Just wanted to say THANK YOU again! My husband and I followed this video well over a year ago to fix his PS3, the fix worked for over a YEAR, much better then the 3 months the shop could guarantee us. He stopped using his PS3 for a bout 2 months and went to use it today, YLOD again! The dust buil;d up in it was TERRIBLE! :( But we were lucky enough to find your video again and repeated the process, works like new, AGAIN!! Thanks a Million Gilksy!!!!!!!
Brilliant, this is how every tutorial should be done. Now my ps3 is usable and trade-able so for the cost of some paste I'm back up and running. Thank you for taking the time to help everyone Gilksy
Yo thanks dude got my movie out! And fixed my ylod. I had rented a movie that was stuck inside. It would've cost me a bundle in late fees and repairs thanks bro!
hi thanks for your video gilkys has helped me a lot. But I have a problem I managed to get back to the ps3 after the YLOD encer but does not read any game and not let me play any game demonstration please help Thank you.
Thanks mate! Just finished following your guide and my PS3 is back in working order! I would sit here shouting praises at you, but FFVII is calling, cheers again!
hi thanks for your video gilkys has helped me a lot.
But I have a problem I managed to get back to the ps3 after the YLOD encer but does not read any game and not let me play any game demonstration please help Thank you.
How long will it last for when fixed? i just followed all this and forgot i hadn't bought a f*cking heat gun :'( at least i learnt how to take apart a ps3 though
@frankplascencia DO NOOT DO THIS EVER AGAIN...BECAUSE OF THAT, IM HERE TODAY...if u want to get yr cd out open yr blu ray drive and get it out or pay someone to do it for ya. It's eally simple.
my ps3 broke just now. i thought all i had to do was open the ps3 and give it a clean and boy im so wrong .i know i cant do this i will stuff it up for sure. i cant even get my game fifa 12 cd out , and i just bought the game to. i think im just gonna smash the ps3 and try get my cd out. what do you think ?or is there any other way to get the cd out ? because im getting frustrated sitting here pressing Eject.
@omgkman yes there is one switch the power off from the back put your finger on the eject button (let your finger on it) then switch power on from the back there you go ;)
I have fixed same ps3 3 times beofre woked for about 2 weeks to a month and this time i try fix and no red light even show up when i turn it on wtf did i do wrong????
Ok I believe I succesfully reflowed everything and pieced the console back together exactly as stated. Im not getting any power to the console. Its not that I cant power it on, but I'm not even getting the red stand by light. All the cables seem to be positioned and connected correctly. Any thoughts? I searched this specific forum and found that other people are having this same problem, but cant seem to find a resolution. Thanks in advance!
When my ps3 was running before the YLOD, the fan was always moving at (I'd say mid speed), but now that it encountered the YLOD and was fixed using this method, the fan hardly moves at all. I did the fan test, and it seemed the same as before. It was not all that dusty when I took it apart to fix it. I used arcticsilver 5 for the thermal compound. Should I be worried of it overheating now or what?
My friend Gilsky my ps3 its been broken about one month and couple of days i saw youd video and i fixed it bu today my ps3 is broken again. What do you recommend i do? tell me plz
My friend Gilsky my ps3 its been broken about one month and couple of day and i saw your video and i fixed it but today my ps3 is broken again. What do you recommen i do?
One question, when you put in your harddrive again, do you lose anything? I have a lot of things on my harddrive, and i can't stand losing all those things. Movies, music, games and saves etc.
@Vfkboy It is just a hard drive... its design is so that you can remove it and put it into another computer. Short of actually throwing it on the floor, exposing it to liquids or any magnets and also make sure that you ground yourself before handling the hard drive you will not loose any data. Good luck. and happy modding.
Gilksy you're a hero!! I had my doubts especially when the moment of truth arrived I thought that would be the only bit of your video that was wrong - but no IT WORKS AGAIN !!!!!!!!
BIG BIG THANKS. Mine was a refurbished job after my first YLOD - only 6 months and YLOD again during SW upgrade! Anyway now I'm glad I can do it myself as I'm sure this SACK OF SONY SHITE will YLOD again. SONY should be shot for such a shoddy product.
Thanks for your great video. I followed it perfectly & the whole job went really well.....
......however.
When I plugged in the power.......switched it on at the rear......nothing!!!! Not even a RED light!
Any ideas?????
I tested the out put of the psu and the 3 x 5v supplies were ok. I believe that the 2 larger 12v pins will only be energised once powered up.....but I am not even getting the chance to power up. I have heard of ribbon cable damage to the on/off eject board?
dude you are the best!!!!! i fixed mine after following your Videos step by step!!! there was so much dust inside. it runed on no problem and is running nice and quiet!!! thanks for your great knowledge!!!
Fan-bloody-tastic!! Me too being a newbie to this I took my time and did the best job I could, Arctic Silver 5, Isopropyl and got me a nice Evolution heatgun, cracking gun for £35 peeps, Screwfix.Fix worked first time, fingers x'd for a long laster. I have a 60gb CECHCO3 so I wanted to hang onto it, and now I can. Thank you Gilksy
Really good video m8... I'm pretty good with Arcade machines but had never stripped down a PS3.. followed your guide and my £30 eBay 60gb is working Thanks!!!
is the blue light suppose to come with the green light when u put the game on because mine didn't so what does that mean as i use the av and got no read
I had to do it twice but my old PS3 40GB IS ALIVE!!!!!! 7 years of save games are being data transferred as i type. You are the best gilksy!!! PS how long does this re flow last??
Thanks for a clear guide, was really helpful, my ps3 Is the very first original one, so was slightly different to the one you did, didn't need some of the steps as mine is obviously made slightly different, ateast it's fixed now, thanks very much! Long live my ancient ps3!
thanks for the video man, took mine in to get fixed and they couldn't even do it right, got my money back and decided to do it myself and it works like a charm... good video, keep up the good work!
I LOVE YOU! A BIG "THANK YOU" from GERMANY ;) My Dads PS3 had the YLOD and i fixed it with your introduction and now this is MY PS3 hahahaha...LOVE YA!!!!
My ps3 started not giving me the light or maybe im color blind and cant see it but it has all the symptoms so were can i buy the stuff i need to fix it like the heat sink compound the heat gun and cleaning agent? It really pisses me off because my blueray lens blew out and i repaired that only for the motherboard to fuck up ps3 are craply made hell my ps2 still works and game cube and there twice as old played twice as much.
Dude, you are amazing. I followed your guide and videos to the letter, and it fixed my YLOD, but in the process I broke the little plastic flap on the port for the blu-ray drive data cable. :( I managed to wedge it back in place, but it's currently held together by excessive amounts of hope. Thanks, though, man, I would've been shipping my console to the States from England for repairs if it wasn't for your videos.
Okay, new dilemma...... I tried it again, thinking I did it wrong the first time. I must have, because I got it to work this time, but after like 15 minutes, the YLOD reappeared......... What gives? What could be the problem?
I followed your videos and my ps3 lives again but the only only problem is that i can't access the internet at all. Is there anything i can do to get this working again because its pointless me having a ps3 that cant go online!! I have checked all internet details but it when i search for the access point it cant seem to find the IP address.
I must have done something wrong, because it didn't work for me. You got enough good comments where I trust that this works...... I don't know if you read this or not, but is it worth trying to do it again, or did I mess up somewhere enough to where it can't be fixed?
I love you. Thank you. 2 screws left. who gives a shit. I used a silicone compound. thought it was wrong. worked fine! took me over 4 hours. being ultra careful (complete noob). got my mw3 back and she purrs like black sexy cat face
I followed this guide with my launch fat ps3 that just ylod the other day,the videos were very clear and walked through each step. Happy to say my ps3 is running again and will hopefully last awhile longer. Ty so much for making these videos
Gilksy, I followed your guide and reflowed my launch fatboy in March of 2010, and its still chugging along just fine. Im not sure if I thanked you, so THANK YOU. You da man.
After following all the steps when I tried to plug it back in and power on there was no power to my ps3 at all. Not even a red standby light. What could be wrong?
so now i say to everybody is to take your time no need to rush this prosess if you want it going again TAKE YOUR TIME follow this guy and you will be sweet as
Hi there all i want to say is Thank you very much man i just got ylod on the 4/11/2011 looked at youtube and you came up watched your 6 vids and thort ok i can do this so i done exactly what you said to do it took about 1 1/2 hours but got it back together and it worked i have had it running for about 8-9 hours and nothing but peace and quiet no loud fan noise and all in time for uncharted 3 i cant believe that people charge $120 NZD to fix this problem all up it costed me $15 to do this fix
I did everything here the PS3 is running and I even can turn it off with the controller (not on though) but it's not showing anything in the tv. have I burned or didnt connect anything?
@luvdagras i had my bro's ps3 connected to the ps3 with a hdmi cable and when I disconnected it to try the fixed YLOD one it seems that the cable got damaged or something. When I connected my bro's ps3 and it didnt work I changed the cable and it worked.
Gilsky . . . Man . . . I had a fight with my son abt this YLod thing wreckin' our PS3 power on prep. I thought b-coz he mishandled one of our precious toys again. First, we thought twas b-coz of improper turn-off of the unit. When I researched the web. it lead me to you man. I will attempt to do exactly what you just showed us all . . . 6 vids. I'll give u feedback afterwards.
Brilliant video mate, I'm going to try it, a mate of mine has a knackered PS3 with the YLOD and has asked me if I can fix it..... I can now with this guide :)
After my second attempt at re flowing, I have a red light but console wont turn on. when I press the eject button, it beeps twice. Followed Gilskys fix to the teeth. Any clues what my problem is? I have a fat 40GB
After my second attempt at reflowing, I have a red light but console wont turn on. when I press the eject button, it beeps twice. Followed Gilskys fix to the teeth. Any clues what my problem is? I have a fat 40GB
What the hell. I spend over a week taking it apart, getting everything I need, and I finally finish it tonight. I plug it up and everythings okay, then I hit the sensor for the power and nothing happens. So I opened it up and turned it on manually, and it is green for about a minute and im all happy, then I go to eject the disk and bam, Ylod all over again. WTF.
wow! I was huge skeptic man! i got the ylod last night! Went out today to buy the Arctic Silver 5 Thermo paste and a heat gun. One thing that i hope other ppl read is that, i have NO clue when it comes to electronics! I can barely screw in a light bulb without breaking something!! so anyone can do this!
Well, i followed your every move during the repair process. And Voila!! IT WORKS!!! it actually WORKS!! Well done mate! Hope it holds!
please respond, i got a broke ps3 had a faulty disc drive i fixed it but its overheated and now its got yellow light again :( how do i permanantly fix this? the ps3 cost me £10
Duuuuuudddddeeeeeeeee.............You are the MAN....!!!!.... Thank you very much for your specific and concise tutorial.In the USA and used a Wagner two position heat gun 750,1000 F- Used the 750 setting and worked fine as 350C is 662F.Also used Arctic Silver 5.Many hrs of data saved and recovered! Again, can't thank you enough-CHEERS.....Let me know when you're coming to Boston-brews on me.
Thanks! for the amazing guide. The first time I did this, the PS3 worked for about a week. I used some cheap thermal paste. 2nd time around, I used arctic silver 5 and its been running great since.
did it... well it worked for 20 minutes and i got a green screen freezing again.. dont know what to do anymore ;( help

I followed your videos and my ps3 lives again but the only only problem is that i can't access the internet at all. Is there anything i can do to get this working again because its pointless me having a ps3 that cant go online!! I have checked all internet details but it when i search for the access point it cant seem to find the IP address.

I must have done something wrong, because it didn't work for me. You got enough good comments where I trust that this works...... I don't know if you read this or not, but is it worth trying to do it again, or did I mess up somewhere enough to where it can't be fixed?

After following all the steps when I tried to plug it back in and power on there was no power to my ps3 at all. Not even a red standby light. What could be wrong?

@luvdagras i had my bro's ps3 connected to the ps3 with a hdmi cable and when I disconnected it to try the fixed YLOD one it seems that the cable got damaged or something. When I connected my bro's ps3 and it didnt work I changed the cable and it worked.
The YLOD came back the next day.

Gilsky . . . Man . . . I had a fight with my son abt this YLod thing wreckin' our PS3 power on prep. I thought b-coz he mishandled one of our precious toys again. First, we thought twas b-coz of improper turn-off of the unit. When I researched the web. it lead me to you man. I will attempt to do exactly what you just showed us all . . . 6 vids. I'll give u feedback afterwards.

After my second attempt at re flowing, I have a red light but console wont turn on. when I press the eject button, it beeps twice. Followed Gilskys fix to the teeth. Any clues what my problem is? I have a fat 40GB

What the hell. I spend over a week taking it apart, getting everything I need, and I finally finish it tonight. I plug it up and everythings okay, then I hit the sensor for the power and nothing happens. So I opened it up and turned it on manually, and it is green for about a minute and im all happy, then I go to eject the disk and bam, Ylod all over again. WTF.

wow! I was huge skeptic man! i got the ylod last night! Went out today to buy the Arctic Silver 5 Thermo paste and a heat gun. One thing that i hope other ppl read is that, i have NO clue when it comes to electronics! I can barely screw in a light bulb without breaking something!! so anyone can do this!
Well, i followed your every move during the repair process. And Voila!! IT WORKS!!! it actually WORKS!! Well done mate! Hope it holds!
