PS3 YLOD Fix Part 2 of 3

Be sure to check out part 1 first.

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.

After several requests, I've decided to put up a re-assembly video.

You can find it here.

Shouldn't lay or work on PCB board on carpet

[djwhetzel]

Yes, I know. This topic has been covered a bazillion times already and I've addressed it as many times.

When doing this, don't use your CARPET as a work table.

[djwhetzel]

When doing this, watch ALL of the videos in the series and read the description on ALL of the videos.

Thanks for watching.

[Kurt Fridenberger]

Yeah, like rahmiti said, I wonder if it could work in an oven. It'll evenly distribute heat to the motherboard, I really don't see why it wouldn't work. Instead of spending the $80 bucks for a heat gun, if you don't have access to one.

[djwhetzel]

I highly suggest watching my "PS3 Re-assembly Announcement, Update and Tips" video. /watch?v=Gc48x-LXcKE

I actually talk about that subject.

BTW, you can find heat guns for around $20 or less if you shop around.

Thanks for watching.

Did you take off the thermal pads of the other chips, or did you let them stay there? If so, did you buy new ones?

[Bakagus018]

Would a hairdryer work ?

[Ryananacortes]

Yeaaaaaaah!!!

[Ryananacortes]

Yeaaaaah boy ! Ps3 fixed

[Ryananacortes]

About to reassemble .....

[d4mi3nBr0th4]

How long did it last you before it went out on you the first time??

[ultimamba24]

This tutorial still helps to this day. Thanks a ton.

[reddeada7x56]

yes but what broke it was the heat in wrong places melting the chips off the board but what fixes it is heat in the right places

[aabrams07]

OMG and where are his anti-static wrist straps and anti-static mat?!

Oh yea, stuck up some some dudes butt who got a degree instead of learning things for himself. Not saying you're that guy. Just never seen a static failure. Ever. A many boards have slid across my carpet, only to boot right up when turned on. I had a shower with one before. Was great. 3 years in production environment, rolling strong. Little jokers are much tougher than the A+ book says.
