Please leave the annotations on while watching this entire video. I've added a few important points that I forgot to mention while I was recording the video.
Also, please watch all of my PS3 related videos BEFORE starting this process (including my "PS3 Re-assembly Announcement, Update And Tips" video) so that you are familiar with what you're doing in advance.
First and foremost. I take no responsibility for any damage done if you attempt this process. This is a simple "how to" for anyone who wants to attempt to fix their PS3 their self instead of paying Sony $150.
Having said that, I've had a lot of people ask for a video of doing a reflow on a PS3 after getting the YLOD (Yellow Light of Death) so I decided to make a video of the process.
If you are not sure of your own ability's then do not attempt this. Just pay someone to do it for you or spend the money and send it into Sony.
I've had a few different people ask about donations. Donations are not necessary and they're not even expected, but they are appreciated.
If I've helped you fix your PS3 and you would like to donate you can do so here.

Thank you in advance if you do decide to donate. Even if it's a dollar it's very appreciated.

@hugestpenisEVA it lasts 2-5 months if u are lucky. If u want it to last it more you have to change Either The gpu or the cpu...
