to figure out, that there was a short on the 12v line (IC6202 IP2003AP had shorted). I have replaced the IC, but the console is now showing the classic YLOD. I have reflowed the GPU and CPU, replaced the GPU, and still the same.
I'm wondering what might have caused the rectifier to blow in the first place, as this may lead me to find whats causing the YLOD. I only know basic electronics, so not really sure what to check next.
I couldn't upload the schematic, as it exceeded the upload limit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
