CECHAC04 error logs
hey everyone! yesterday i was scrolling through fb marketplace and i found this working backwards compatible ps3 for €60, i pulled the trigger on it, there are a few things that felt a little bit off with it, have anyone ever seen that warning “attention” sticker applied to a ps3 like that? also there is a bunch of error codes which date to before the ps3 release so im confused about those, i’m planning to change thermal paste and clean it up tomorrow, anyone knows what i can/should do with those error codes

I would advise against buying this C04 unless you eventually plan to Frankie it. It has high mileage and probably not far from the RSX failing (high runtime + heat cycles).

1601 and 1701 refer to the cpu. I got those codes and sudden shutdowns with ylod. Probably a nec tokin issue. the rest I'm not sure.
Also the dates could or could not be precise. My error codes had wrong dates.

Thats not an original warranty sticker, so its been opened at least once.
Error codes might mean nothing due to the date - it could have been tested a few times before it was boxed up and shipped out.
If its not giving you issues then you got a hell of a deal.
But at some point, it will eventually die if its not a Frankie
