When a console loses AC power, it may generate error A0801004. During the shutdown sequence, voltage regulators are turned off sequentially in reverse order to the Power On Sequence (POS). This allows components enough time to enter a power off state. It helps to prevents data corruption and voltage spikes or discharges that can damage sensitive components. 1004 errors commonly occur in machines that can power on but have graphical artifacts or no video, also known as GLOD. In such cases, the user has no choice but to improperly power off. Forcing a shutdown using the power rocker at the back of the console (for Phat models), or by pulling the power cord (for slim and super slim models) will cause an unexpected loss of AC power and prevent the SYSCON from completing the shutdown sequence.  
When a console loses AC power, it may generate error A0801004. The 1004 error commonly occurs in machines that can power on but have graphical artifacts or no video, also known as GLOD. In such cases, the system should be powered off by using the power rocker at the back of the console (for Phat models), or by pulling the power cord (for slim and super slim models). This will cause a loss of AC power, which can lead to the error.




This error may be disregarded if it occurred due to abnormal circumstances, such as a power outage or accidental unplugging. Since it did not result from a hardware malfunction, it is not a significant concern. If a console displays artifacts or the GLOD, the main issue should be addressed first, typically involving a GPU problem requiring a reball or replacement. Afterward, if 1004 errors reoccur, the AC/DC line, PSU, and its connection to the DC-DC converters should be diagnosed.

==== 1005 ====
On an NPX-001 Super Slim Motherboard I was experiencing an A0091005 error, started looking at the CELL power rail and started replacing components, went to replace the Aluminum Polymer Caps and after replacing all 5 on the Cell Side the error was gone.  Seems to be a super slim error only but more testing will be needed to be done to see if it occurs on other motherboards.  Another user reported being able to fix the same error code by replacing the same capacitors.  Sometimes this error will be paired with a 3003 error.  I also had a PQX-001 board with A0801005 followed by A0043005, found a short on the RSX on what I believe to be FBVDDQ for the 28nm, I was unable to fix this issue as after removing every component the line was still short.

Occured while overvolting a 40nm CXD5300 RSX to achieve a higher overclock on a CECH-2501A. An A0801002/A0801301 occured when the voltage regulation module exceeded it's design specifications. SB UART reported there was a Busy loop detected, suggesting that poor filtering under these extreeme conditions can cause a PLL unlock. It did not occur on every YLOD. Note, the 25xx models do not have NEC/Tokins.

As the console cools the microscopic gaps in the solder can be physically reconnected by thermal warping. Warping is due to differences in the Coefficients of Thermal Expansion (CTE) between materials in the motherboard and processor. This expansion and contraction can reconnect the solder joints just enough to allow the console to boot. Or it may disconnect them.

If Attention occurs during the Power ON State (Step# 80) it indicates an error condition. Basically, something is flagged by the Processor as abnormal. It's forced to attempt to resolve the problem before it can continue with whatever it was trying to do. If the error condition cannot be resolved, the CPU sends the ATTENTION signal to the SYSCON. The SYSCON immediately shuts off the console, then reads the SPI Status Register to determine the cause. Then it records the A0801701 in it's errorlog along with the specific cause (if it determined one). Errors that can cause the Attention include:

1701 has been reported from using homebrew apps that caused a software conflict. Uninstalling the software can resolve the issue. It that's not possible because the system is locked up, it may be necessary to restore the operating system (OS).

1701 and 1601 can also occur when exiting heavier games on a dex firmware paired with multiman due to I'm guessing dex and webman allocating 2 more megabytes of ram [as shown by the webman fps counter allocating 18 to xmb on cex and 20 on dex], interfering with the syscon fan curve causing it to get "stuck" resulting in overheating and causing a ylod upon exiting the game though the console reboots fine which may trick people into thinking webman or dex overheats their consoles. I haven't looked into this issue too much but converting from cex to dex has fixed the issue and the issue arose when converting to dex so I belive there are fringe cases where this is an issue

==== 1802 ([[RSX]] Initialization) ====


A0801802 occurring after the console has booted (step# 80) and causes BE Attention (1701) alarm raised when a Checkstop error (14FF) occurs. Likely the 1802 was the hardware failure that caused the checkstop error. That causes BE ATTENTION to be driven High and the SYSCON shuts the console down with A0801802, A08014FF, and A0801701. That makes sense because the CPU couldn't continue with it's process when the RSX interrupt occurred. These errors have been seen in consoles that were repaired by an RSX reball/replacement.
A0201802 is the error the SYSCON will return when there is no RSX installed at all! Step# 20 is when the RSX is first Initialized. So if it's not responding that early in the Power On Sequence, then it's Dead-Dead or completely missing!


1802 is confirmation that the RSX was involved, if there's any doubt about what's cauing a 3034.

This code is not diagnostic on its own. When coinciding with 1601/1701, 14FF, 1301, and 3034 it usually means a GPU issue. When coinciding with a 1002 it's usually NEC/TOKIN proadlizers. When they occur in bunches AND without more diagnostic codes, all in the same power on, it may be the MultiAV or HDMI Transmitter ICs. The presence of other codes give you context to their meaning.
'''2021 (Unknown)'''
Rare code. Occurred in a CECHBxx model with 10x A0202121 occuring throughout the power on sequencing before starting the bootloader. It did not prevent boot before the console overheated. Errorlog shows two 10x 2121 + 1200 error combos. One of which also had A0802021 coinside. Log shows the console originally had a NEC/Tokin issue (A0801002) before this started. While this is an Unknown error combo, it may be similar to 2120. On another console, timestamps showed A0101002 occurred 1st and then 10x 2120's occurred over the next 10 seconds. Replacing tokins fixed that console. It's possable this is a similar situation, but with a new code.

This error may be normal in an otherwise working console. They have been observed in th errorlogs of perfectly operational units and can occur naturally from AV issues.  
This error occurs when you see no video out using HDMI on any Samsung Smart TV.


This error has been observed with no video out using HDMI on a Samsung Smart TV. They reproduced the error by making the TV detect another console first (a PS4), turn off the TV, swap the HDMI cable from the PS4 to the PS3, and turning back on the TV.
You can intentionally produce this error code by making the TV detect another console first (a PS4), turn off the TV, swap the HDMI cable from the PS4 to the PS3, and turning back on the TV. You can fix this error code by replugging it in while the TV is on.


This error is also present when the console produces graphical artifacts on the screen. The console freezes and cannot be used, forcing the user to turn off the console. This produces the 2022 error code and is an early sign of GLOD.

It is often seen coinciding with 1601/1701, 14FF, 1301, and 3034 in case of Bad GPU (Common). DVE or HDMI Transmitter possible. If so, multiple errors at the same timestamp allow you to distinguish between causes.

One user reported 2024/2124 errors resolved by replacing the HDMI encoder. Another removed the HDMI encoder and tested the console without it. That console primarily filled the errorlog with 2124 errors, but a few 2024's as well. So it is unclear if 2124 is specific to the HDMI Encoder or AV Encoder. It seems it could be either.

In several reports IC6301 replacement fixed it. In one case, 10x 2120 / 1x 2102 combo was fixed by replacing RSX_VDDIO voltage controler (IC6317).  RSX_FBVDDQ (VRAM voltage) implicated. In most cases, it's an RSX Failure. Sometimes coinciding with A0403034 or other codes indicating GPU fail. Often after reflow attempt.  
After applying slight pressure to the CELL, I used some thermal pads to create the pressure. 5 small, 1 mm pads, and two larger 2mm pads, the same size and depth as the ones used on the southbridge chip) The console now boots and runs without any issues.

Reportedly fixed by replacing IC5001. One person tried replacing X5301, but short C5142 (2.5v to GND). This killed power to IC5004 (RSX/CELL/SB Clock Generator for FlexIO) and caused error A0092113.

Bad GPU NEC/TOKINs if assiciated with 1002 and/or 3004. Has been reported in VER-001 and DYN-001 motherboard revisions. Related codes have been reported in a DIA-002, with A0091002/A0102014, A0101002/A0102113. That was presumably caused by failed RSX tokins. ​


A lone 2114 or one assiciated with 2124, 3020, 1301, and/or 3034 may be GPU/BGA related. Possably HDMI encoder (MN864709), or Texas instrument 88J9LKK C5714 G4 Clock generator, but evidence for both of those cases is weak. However, given it's similarity to error code A0092113, which is related to the clock generators, a connection is suspected.​
A0202120/A0213013 error combinations are common. They appear to be related to VDDIO. IC6301 is involved in the formation of +1.7V_MISC, which amonge other things provides input power to the DC-DC converters that output +1.2V_YC_RC_VDDIO, +1.5V_YC_RC_VDDA, +1.2V_SB_VDDC and +1.2V_SB_VDDR. Lack of voltage to these DC/DC converters downstream of IC6301 suggests F6302 has blown. A number of people have fixed these 2120/3013 errors by finding shorts at or near C6320 and replacing Fuse F6302. But there are many other SMD nearby that might cause these fuses to blow. So you will need to track the source of the short and fix it, or the fuse will just blow again.


==== 2120 (HDMI I/O Error) ====
A bad thermistor (TH2501) has been reported to cause A0002120.
NOTE: Context matters with this error code! The step number and the number of codes per YLOD is different. Careful observation allows you to diagnose the most likely cause.


2120 means an issue with the high speed data buss connection between the DVE <--> RSX <--> HDMI transmitter has occurred. This I/O error DOES NOT mean the HDMI encoder (IC2502) is bad. It is context based. Associative, not diagnostic by itself. You must infer the diagnosis by using other, more diagnostic codes and observe console behavior to identify the cause.
A0802120 and A0902120 errors may be related to the actual HDMI transmitter (IC2502). Or they can be caused by BGA/Bump defects affecting VDDIO, on the RSX or CELL. BGA defects on the RSX VDDIO pads have been confirmed with a pressure test to have caused 2120 errors.


Count the number of 2120's your SYSCON records per YLOD event; look at the timestamp. 10x A0202120 + A0213013 error combinations appear to be related to VDDIO, the reference voltage powering the I/O buss. IC6301 is involved in the formation of +1.7V_MISC, which among other things provides input power to the DC-DC converters that output +1.2V_YC_RC_VDDIO, +1.5V_YC_RC_VDDA, +1.2V_SB_VDDC and +1.2V_SB_VDDR. Lack of voltage to these DC/DC converters downstream of IC6301 suggests F6302 has blown. A number of people have fixed these 2120/3013 error combos by finding shorts at or near C6320 and replacing Fuse F6302. But there are many other SMD nearby that might cause these fuses to blow. So you will need to track the source of the short and fix it, or the fuse will just blow again.
==== 2122 (DVE) ====
 
A bad thermistor (TH2501) has been reported to cause A0002120. It provides over current protection for the HDMI transmitter and output device in case there's a 5v short. This might happen if pins 17 (GND) and 18 (+5v) are damaged on your HDMI port or cable. Or if C2558 or C2570 short. See the service manual circuit diagrams as there are other SMDs that could malfunction and cause this error.
 
A0802120 and A0902120 errors can be caused by BGA or Bump defects that affect I/O, either the RSX or CELL. BGA defects on RSX VDDIO pads have been confirmed with a pressure test to have caused 2120 errors, but usually only one of them occurs per YLOD event. For example, one YLOD event may generate A0403034, A0404412 and an A0902120 error. This would indicate a bad GPU, not a bad HDMI transmitter. And since it occurred during the shutdown state (step number 90) this excludes issues that would have generated an error earlier in POST, like a fuse or a short in the Voltage regulation module (VRM).
 
The HDMI transmitter (IC2502) can also cause A0802120 and A0902120 errors. The IC itself or any of the SMDs between it and the RSX. You can tell a genuine HDMI transmitter issue apart because there multiple A0802120 errors occurring during the bootloader after the console has completed the power on self test (POST). This excludes a fuse and VRM issues, as indicated by the step number 80 (power on state). You will usually see a different number of 2120s at random. Like 4 or 6 of them. This is different than the 10x 2120/3013 error combo or 3034/4xxx/2120 combo described earlier.

2124 and 2024 errors have been fixed by replacing both the AV and HDMI encoders. One user reported 2024/2124 errors resolved by replacing the HDMI encoder. Another removed the HDMI encoder and tested the console without it. That console primarily filled the errorlog with 2124 errors, but a few 2024's as well. So it is unclear if 2124 is specific to the HDMI Encoder or AV Encoder. It seems it could be either.

This error has been triggered when pad N12 (RSXVRM_VID0) was damaged, preventing RSX VDDC voltage from being set correctly. SYSCON sets the CPU VID just before the Config ring data is loaded. Apparently, SYSCON sets RSX VID on IC6201 (Buck Controller) at step number 32, which is just after. These voltages must be stable before the FlexIO can calibrated (BitTraining at Step No. 40 & ByteTraining at 50 & 51).
==== 3034 ====
[[CELL BE|CELL]] / [[RSX]] Communication Error


====3034 ====
This is the most common error seen in early Phat model PS3's with the hottest 90nm [[RSX]] and [[CELL BE|CELL]] processors. It is the hallmark of a BGA defect (such as a cracked solder ball). It is by no means limited to the early models, however. These errors have been seen in every model of PS3 with varying frequency. The most reliable consoles appear to be those with a CPU/GPU of smaller manufacturing process, such as the Super Slim (SS) models (42xx and later) which have a 45nm [[CELL BE|CELL]] and 28nm [[RSX]]. The least reliable are the PS2 Backwards Compatable A-E Models, which have 90nm [[RSX]]/[[CELL BE|CELL]].
[[CELL BE|CELL]] / [[RSX]] / [[South Bridge]] error during Bit-Training


This error occurs when Bit Training fails. Bit Training, also know as bit calibration, is a critical process during the power-on-reset (POR) sequence of the CELL BE processor. It fine-tunes the behavior of individual bits within the 8-bit-wide Rambus channels. This adjustment accounts for variations in circuitry, wiring, and loading delays. Bit training plays a pivotal role in optimizing signal quality by calibrating the signal driver current, driver impedance, and ensuring that the timing of each of the eight data bits aligns with clock edges, effectively centering the data "eye" allowing for more accurate and reliable data transmission.  
The root cause is mechanical fatigue due to thermal cycling. The materials used to contruct the motherboard and processors have different properties. For example, the cooefficient of thermal expansion for FR4 Fiberglass used in the Motherboard and Processor Substrate is different than that of the copper BGA pads, which is different than that of the Lead-Free solder used to join them. This means they will expand and contract at different rates as the chip heats up and cools down, which applies shearing force to the BGA. Over many thermal cycle this deforms the solder balls and cause a defect (Such as a solder crack, torn trace, or the ball may pull away from the pad).


'''Remember, ITS NOT ALWAYS a bad connection between the CPU, and GPU.''' Bit training calibrates the connection between the GPU, CPU AND South bridge. For example, A0403034 occurred on a VER-001 with a probably BGA defect. By putting pressure on the southbridge the console would boot. Look at the data error and other information of the console before assuming a bad GPU.
3034 is triggered when the voltage or data lines connecting the CPU/GPU are broken. There is often a data error (4XXX) that also appears, but not always. The most common cause is a BGA defect on the [[RSX]], which usually requires a reball/reflow to repair. Something about the [[RSX]] construction or workload causes it to fail more frequently, but the CPU can fail too. However, it's not always a BGA defect. The bumps on either chip can fail, Flex IO traces (the data lines that connect the CPU/GPU) can be broken/scratched, or accumulated damage from wear and tear (electromigration) can also cause this error. The true percentage of consoles with BGA defects that can be fixed with a reball/reflow is unknown. However, there is evidence to suggest that the underfill used to reinforce the CPU/GPU die and [[RSX]] Ram bumps was not as effective when the PS3 was manufactured. This could explain many of the consoles who's reball fails prematurely afterwards.


This is the most common error seen in early Phat model PS3's with the 90nm [[RSX]]. It is the hallmark of solder fatigue (such as a cracked solder ball or bump defect) which affects the Flex IO interface that allows the CPU, GPU, and SB to communicate. It is by no means limited to the early models, however. These errors have been seen in every model of PS3 with varying frequency. However, it's most common in the earliest models, likely due to a manufacturing defect in the 90nm RSX material set. Namely a CTE mismatch between the underfill and bump material that leads to premature solder fatigue and GPU failure. Dubbed "BumpGate," this is a well known failure modality among GPUs manufactured from 2005-2008. Although it has not been proven unequivocally that the 90nm RSX is affected by Bumpgate, members of the community have shown the 90nm RSX has an increased failure rate, similar material set, and exhibits similar symptoms to known bumpgate affected chipsets - such as black screens (GLOD), graphical artifacts like lines, double images, color splotches and pixelation.  
If a reflow/reball of both the CPU/GPU fails, then the chip is beyond repair and needs replaced. The [[RSX]] can be replaced with the same model without modification. It can be replaced with a different model using a modchip (or new syscon modification) that injects the correct [[RSX]] ID during boot. This has been nicknamed a "Frankenstein Mod." Since they are married to each other, the CPU can only be replaced if also replacing the chipset (NAND/NOR and SYSCON Chips). Since the CPU can't as easily be replaced, a dead CPU is usually considered unrepairable.


While Bumpgate is a plausible explanation, it's not the only one. The materials used to construct the motherboard and processors have different coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). This means they will expand and contract at different rates as the chip heats up and cools down, which applies force to solder connections. Over many thermal cycle this deforms the solder and causes a defect. That may affect the Bumps, which attach the silicon die to the interposer (sometimes referred to as substrate) or the Ball-Grid Array (BGA) which connects the interposer to the Motherboard.
==== 3035 ====
 
[[CELL BE|CELL]] and [[RSX]]
3034 is triggered when Bit calibration, also known as BitTraining, cannot complete correctly. So it is not limited to a singular cause. BGA defects from thermal cycling, drop damage, pulling force from separating the heat sink from the processors while disassembling, or delidding can occur. The bumps on CPU, GPU, or SB can fail, Flex IO traces that connect them can be broken/scratched, or accumulated damage from wear and tear (electromigration) can also cause BitTraining to fail. Anything that can disrupt the impedance of the FlexIO can cause BitTraining to fail. A skilled technician will need to use deductive reasoning to diagnose the cause and choose the appropriate repair.
 
A qualitative test known as a "pressure test" may be used to help make a diagnosis. Applying slight pressure, within reason (not your body weight or clamping force which could cause a BGA defect), to the processor flexes the motherboard beneath the BGA and "may" temporarily reconnect a solder ball with it's pad. Like holding 2 wires together. This can cause flickering on screen, a console to power on when it couldn't before, etc. If the console or error responds differently when pressure is applied, this may be taken as  evidence of a BGA defect. It is not definitive, but tips the odds in favor of that diagnosis. A reball in that case may be successful. However, if it does not respond to pressure is not likely to be the BGA and another explanation, such as bumps are more likely. It should be noted that bumps can be affected by force as well, but because the underfill supports them, it generally requires more force to reconnect them using this method. This is what the "Bolt mod," commonly performed on the XBOX 360 did. That much force permanently deforms the motherboard and causes irreparable damage. DO NOT DO THIS! But it illustrates the point. You don't need much force to see if the BGA is affected and if it responds to light pressure, it's unlikely to be the bumps. Therefore, taken together with other clues, it can be helpful to a skilled technician gathering evidence for a diagnosis.
 
In consoles with a 90nm [[RSX]] (CECH-Axx/Bxx/Cxx/Exx/Gxx/Hxx, M03 and Q00 models) the most likely cause of a 3034 is the GPU itself. It can be replaced with another 90nm RSX without modification. However, it can also be replaced with a more reliable 65nm or 40nm model, using a process nicknamed a "Frankenstein Mod." SONY service technicians performed this modification in some officially refurbished consoles. The PS3 community has developed a method as well. Since there is a question about the 90nm RSX's reliability and both a reball and Frankenstein mod require the 90nm to be desoldered, it is advisable to replace the 90nm GPU with a more reliable model instead of risking another 90nm GPU. Rework is hard on the motherboard and surrounding components, so choosing a repair with the fewest uncertainty's is wise.
 
In models without the 90nm RSX, 3034 is still possible, but far less likely to be caused by the GPU. CPU BGA defects are common in dropped consoles, those that have been delidded or have trace damage to the area around the processors. So troubleshooting is necessary to make a diagnosis.

A0523041 only reported once. Step #s 50-60 are when Southbridge paripherals are initialized. Step 52 is the last step before 60, when the flash and controller (SS2) are initialized. A0603040 will occur. Speculation: Perhaps 3041 is related to the SS2 or another SB paripheral. Perhaps a flash solder connection, or corruption issue. We don't know. Too few reports.

*This error codes seems to be repeated up to 5 times for 5 special cases, as example, errors 4'''0'''01, 4'''1'''01, 4'''2'''01, 4'''3'''01, 4'''4'''01 are related to CELL, the only thing that changes in the error code is the second digit (located immediatly after the category). If at some point we find what means that digit we can join the wiki page sections together (with titles: "4001, 4101, 4201, 4301, 4401", etc...)

In recent times, this error has been known for the CPU (CELL), but it is actually due to an error in the NOR of the Playstation 3 SLIM/SUPER SLIM. Due to a failure when performing the exploit, you can end up having a console Bricked, for this use E3 FLASHER, Tennsy.etc
{{Hardware Modification}}<noinclude>[[Category:Main]]</noinclude>
 
For 3XXX, 4XXX consoles, the BRICK WITH Tennsy can be solved. in 4XXX keep in mind that the NOR can be emmc (12GB) therefore it will not be possible to solve it (for now...)
 
for Super Slim reflow or reball RSX
