I have a console.. was working fine, managed to downgrade sucessfully and convert to dex without any issues..

Put it on rebug 4.75.3 drex.. turned it off for 30 mins, turned it back on now it YLOD and shuts off...

CANNOT BE THERMAL PASTE AS I HAVE ALREADY REAPPLIED PASTE

Stops shutting off when I take the HDD out..

So i bought a new HDD.. install firmware on it.. now it boots up again fine..

turn it off for half an hour or so.. turn it back on and it YLOD's and turns off again..


Why is the HDD's causing this? its like something is writing to them before they shut down :/

shall i try different firmware? could the HDD port be dodgey?

Willing to pay if someone can solve this.. baffled me.. been trying to find a fix for the last 48 hours..

changed psu also.. same problemm

Dead/Disconnected HDD - tried 3 or 4 hdd's, impossible

Cold-Joint between the CPU/RSX/EE(If your console has one)- its only a 2003B , i doubt it needs a full reball yet

Physical Damage to the Motherboard- impossible

Dead power supply - impossible becuase of what i stated underneath

Not enough voltage from the power supply (Failing Power Supply) - impossible got a working psu in there from another console

Jammed/Disconnected Fan (Not Confirmed) - impossible

Overheating - impossible

Corrupted NAND/Nor Flash - Maybe if they had the console jailbroken before.. but next to impossible as good chance the original cid would be banned but its not and all the backups were perfect, reseated the clip each backup

Bad Update - Impossible

Short Circuit - Ive checked the board, gone over it all with 99.99% alcohol


Im absolutely baffled by this.. 4-5 days ive been trying to figure this out now

It was on OFW when i got it, they only opened it to check the PSU from what im told

but its just running there nothing being loaded. Its the point where your flash meats up with trying to load the hdd. I would agree and would say to at the very least have a backup verified..

If it's coming down to you having to find someone to do this, there isn't really a point since what they charge can most likely buy you another console...

Also just verify, if you only install downgrader, and shut it off. Does it do this, or only after installing cfw?
