  • My ps3 has been like this for like 4 months now.,. I try it every once in a while but always the same thing. Pretty sure my warrentys up. Im scared to mess with it though. What to do?

  • @NilaReedKillz123 Part 1

    Thanks for the comment. The reason it's doing it is because some bright spark thought it wise to use lead free solder on the CPU. when the console over-heats it causes the solder to crack and cause dry joints.

    The only way to remedy this is to do the solder re-flow trick, but this doesn't last for long, 3 months after you will be doing it again. I've done this twice myself and it does

    work but not for long.You will need a little experience with electronics to carry out the re-flow trick. You will need to disassemble the ps3 right down to the motherboard. Its not to difficult, if you have a digital camera take a pic each time you take a component off to trace your steps. I just thought this would be a funny video to make. The ps3 in the film is working at the mo but when it fails again which it will, I will do a proper fix vid

  • Haha very funny vid! still wanna know how to fix it tho!!!

  • @heatblader22

    Thanx for the comment. It was filmed as an April fool’s day joke, but next time it happens I will film how to fix it properly and upload a tutorial on the repair. Trouble is thou the solder re-flow fix only lasts for 3 to 6 months and it breaks down again.
