My YLOD Fix

I documented my YLOD repair experience in this small video. You can share the moment of my surprise when the PS3 awakes from the dead and really runs again!
Special Thanks to Gilksy for writing his YLOD fix guide!

is it still working?

[JanderPS3]

@S1CKclan No, it isn't. Alltogether it ran for about 15 to 20 hours before it ylod'ed again. :(

Ich hab meine Konsole einfach auf gut Glück aufgeschraubt und alles rausgenommen. Hatte anfangs voll Schiss dass die Kabel nur aufgeklebt sind und man sie nach dem Abnehmen nicht mehr dranbekommt war aber nich so. Gehe Morgen zu Conrad und hole mir dort Wärmeleitpaste. Hoffentlich klappt es xD

[JanderPS3]

@LinkSSBB0 Und, hattest Du Erfolg? Hoffe, die Kiste funktioniert wieder.

[JanderPS3]

@mattbrad2 Because it's fun... and hey, it's copyright free! :)

Why do people put gay music to their videos?

[tombaldwin10]

You should just clear the two boards and replace the thermal paste/adheasive

@tombaldwin10 It does say in the video that he used heat gun only lol

[IBOSCorporation]

@JanderPS3 You didnt do it properly, you cant use just the heat gun to fix it, you need to do a full reflow of the GPU and CPU.



[DrSteveHolt]

this reminds me of GLEE

[tombaldwin10]

did you purchase and use 'heat conductive paste'?

[ConspiracyHist]
