Thanks to Nebeel and an anonymous comment for giving me the idea.<br /><br />To solve the problem, I completely removed the silver ribbon cable that goes between the wireless/network card and the motherboard. I lightly rubbed the silver contacts on the cable with a pencil eraser until they shined. After wiping the eraser bits off with a cloth, I used a Q-Tip with rubbing alcohol for a final cleaning.<br /><br />When putting the cable back in, make sure it is seated completely in the connector and tight. NOTE: The black pressure bar for the motherboard connector is different. You pull up to release the cable and press down towards motherboard to set it.<br /><br />Also, take care when replacing the wireless antenna cable. Make sure it is seated properly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353108502130670225.post-87093199490036239092013-05-05T11:02:03.916-07:002013-05-05T11:02:03.916-07:00This is for that error code the ribbon.

I took it apart last night, but I didnt fix anything! still turns on, but can't connect to internet! My 80G looks different than the 60G on the youtube video of ppl taking them apart! Anyone know which piece in the 80G is the network cable?? cuz the antenna wire is alot shorter and underneath the power supply (not in front above the uSB ports) like the older models. so I didn't know what to check for network cable when I got under there, I justpushed and turned lightly on antenna cable like the youtube video said.

I just wanted to say that i had the YLOD and ive fixed it due to the help of ps3lightsfix.com and you, the creator of this post.<br />I repaired the motherboard then turned the system on. It came on but was unable to connect to the psn. I kept getting the above mentioned error code. I googled and found this post. I then saw the pics you had up of another guy with the same problem. I opened the system and bingo! the plug was not in corrctly for the internet. My human error when putting the ps3 back together. I was seriously about to throw the ps out the window. <br />Cheers for that.

I got another replacement and the error did not appear but PS3 behaved same as before, controllers took a very long time to connect, Wired/Wireless did not work. I rebooted the PS3, same thing, tried to reformat and the error came back. Now I am really lost, 3 different boards and 3 different antennas, none fixed the issue. My friend says it might be the ribbon cable that connects the wifi board to the main motherboard but I cannot find a replacement ribbon cable online. All the wifi boards I got came out of an 80gb PS3 model CECHK01. I also read somewhere online that taking out the BIOS battery might fix the issue but I do not know where the battery is.
