Yes, my password is: Forgot your password? I didn't have a heat gun though so I searched a bit more on the internet and found this video from the BBC consumer affairs program Watchdog.
So I googled to see if anyone else had tried using an oven to do the repair. The general consensus seemed to be around F for 10 mins. I didn't have a tray so I wrapped the motherboard in tin foil and stuck it in the oven pre-heated to about F for 10 mins. Ian Robinson. I tried the hair drier method. Wroap the PS3 in a towel or jumper with an opening at the blu-ray side. Blast it with a hair drier on full for mins. The whole console will get very hot and you may melt the trim but if you let the whole thing cool slowely then it should work well.
Did for me and if it YLOD again then you can blast it with the hair drier again. I've done it 5 times now. The fix doesnt last forever and I suggest you take the outer casing off and clean out all the dust etc to prevent further over heating. I put mine in the empty box it came in. Then used my hair dryer on the back with everything still together for 5 min on, 3 off. Heating it a total of 15 min. So, after 24 min, stuck it in the fridge and waited for it to cool.
This worked for me, but only later a month or so before I had to do it again. Maybe temporary, but easy and worked. Rob smooth rides. Reballing specially for the PS3 GPU chip is not an easy task, it requires very advanced machines , very accurate thermal profiles and a lot of hands on and training and high skills, very few places are able to do that on a high success rate that grantee that you will send your console to really get repaired and not to be permanently damaged, Reballing is like a heart surgery to the console so you have to choose carefully a very reputable place to do it for you, the same procedure is used to fix all kind of electronics that use BGA packages like laptops, graphics cards and even desktop computers and all in one and it is also the same procedure used to fix RROD in xbox ,Don't try anything else if your console is valuable to you or you have important data you care not to loose.
I sent the guy my console for warranty repair after he first "fixed" it. He refuses to send it back. It took 3 months for my first repair. The fix lasted two months. I sent it back for warranty work, he's had it over 2 months now and refuses to answer my emails or return my console. Sony and other electronics manufactures have switched to using 'lead-free' solder. This type of solder is environmentally safe, but does not hold up to high heat like the PS3 generates very long. Also I used a better thermal paste.
On the CPU the thermal paste looked cracked and dry. I think this was the main problem. After reassembling everything worked fine Here is a link: Spam removed. Or open it up. Clean the dust out. Reapply thermal paste to the heatsink. Then bend the CPU tension plates on the bottem to make it tighter before reassembling. Heat up the two large chips on the board with a heat gun or hair dryer as hot as you can get it without melting anything then reassemble it.
It should work fine after that. Get a box then unconnect your PS3 and put it in the box with the vents facing you. Grab a hairdryer and start heating up your playstation. Don't do it too close, and after 5mins of heating let it rest for a few mins then do it again. Two years running without a problem. RottenFox Distinguished Member. Click to expand Darn, sounds like it won't last long then, as it was a 3rd party repair.
Hmmmmmmmmmm, need a plan B Gillyallan Active Member. Trade in towards slim. MarkusThatch Distinguished Member. Had my ylod ps3 repaired in march, same problem cropped up again in may but still under warranty with console doctor so they fixed it again. I'll probably just see it through the warranty period and if goes wrong again get a new slim. Little or no chance of trading it in at game or gamestation etc now it's been opened up and sticker removed.
Mine lasted 4 weeks after a 90 pound repair. Got it fixed again and it lasted 1 day! Gave up on it in the end and bought a gb slim. Not too bothered really as I only had it fixed to get my data off it. As Rottenfox said, it only masks the real problem and should be considered a temporary fix.
My launch 60Gb died 2 weeks after the warranty expired. Sony repaired it for free, and has been going strong for over 2 years now.
Unsure what to do at the minute, doesn't look like they're going for much as scrap on eBay, and I have no idea about local places that might be able to fix it. Any ideas? Sorry to hijack the thread btw.
