Hi, can anyone help me? I follewed the guide step by step, and it worked for like 5 hours, then back to ylod :O helpp? shalli just give it one more go?
@CallOfDutyHero123 Yes to prevent the old thermal compound from melting on to the traces or on connections. Use only alcohol, or recommended cleaners. Hope that helps you out. :D
My PS3 repair went off without a hitch! Exactly like in your DIY video. I am so impressed by and grateful for your help, advice, and instruction! I was able to retrieve my "lost" SKYRIM data and transfer it onto another PS3. No problem...
Hi jilksy, I'm from Malvern too, I am having trouble with my ps3 and was wondering if you would have a look at it for a price? Would be much appreciated, can get me on here or my email is chrisnpilch@hotmail.co.uk
@nofear31126 I know. The best thing about it is 8 person cross game chat, I use it everyday and it's very convenient. Also, I don't pay for it monthly, I pay $40/year because I go to amazon and I find 12 month cards for cheaper. It's really a shame how PSN won't be getting this feature on the PS3 it's really nice to have.
You can play forza motorsports on xbox360 and not ps3, and it's way better than gran turismo. It's the only reason I have xbox!
And the speaking from experience, it's much easier to fix an xbox, and the last time I had to fix my xbox was 2 years ago, stupid ps3 needs fixing about every month or two.. It's not really worth it to me anymore..
OYE QUE PASO CON EL VIDEO DONDE MUESTRAS LOS DEL CALOR CON LA PISTOLA TERMICA QUE LO SUPRIMISTE Y ES EL PASO MAS IMPORTANTE , O LO TIENES CON OTRO NOMBRE ,
I have repaired two using these videos for instructions and working on a third now. The first one I repaired about two years ago and it still works fine being played on almost a daily basis. Thank you Gilksy!
this is solution is not stable, i dont suggest you guys to this, what i suggest is reballing, but it requires high quality equipments and techical knowledge.
@Mzakhri no because you need to melt the parts that were cracked during the over heating and the heat gun would melt them back together but at the same time you don't want to do it for too long as you might fry the motherboard and then you would be screwed
After removing the four fan assembly screws my fan assembly is still firmly attached. Does this mean that the heat sink compound is still intact? FYI my take down was slightly easier than yours.
The only things I've ever opened and fixed were a VCR and a PS2. The VCR worked fine until DVD made it obsolete. The PS2 worked for a week then completely died. I'm not an electrician-y genius, but I opened them up and stared for a while and did random things and they worked again.
Thanks Gilksy, i found your guide to be really helpful and through checking the heatsink pads there was actually one missing! Great videos and thanks again.
All people who are bigging up the xbox and the wii... just stfu.
@justinsn95: of course the ps3 is a much more powerful system. And yet I believe 60% of those consoles failed. Theres obviously much more hardware in the PS3 as its all packed tightly then the little xbox, so your biting off a Tbone rather then some bacon rashers. Yes fk you xbox fans your console is comparable to bacon rashers.
@M4rkC93 Are you retarded? The PS3 Can still beat all except the very best PCs out there. And LIKE YOU SAID ITS STILL 7 YEARS OUT OF DATE? HUH? Go have a steak mate.
@redslzy go have a steak what? but anyway, i didn't want to get into an argument just pointing out that your not so high and mighty, but here goes, the ps3 has no games that cannot be run on the xbox and the xbox has nothing the ps3 cant run, ok fair enough the ps3 has blu rays and some games the xbox has to split into multiple disks, and the very best pc's out there? no i have a pc that would not be considered the very best yet its still way better than an xbox and ps3 (i have xbox and ps3)
Umm.. ok you find me a pc with 3.2 ghz with 8 microprocessing engines? What I find most laughable is the multi disc games that you play on xbox... wtf? Thats what we had on playstation 1. Granted the xbox isnt bad, but theres heaps of games you can play on ps3 that you can't play on xbox, find me a game that you can play on xbox but you cant play on ps3 (excluding the kinect) I have to admit we got fucked on that one.
@M4rkC93 another thing people xseem to champion on the xbox is its easy user interface? I'm like what the fuck? Xbox is fucking complicated as balls and the background makes me feel on an acid trip? Ps3 is so much easier, press triangle you get a menu, xmb is straightforward, if your stupid to think that music has videos or that internet has system settings your the idiot. I'm not saying you said this, I just know its a thing people say the xbox has over the ps3.
Thanks gilksy1...I followed your guide here and my YLOD is no more. Works fine and tested it on Call of the Dead with 4 people into the late 20's. That is a true test there and it worked like a charm.
Just a side note to other people testing this..When I was finished, I did not hook up the networking card good enough, so I was unable to get online and had to open her back up and tighten the ribbons. So, just be careful there and make sure everything is snug,,or you will get the network error
Help!! I have the 80gb one of the first ps3s...My heat sink compound that connected to the fan and the metal..Built in with it you could say..Wat do I Do?
View my channel for a STEP BY STEP guide on how you can FIX YOUR PS3 in less than an hour! WITHOUT the need for Heat Guns, Voiding your Warranty, or wasting any of your TIME or MONEY!
@booguh2k7 Yes it absolutely can. The best type of thermal compound to use is Arctic Silver 5. Use this only on the GPU and CPU (the chips that Gilky cleans in this video with rubbing alcohol)...you'll want enough compound on each chip so you can spread it evenly, and you only want enough to spread a thin layer that covers each chip. Spread it with an old credit card or something else that's plastic, flat and firm yet bendable. Don't use too much compound because that can cause shorts in system
@PlayerVersusMe Same here. The actual small port box came out with it. I tried putting the wires in (tested and tried both) but still get the no clock charge. I have to manually put it in everytime the ps3 is shut from plug.
Althought this is still not enough to play demos or use the downloaded content, they require internet sync.. time in order to function.
Is a real pain, especially when the internet connection gets DSN errors.
Just "fixed" my PS3 for the 3rd time. It still takes me 3 hours but it gets the job done for at least a lil while. And when get a lil confused I refer to Mr. gilksy. Each time I have more and more extra screws... hahah
fixing mine for the third time also.why does it continue? you would think if its fixed once it should be good for a couple of years,right? right now i am alittle pissed with sony. i will NEVER go xbox. SONY TILL I DIE!!!!!!!!hahahahahha
@franconegonzalez Got a good deal a new slim, so I caved in. This is like putting a band aid on a bullet wound. My older fat boy still works but I got tired of having to repair it. The novelty of me being technical wore off... quick. Gonna try and see if I can slide one passed Game Stop with the older one. Hopefully they won't know I hacked mine... would love to get 100 clams for the piece of shit.

Gophermods fixed it for me last time but I'm attempting it with a friend tomorrow y ourselves. Quick question, I dont want to lose all my data, thats why I sent it to Gophermods in the first place. Will removing the hard drive while its off like in this tutorial reformat the drive when its reinserted?
Ive herd changing the thermal pads helps the fix last longer, anyone know where I can get ones that are the same size as the ones in the PS3 and are good quality
@04ayasin the thermal pads aren't even being used anymore I heard. I looked around for them here in NYC and no one had them or would supply them (a small computer store refused because he wanted me to pay him to fix it). As long as you have something on the board, you're fine.
i found it much easier just getting the guide from this site. O_o it beats paying 50 bucks at repair shop, or screwing up ur ps3 at home d39b9231z4hmio3i2tnaatdy3r(D0T)hop(DOT)clickbank(DOT)net/
Put that in the url bar above ^^ Very Cheep reliable too.
errr just lift the fan unit off... lol are u sure, mines screwed in from the inside i have to remove the mobo to even get to hte screws... are u sure we are looking at hte same ps3?
i'm at the part where you unscrew the hard drive. i accidentally wore out the screws. how can i still extract them. PLEASE I NEED HELP WITH THIS, DO I NEED TO TAKE IT SOMEWHERE!!!
@kingseyi Do you still have the blue screw intact ? If so don't worry, I think you just need the blue screw in. If that isn't the case just screw the smaller ones in by turning the head with a small pair of pliers. I stripped one of those damn super soft screws and had to do it this way. It's difficult and takes MUCH longer but it's still possible !
Awesome demo on the ps3 how to fix the YLOD! I would like to say you did pretty good job on it and it was very professional! You seem to know what your doing and that makes people happy because now you teach them on how to fix the YLOD on the ps3! Awesome job Gilksy!!!!! A+++
i just wanna say thank you a lot ,u saved my,now working perfectly, i managed to save everything from ps3, save block,acc ,thank you very very much :)
So check this out, I got to this part and I noticed at 5:06 that there are 5 heat sinc pads on the board. I seem to have only 3. So maybe that has something to do with overheating. Mine was even brought in for a redux as of 2008 when the bluray failed, so when fixing it they must not have replaced the two missing pads. Off to the store!!
@justinsn95 i actually heard the xbox was harder but i cant speak from experience the ps3 is very easy to take apart the only thing is youll need to use a guide or label the parts
@dasin7 actually xbox is less complicated if you know what you're doing. however everyone i know with an xbox has had to take it apart 3+ times before i'm just now having to take apart my ps3 for the first time since they came out.
@skater7744 yea same here man mine lasted about 4 yrs just looking at my xbox now i cant tell I just misunderstood the guy who fixed a few he said it was hard his first time getting in to it but yea he said the same thing ps3 is a bit more complicated but its no very hard to fix i successfully fixed ylod but my bluray is shot from physical damage
My ps3 didn't have the 2 large heatsinks from 5:05 on those chips, it is a 60gb version, was anybody else's like that? I have the 5 other smaller heatsinks but not those 2 big ones... is that just this model? should I try to buy those somewhere?
@parsonsproject2 Interesting. I just opened mine to find the 2 big sinks but I'm missing two of the small plastic like ones on the board. Crapy Sony repairs.
@Tatazildo There's no such thing as regular alcohol, the term "alcohol" simply defines a group of organic chemicals with a hydroxyl group blah blah, I'm not going to get into a chemistry lesson, but all you need to know is that isopropyl alcohol is more commonly referred to as "rubbing alcohol". If you have rubbing alcohol, you have isopropyl alcohol. If you don't have it, you could probably get it from your local corner drug or grocery store. I would not recommend acetone. Hope I helped :)
@Tatazildo Actually I'll clarify further, I shouldn't have said that all rubbing alcohols are isopropyl. Although it is more rare, ethyl alcohol is sometimes sold as rubbing alcohol. It'll say on the front of the bottle you have, just give the label a quick check :)
I am thinking of attempting this to have a spare PS3 for cheap, but the biggest problem is I am useless when first trying to fix something plus the cost of a heat gun etc.
I can build PC's etc so guess this isnt much harder just wanted your opinion.
Please help!! what is that liquid that you use to clean the square thingys on 5:53

Will removing the hard drive while its off like in this tutorial reformat the drive when its reinserted?

Ive herd changing the thermal pads helps the fix last longer, anyone know where I can get ones that are the same size as the ones in the PS3 and are good quality
04ayasin 11 months ago
@04ayasin the thermal pads aren't even being used anymore I heard. I looked around for them here in NYC and no one had them or would supply them (a small computer store refused because he wanted me to pay him to fix it). As long as you have something on the board, you're fine.

i'm at the part where you unscrew the hard drive. i accidentally wore out the screws. how can i still extract them. PLEASE I NEED HELP WITH THIS, DO I NEED TO TAKE IT SOMEWHERE!!!

@kingseyi Do you still have the blue screw intact ? If so don't worry, I think you just need the blue screw in. If that isn't the case just screw the smaller ones in by turning the head with a small pair of pliers. I stripped one of those damn super soft screws and had to do it this way. It's difficult and takes MUCH longer but it's still possible !

After reflowing my ps3 2 times, the second time I got ylod within 5 minutes.
I took my bluray drive out and the ylod went away, I put it back in and it came back.
I tried this several times and to the same effect. I replaced my bluray and it was back to normal.
Also, to get my fifa game back, I unscrewed the top panel, lifted the centre magnet off and eased the game out of the drive, simple.

So check this out, I got to this part and I noticed at 5:06 that there are 5 heat sinc pads on the board. I seem to have only 3. So maybe that has something to do with overheating. Mine was even brought in for a redux as of 2008 when the bluray failed, so when fixing it they must not have replaced the two missing pads. Off to the store!!

My ps3 didn't have the 2 large heatsinks from 5:05 on those chips, it is a 60gb version, was anybody else's like that? I have the 5 other smaller heatsinks but not those 2 big ones... is that just this model? should I try to buy those somewhere?

@parsonsproject2 Interesting. I just opened mine to find the 2 big sinks but I'm missing two of the small plastic like ones on the board. Crapy Sony repairs.

can I use acetone or regular alcohol instead of isopropanol?
Tatazildo 1 year ago
@Tatazildo There's no such thing as regular alcohol, the term "alcohol" simply defines a group of organic chemicals with a hydroxyl group blah blah, I'm not going to get into a chemistry lesson, but all you need to know is that isopropyl alcohol is more commonly referred to as "rubbing alcohol". If you have rubbing alcohol, you have isopropyl alcohol. If you don't have it, you could probably get it from your local corner drug or grocery store. I would not recommend acetone. Hope I helped :)
leimeisei909 1 year ago
@Tatazildo Actually I'll clarify further, I shouldn't have said that all rubbing alcohols are isopropyl. Although it is more rare, ethyl alcohol is sometimes sold as rubbing alcohol. It'll say on the front of the bottle you have, just give the label a quick check :)

I am thinking of attempting this to have a spare PS3 for cheap, but the biggest problem is I am useless when first trying to fix something plus the cost of a heat gun etc.
I can build PC's etc so guess this isnt much harder just wanted your opinion.
