PS3 YLOD repair diagnostics
Hi.
At first, sorry for my bad english, my native language is Russian/Ukrainian.
I'm been repairing xboxes for some time, but now I'm interested more in ps3 service/development.
As known it's easy to find out error code of broken xbox360 by pressing scan+eject. But what about PS3? There's only YLOD... Yes, most recent problem is cold solder joint under CELL/RSX/RAM that need a reflow or reball, but what if you don't know what previously was with system? For example full brick/currupted nand after installing Waninkoko CFW on Fat PS3. Doing reflow/reball in that case will be extremly stupid and useless work...
So for now is there a some feature to make diadnostic and know what wrong with YLOD PS3? As far as I know there is no instructions released to public, so maby we could find out some and collect in this topic. Sony's ex-employe help will be great... :D
Also backward-compatible ps3 with YLOD while startup blinking twice at MS Duo card slot like trying to read/write. I think it's exactly for that purpose.
More info at this will be also great.

First instruction is how to test if YLOD Power-Supply related.
Here is pretty accurate instructions found on youtube
