You shouldn't use that type of flux, and if you want it to last, just get a pro to do it, 80$ or so and 24hrs, and you don't have to mess around with cancer-causing fumes and Sony cases, that are not designed for servicing.
i couldnt find any flux so i used Silver solder paste. brand name is "Solder-it" it cost like $5 and worked.it comes in a syringe and is a little trickier to apply then the fluxpen, I havent ran my ps3 for a game session yet as i am still putting it back together, but i am fairly certain it will last long enough for a hard drove data transfer at the very least.
i have a question, after your done with the first reflow, do u add more flux? and when do u know when its ok to use the heat gun the second time? cuz u use the heat gun twice on the front and twice on the back, by the way i dont have anything to measure temperature
You got lied to and now your PS3 may be beyond repair but you can help keep someone ells from falling victim to bad repair advice from individuals like this that have absolutely no background in electronics please visit the hgcgamersclub because This video will remove all possibility of a lasting repair for your game system or kill it flat out!

i was playing black ops and my PS3 turned off and had the blinking light and i took it apart and it was hot and dusty i did what you did and fixed it :)
@MercMaster101 While playing maybe but no, it's actually better to have it vertical so the air will flow upwards. He explains it in the first video of the tutorial
hay hi......i wanted to ask if fluxing was really neccessary if so,where is the link and ...the heat guns im finding tend to have two modes high and low are they good all the same ...i saw one buy black and decker what do you think?
Hi Scott, my name is Dee and I would like to get my sp3 fixed. I have watched your video and although it seems ezay enough to do my self i'd rather leave it to the pros. how can we go about making this happen.
I love your videos, I am not even fixing one but I like to learn and Oh, you had a chicken strolling on by at the end of the video. reminds me of home LOL
is it bad if you get some thurmal compound on the board itself. besides the RSX and Cellchip. because i was aplying the arctic silver 5 on the 2 squares(the rsx and cellchip)and i accidentally got some on the board. is that bad. if so how can i remove it.
OMG is that a chicken @ 4:16? that hardly seems like an acceptable enviroment for electronic repair, between what im assuming is a chicken and the carpet ie static generator. but many props on the videos. you seem to be doing a great job aside from the precations i would take. but again great job.
@scoeas1982 Hi Scott, My name is Don. I would like to purchase some of the flux. Could you send me a link to your ebay so I can use Paypal? Do you apply flux just one time or before each heat up? Thank You Don
