How to Fix PS3 OVERHEAT (YLOD) easy Part 2

[dragondarksoul7]

Crazy mutha fucka

[Shawn17WiFi]

DUDE THIS VIDEO IS FAKE!!!! DONT EVER USE A HEAT GUN TO HEAT UP YOUR SERCUIT BOARD, THUMBS UP SO EVERYONE SEES!

[QuantumLeap365]

@Shawn17WiFi You're a retard.

[invinciblec1]

you are very clever young man kudos to you.

[MultiChristian98]

dose it realy work if it dose then i dont want to take it apart cas what if i cant put it back together

[1MPER1ALASSaSIN69]

was it just me, or near the end of the video, did you hear cod mw2 S&D in the background?

[d0ubleEproductions]

I wish you showed how to put it all back together.....

[chewy1s21]

solder and reconnect the CPU to the mother board then new Heat Sink Grease to keep it cool so it doesnt heat up and separate again ... all the "uhhh mmm see hmmm uhh that thing ahh mm " was driving me nuts man

[chewy1s21]

the white stuff he cleaned off is Heat Sink its a type of grease that connect the fan to the CPU so that the fan can cool the CPU better, the reason why you put new heat sink "grease" is because the type that Sony used was crap so it didnt draw the heat out of the CPU to cool it well enough causing CPU to heat up and causing the solder that connects the CPU to the mother board to get to hot, melt and separate the CPU from the motherboard , thats why he`s heating up the CPU so that it`ll melt the

[VocalTrance842317109]

@chewy1s21 it's called "Thermal Paste" or "Thermal Grease" (depending where you buy it)

[maxbrpgvm]

do you know ,what you doing???

[Zone2WaR]

can u use a foodstamp card?

[Shu577]

what is that white liquid stuff

[101gamesolver]

I have the 40gb ps3 model and a relative did mine for me, he did it like you did yet it only lasted about 3months and it seemed completely fine throughout, it just turned off when I was downloading a game and when I tried to turn it back on I got the YLOD yet AGAIN! He'd done it on other consoles and he aid they'd lasted about a year and a half, so I guess I was unlucky :( Is there any long term fix for the YLOD? Thumbs up if you want to know too :)

[slamkam07]

@101gamesolver yeah YLOD means the cpu overheated meaning the fan is probably failing or you left it on for too long. You can maybe put in a new fan, or clean the fan out or just buy a new PS3.

[101gamesolver]

@slamkam07 do you think it would last if I got a new fan for it? 

[slamkam07]

@101gamesolver most likely. i dont see why it wouldnt, 

[VocalTrance842317109]

@101gamesolver looks like the long-term fix is one of two things:

1) keep PS3 upside-down, or

2) make an air-conditioned box to keep the PS3 nice and cool.

[redroosterfreddy]

@101gamesolver You should of said @TechInformers in your comment before what you said too just incase they would know as well. =)

[MonstaJamesTV]

What's in that stick is it glue?

[ownedya666]

@MonstaJamesTV no, don't try that!:P It's Thermal Paste, look it up @ google:]

[batty642]

you are not playing mw2 in the background.....

[dabarnes31]

is that glue

[dabarnes31]

thanks



[tito2694]

What if i don't use thermal paste?

[phantomhacker90]

@tito2694 you need to use thermal paste !!!!

[dabarnes31]

where do u get the heat gun

[OwlyEagles]

@dabarnes31 a heat gun is for painting and flooring type deals. you can go to wal mart and look in th epaint section. anypalce with hardware or place with a paint section. wal mart carries it for like $19 bucks. that's wher ei got mine.

[dabarnes31]

can u blow dry the ps3

[EngageTheTatie]

If a heatsink is going on top of those processors then you shouldn't be spreading out the cooling paste prior because it won't get a proper seal onto the heatsink.

[idnurxx]

Not helpful at all you don't even know what your talking about REDNECK.....

[HoHAGGIS]

its prounounced as its spelled, you retard

simple as that lol

[amiedsaimy]

excuse me.....what things you put like liquid on the ps3 cpu...may i know???^^

[Goku111678]

wut was the name of the thermal compound

[redogsal]

@Goku111678 this video is abit old, i suggest arctic cooling mx-2 as if you get any on the board then your system will not break as there is no metal in the compound

[Goku111678]

@Ringoluck since u did the repaur im curious, wut thermal compound did he use, i need the name so i can found out wut its is to do mine

[elpueblano009]

how hot should the heat gun be?

[moneyj2123]

what type of heating gun please let me know n how long dose it last if we do this

[MrRichieIII]

@elude2 lol right he grabs it all slow in disbelief

[HoHAGGIS]

It's not technobabble numb nut's its called having an opinion, and maybe even advice. Overheating a component is a good way to destroy it, Using a cheep temp probe, cost as little as £10 is a must IMO as you need to get the solder up to a certain temperature for it too re-flow. Also TechInformers have you checked out the price of Re-flow Ovens and Tool's on Ebay ect ? You can pick them up very cheeply, fix few of your mates PS3, XBox's ect and it will pay for its self many times over.

[Markeb9418]

oh yea on the plates I brased it with a lighter torch worked great but make sure u move it around like he does

[Markeb9418]

This guy got his fixin down 2 thumbs up thanks for the know how dude!!!! 

[elude2]

6:13  Dad: "Damn you little punk ...this is the 6 th visa card you have ruined this week!" ...haha cool vid btw, thanks.

[lt1dame]

thanks homie



[lt1dame]

that shyt works u get about 2 months out of it

[V3g3T4r14nZ0mB13]

I have a blow dryer which goes upto around 180-190 degrees celsius, will that work?

[doomer1987]

can you use a blow dryer to heat the bord because i dont have a heat gun

[Qrazey]

So you fix an overheated PS3... by overheating it? This is a contradiction!

[VocalTrance842317109]

@Qrazey when it overheats, it melts the solder holding the cpu to the motherboard. By applying heat, you help to re-solver the cpu back to the motherboard. In theory you could just turn the PS3 upside down and leave it on, and it would do the same thing.

[crod23243]

@Qrazey yea its funny how that works, u have to heat it up to fix it because it over heated lol

[AwesomelyAmazinFilms]

MW2 in the background lol?

[tinkletoesrus]

i have had the very 1st ps3 that came out and i dont need to do this shit , you probably dont have it ventilated properly or leaving it on for stupid amount of hours like this gay boys who dont have a life playing battlefield to like level 30 spec ops. pft

get the hoover on the shit

[odienez11]

This worked for me. thanks so much! and btw that "stuff" is called solder

[ms20040303]

and like uhhh

[EvisceratedAlpha]

Thanks for the help and the post. Got this issue last week, and so far so good. As for all you guys saying this is a very stupid or unprofessional bandaid fix, and then spouting technobabble to make yourselves sound cool (using temp probes, reballing the solder, how fragile ICs and the PCB is, spouting the melting point of solder) consider this. The alternative is to throw the machine away, or take it to a shop and paying who knows how much to fix it....

[EvisceratedAlpha]

... take a risk, and give it a try. What do you have to lose. The machine isn't working away. And, I work on PCBs with BGA devices as part of my job. Unless you have an Onyx ZEVAC or DRS-22 Air-Vac handy, this is the only way to go. You can, and we have where I work, reflowed BGA devices using a hot air gun. Yes, you need to take care. No, most ICs are not so heat sensitive they will burn up. They probably went through a reflow oven that was as hot, if not hotter, than this heat gun.

[awaceplex]

I didnt think it was those NVIDIA voodoo balls! but also ONLINE ON ebay there is a place who has a $10,000 machine to reflow chips after remove old chip get known good 1 &replace it costs about $120 but at least it works. I sold 2ndsystem for$5.00 way before china floods hardrive prices were low! should have kept but was free! .

I still have the other one i took the blueray brdom out of it from and it still 2.76 and works online no plays utube fullscreen and legos.& petiteboot linux ubunto

[Ringoluck]

Got the YLOD today. Tried this repair, and it worked great! Thank you for posting this.

[HoHAGGIS]

OMG !!!!!!

LOL, great way to fry the board, you at very least should be using a temp probe, Lazer pointer IR one and your looking to reflow the solder IE: melt the solder. Lifting or moving the board is not a good idear as the solder will basicly run down the board

and for our American buddies out there Solder had a L in it ...It's SOLDER not SODDER, you bunch of numptie's... say after me L, L, L, LLLL thats right SOLDER, SoLLLLLder not Sodder, if you cant say it right then sodder your mouth up.

[Justajawnie]

@HoHAGGIS

You stupid brits crack me up. And aluminum is pronounced Al-oom-a-num, not a-lew-mi-nee-əm. If you cant say it right then smack yourself in the head with a bar of aluminum.

[EngageTheTatie]

@Justajawnie We spell it as Aluminium.

[MastaP7777]

@Justajawnie So you are trying to teach us our own language? It's called English for a reason, not American...Our language so whatever we say goes...Why don't you speak Navajo or Cherokee, the real American languages, and then you can call aluminium whatever the fuck you want...and by the way we owners of the language you borrow spell ALUMINIUM with an I after the N...our way so the real way

[therealfixmaster]

This not the right way to fix these game systems. There is no control. There is alot of room for error. Even reflowing with professional equipment which a heat gun isnt its only temporaray. This is very stupid non professional bandaid. It does more damage than good. Yea it may work but only for a little while. Just to show the lack of knowledge these guys posses 90% of the time its just the gpu. The only true way to fix these is reballing.

[rami416]

@therealfixmaster What do u mean by reballing

[PeronMiles]

@therealfixmaster oh! cause you just found out!

[TYRONEBIGGLES]

if this and all else fails, then follow plan B! get a job, buy new ps3. profit???

[dphilipson2131]

I tried it and failed. it's now in a trash bag, but i'm going to make a cutting laser with the blue ray crystal. so it's all good. also that beeping you heard was MW3 in the background....

[bovineleaf232]

There is a beeping sound in the back around are you giving it surgery.

[19LAZYBOii92]

HEY WHATS THAT SHIT YOU PUT ON IT???



[MrDave709]

I didn't get it why you heated it...?

[TheFirewalker28]

Idiot.. My god. I would delete this video...

[goatymcgoats]

lol how many times can you say "heat those up" in one film. LOL umm...get the .....uhhh.....I dunno.....stuff?.....uhhh....d­unno what im doing.....heat it up...just heat it up XD

[andrew09211]

my gun goes 1112F so around 20 seconds was good enough for me, u need to change thermal pads too.

[memphetic]

@andrew09211 Solder reflows at 210-225 degrees celcius.. or around 430F... good way to fry your IC's though.

[andrew09211]

@memphetic right! thats why it still works after fixing it

[klower185]

what kind of glue do u use?

[MrCornishtommy]

@klower185 not glue, thermal paste.

[calito0010]

WHERE I CAN GET THE arctic silver ceramique thermal paste compound?

[MrCornishtommy]

@calito0010 online mate.

[Milanrafi]

HEY..

I did all the steps but i didn´t worked for me??

What should I do?

[illusive90]

@Milanrafi You have to reflow the chips with liquid flux. There are alot tutorials on it for the xbox 360, essentially you just do the same thing but with the ps3 chips. Puting on just thermal compound wont fix the ylod as it is only a heat conductor.

[Milanrafi]

@illusive90 HEy

I used thermal paste GREASE on the on but i didnt´worked?

What should I do now?

[EvisceratedAlpha]

@Milanrafi Rinse and repeat.

[KreeperCiller]

lol relly MW2 in the backround... idk if i trust u -.-

[ddtave]

Somebody is playing Modern Warfare in the background lmao. That better not be the playstation that you are going to show that works at the end and the one you really worked on is still broken lol. I'm skeptical on that blow drying thing.

[djmilo2]

4:55 the bomb has been planted!!!

[deadlypalms]

Use the blob in the centre method for the thermal compound and it'll last much longer - it spreads automatically when the fan is replaced.

[darthvador0]

GUYS HIS PS3 ID USERNAME IS NYyanke24 LETS ALL ADD HIM :)

[harrisuniverz43]

@kebn1000 lmao

[3NTINV]

good for about a month...

[Fallout1Boi]

@thePS3geeks

Now ima definitely do it this way

[DelSolSea]

all about smoking a blunt yahhhhuhaaaaa, someone please take that thermal past away from this boy he's got no clue what he's doing. Also do your self a favor and find a highly professional grade of thermal compound thus improving the longevity of this type of fix to your PS3. If done properly there is no reason for this not to be a solid long time fix to the issue.

[DelSolSea]

This dude is fuking high and really has no idea what he's doing! You be better off watching a professional instruction for better results!

[StormyGoldbeast]

Yo dude, is that heat gun even necessary??

if so.. please explain fully why.

[Milanrafi]

is the glue necessary??

wil it work without the glue??

[R3ST1NP1SS]

Between 2:10-2:15 hes says its a TEMPORARY FIX....not permanent.....so chances r if u play alot u will have to do this again or buy a new one....im not to sure if there are other ways to get it fixed longer or permanently....im sure there is....best advice is to hit up a pc repair place n ask them

[tyrickisbeasty]

is this permanent?

[bluetheunknown]

can you use silver thermal to the cpu?

[Ramey310]

what if u dont heat it ?

[augarte100]

my ps3 tuns den a yellow ish lite comes on then turns bck off nd red lite juss blinks...do i still have too do this?? help

[HuskerHistorian]

The blow dryer worked for me. 20 minutes on hot against the back vent. Then 20 minutes on cool. Time consuming , but it worked!

[andrew09211]

@HuskerHistorian for how long?

[andrew09211]

@augarte100 yes dude

[quasard100]

did you use Artic silve 5? or another thermal thing?

[Rubentje2]

@quasard100 he didn't artic silver isn't white

[Riddell042168]

How long dose this work for ???

[iamsupermanuc]

i did OVEN method 415 degrees for 9 min..... Also dont forget to use Liquid FLUX to condition the solder under the processors

[aaron119982]

whats the white thing he put on?

[gundambob646]

@aaron119982 Thermal paste. Its used to transfer heat from the processor or gpu to the heatsink. then the heat skin fins disperse the heat.

[khmerboy31329]

I'm going to try and use a blow dryer. Some people don't have HEAT GUNS!

[PTSTUD87]

@khmerboy31329 joi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[heatfilter]

Holy solder balls!

[Mrfields232]

the stuf.f lol I got tha stuff u got the stuff? Yeah I got the stuff.

[shwy23]

ps3 on sd tv is a sin

[StormyGoldbeast]

@shwy23 look dude, not everyone is a fucking millionaire, chill the fuck out with your bullshit.

[shwy23]

@StormyGoldbeast go to bed millionaire huh fuckin child eat shit 480i

[nowingman1980]

thanks



[JOHNPHUFNAGEL]

the whole purpose of the heat sink is to keep the cpu from over heating when you take a heat gun and heat the cpu up BEWARE that you could cook the cpu from getting to hot, If you are trying to resolder the connections the heat should be applyed to the back side of the board where the cpu is soldered to the board not the front like he shows

[kangri08]

so u have some border the line smart ppl here who recommend reballing but none give any info on how or where to get it done thanx a whole lot for nothing assholes im trying this methed tomorrow even tho my girl getting me a ps3 4 xmas along wit a Gopro camera so i can do some videos driving around in my evo x.lol cant play needforspeed i'll just jump in my car and flash my lights at ppl so they can race me. haha..

[gundambob646]

@kangri08 Well reballing means you need to replace the whole processor to reball it. Its far more complicated.

[MrReview11]

Tttttttthhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaann­nnnnnnnnnnkkkkkkkkkkkkksssssss­ssssssss

[wicho99w99]

lol dont! fucking play whit that! 6:15

[kebn1000]

@wicho99w99 haha :D best comment xD

[wicho99w99]

@kebn1000 xD

[Mrstupidcommentbelow]

STOP SAYING ''heat it up'' it get's really annoying after 30 times

[Chi4evr]

wat gb do u have?



[MrZorki20]

cheers man it worked, i think mine went just because i move mine into a cupboard after ive played and the moevment must have unattached something while the parts were still hot. had my ps3 6 years now no problems so this was a bit of a shock, thanks alot for your video.

[TheWargod66]

Is it have to to be artic silver or artic white?

[longhorndb]

great video thank you - Fry's also carries the heat paste.

[JandK69r]

Do you still have your saved data on it or is that all gone once you get ylod

[casio1987vd]

Hahaha:

1) You are doing it wrong;

2) You need to prevent YLOD, not curing it;

IF you got YLOD in the first 15 min of booting, while already applied new thermal paste the CORRECT way (unlike him), then the lead free soldier joints need to be reballed. Anything else is bandaid aka short term solution. The YLOD will come back, unless you use lead solder.

Thumbs up for the REAL solution. Don't be a retard!

[SN34KY100]

thermal paste it comes in like a grey colour too i think

[xKAOZxBoNkerZx]

Wats Tht White Stuff Called?

[Kris89szczecin]

only stupid people do this. you need reballing not these shitty metod. if it works, im sure not for long time, max, 1 month and your console will dead and noone will repair it

[PS3REPAIRGUY]

@Kris89szczecin  I completely agree. here..here...

[usedgarar]

Dontgetmork. Really man You can not use a hair dryer u need a heat gun. Go buy one and return it as soon as u finish thats what i did and it worked perfect now i help my friend with the YRED light fault for free its fun good luck man.

[harrisuniverz43]

Somebody is playing Modern Warfare in da back ground..yall here it!! 4:30-4:55

[sariH512]

@harrisuniverz43 hear** =_=

[kebn1000]

@harrisuniverz43 Search and destroy quickscope :D

[Maggzz15]

WHat is white compound? my ps3 overheat in 3 sec, so i think this will solve it. but that white stuff..

[TheAndreiul]

@Maggzz15 The white thing is ceramique thermal paste (non-conductive). It's about 3-4 Euros.

[ThePreGamer]

"This is pretty much guaranteed to work... Unless you mess it up." Such a win sentence.

[PTSTUD87]

@ThePreGamer hahahaha

[fatsog123]

Radio Shack has the Thermal Compound ask for that.

[AliceLivesAgain]

How hot did you get the gun too? I'm looking into one that does 600-1000 degrees Fahrenheit. What is the proper temp for it?

[lionpress999]

@AliceLivesAgain set temperature to 350 deg

and the fan speed to low (too high and it will move the surface mount bits)

Just google for "gilksy ylod" and download the PDF guide & watch his videos on youtube

[playsafe869]

it does work with a hair dryer, that's how I fixed mine.

[gbotman1212]

how much watt does the burner have?

[fruitcamsam2]

Did anyone here Mw2 in the background

[TheKakashistyle22]

Does it have to be a heat gun or can i use a hair dryer

[Cooguy1212]

@TheKakashistyle22 Heat guns, because hair dryers do not get hot enough.

[vivaJamie]

Did he just call us a scrub at 7:07 ? 

[Thewasteofwords]

what if theres thermal compound already on the gpu and cpu do you clean it off and replace?

[dashook24]

@Thewasteofwords Clean it off and re-apply it on both, that way it has better thermal conductivity.

[spidermanvs]

do you need to use a heat gun?

[bobshirman9]

EVERYONE Add  NYyanke24!

[shootmydickoff]

WHAT WAS THAT WHITE STUFF

[023jesse]

@shootmydickoff

thermal compound, aka thermal paste

your welcome

[shootmydickoff]

@023jesse thanks man u might save my ps3 thanks



[Modiesel1286]

Applying thermal paste like that is not the best way and is taking a chance of getting air bubbles. The actual processors are in the center of the pads and are about nickel size. Applying a line directly in the middle and not all the way across then pressing the pads together and firmly and try 2 wiggle while pressing best u can is best way. And use artic silver 5 for BEST results

[classmassgrass]

Did I hear Modern Warfare at 0:31 lol

[joserod18]

@classmassgrass lol i was wondering wtf is going on, hearing gunshots and all this guy does is fix his ps3

[davidd505]

have you tried this process without heating the board up? and just doing the thermal heatsink paste? I would say if you just did that, you could avoid all the other myths about heating the board up in a oven. which makes no sense at all..
