4x Tantalizer NEC Tokin Replacement – Fix YLOD Error Codes 1002 & 1001

The Tantalizer NEC Tokin Replacement is a machine-assembled PCBA solution designed to permanently replace failing NEC Tokin capacitors found in early gaming consoles affected by YLOD-related power instability. The Tantalizer NEC Tokin Replacement directly addresses common Syscon error codes 1002 and 1001, which are frequently caused by degraded NEC Tokin capacitors rather than GPU failure.

This solution provides a stable, repeatable alternative to individual capacitor replacement by consolidating high-quality tantalum capacitors into a purpose-built board. The result is improved voltage stability, reduced ripple, and restored system reliability under load.

Why choose the Tantalizer NEC Tokin Replacement

The Tantalizer NEC Tokin Replacement is designed for technicians and advanced repair projects where long-term reliability matters. Each board is machine assembled and electrically tested to ensure consistent performance. Installation replaces the original NEC Tokin capacitors entirely, eliminating a known failure point rather than masking symptoms.

This replacement is commonly used in full restoration or rebuild projects and pairs well with thermal optimization and other power stability upgrades.
