I tried Frankenstein mod on my PS3 for the first time. This is the mod to revive your console from YLOD (syscon error 3034).

I extracted the 65nm RSX from a YLOD CECHL (syscon error 1002) in my last video.
   • Harvesting a 65nm RSX from a YLOD PS3  

Then I transplant this 65nm RSX into a YLOD CECHA (syscon error 3034) in this video.

This is my first time trying a BGA rework.

My Chinese friend helped me to order it from this website. I can't find it anywhere else.
Let me know if you can find it somewhere
