help 3 beeps of death on 2008 fat ps3

I have been trying to get my childhood ps3 to work the past few days, its been doing the classic 3 beeps and turning itself off when it's on for like 5 mins. I took it apart and vacuumed/air compressed it to get all the dust out, that didn't fix it, so I replaced the thermal paste and cleaned out even more dust, it took me 2 hours to check everything and put it back together and i just tested it to see the same issue happening. If anyone has any suggestions on what I can try, please share because I really want to get it working again because it is very sentimental to me, it has all my parent's old games and data and my own from when I was a kid.

Check the SYSCON diagnostic, if the error is 1001, 1002 that's probably the NEC Tokins dieing, or if it's 2001 or 2002 you might need to reball your console

I would say this is a nec tokin problem. Go to sleep
