Can you repair my PS3 backwards compatible with the ylod?

You dont need a spreader. The clamp pressure takes care of that. Thermal paste doesn't drip at all, either. That's what working at Best Buy does to your brain apparently. Your credibility is suspect to me after hearing that nonsense.

Not a permanent fix.

9 years later we know that this is NOT A FIX, just temporary. The only real fix is to replace the RSX... or other components that are defective. You can blame NVIDIA for that, they knowingly shipped defective RSX chips to SONY...

What are the materials used in re-soldering the processor, their names and links to purchase them, please

What su KS is all of us including myself were trying to fix our old consoles to play our old school retro games.. but these new console makers especially sony seems to not give a crap what we think and to cheap to put backwards compatible we Jones for the classics..

i fixed my ps3 but now it has green light of death and it boots up when it wants to

This is the 1st PS3 Fat version? The one that integrates PS3 and PS2 hardware on the same motherboard?

Is your ps3 still working? Heard this is a temp fix

It worked for me for only 20 min and then it died and I think I need to heat it up a little longer .

But..... Does it still work??

I have one but separates the signal after 500 meters please show me the solution please

Awesome! I think I learned just about everything I need to work on my own PS3 with the same problem. Did it ever work for you? You never showed if the PS3 was operational, just out of my own curiosity.

You need to take the heat spreaders off then heat the chips... The heat spreaders absorb so much of the heat that you can’t completely reflow the chips correctly. You can use less heat also and once done apply thermal paste under heat spreaders also.

Hmm wasn't permanent here.

Don’t listen to anyone that tells you to use a heat gun or an oven on a motherboard. Go the extra mile and learn about reballing. Reflow is only a temporary fix and could damage your motherboard beyond repair.

I brought my PS3 80 GB model can play PS2 games 6 months ago. my fan got very nosy when I was playing GTA5 a week ago. I got little worry i turn it off I did mine yes day. I used Arctic MX-4 Thermal compound. Does your PS3 still work today ? I been lucky so far never have Ylod death yet by its turning off

Would a hair dryer on low or high work?

your soldering gun looks like a luger dude.

Wow I am much impress. I one day wish to also own a Barack Obama drone like this one here

700 is too hot. I use heat at less than 400 degrees farenheit on both sides at the same time for about 15-20 minutes then let the board cool down completely before reassembly.

Thermal paste doesn't normally come with a spreader lol. This guy is a dumbass

Uhm, I wouldn't say this fix would work that well over time. Which flux being mostly acidic over time the heat will make it unsolidify and melt all over the Board. But this could be fixed with special electrical flux. You never specified which too use so for those who aren't educated on it they may have destroyed their ps3

Anyone watching this video today please heed my advice. Firstly this is not the best video when it comes to doing it by a heat gun, and secondly for the love of God remove the heat spreaders on both the GPU and CPU. With the right tools it is very easy and not as hard as people make it sound, if you don't do this they're going to overheat in the yellow light of death will come back. This information is brought to you by someone who personally owns a 2006 launch model that is never gotten yellow light of death before because I've done these steps to prevent it.

Reballing a laptop costs about $30 so if you bring your motherboard to someone with the equipment i dont see why it wouldn’t cost the same

YEEEEEEEEEEEES THANKYOU SO MUCH IT ACTUALLY WORKED

from where can i get the pen glue

Tried it . Didnt work. Well it did for 1-5seconds then it just got stuck like static tvs almost. Ive tried everything,thermopastr change,the coin ,even pcs venting cooler... Nothing! Pls help , i miss my baby

There is no such thing as a permanent fix when it's that problem it's pretty much dead

Fix is temporary.

for the love of god warm the board up first so the flux runs faster lol. i bet that ps didnt boot.

is this permanent?

That ps3 is not YLod even RLod.. if it them, some of ball inside the gpu and cpu still contacted and you need to separate them by using reballing methods.

did this, didnt work, took a drill and pressed through the MB

This is a temporary fix and the more times you do it the less time the reflow works. I'd just pay a pro for a reball on my fatty but a slim probably wouldn't bother there's no cool factor.

After 3 failed attempts, I finally got my working by putting a weight on the chip as soon as I took the heat off it. Letting it cool that way. :)

How long should you wait after putting th thermoglue before turning the ps3 on ?

HOW TO PERMANENTLY FIX YOUR YLOD PS3 : Buy pc :)

I would say that's a permanent way to remove paint out of the wood or walls

why I cant??

BAD NOT GOOD VERY BAD WORK ----- NOW IS REBALLING GPU IS THE BEAST

ever hearf of esd? doing it on a metal plate hahaha omg

As has been said before, this isn't exactly a permanent fix. With any luck, this procedure may help to revive a PS3 that's YLODed or RLODed. But, should you manage to get it working again after using a heat gun on it, be advised that you are on borrowed time; the console may continue working anywhere from months down to just hours. Use that time to back up your data for migration to a replacement PS3. After backing up, discontinue use of your broken console as it can no longer be considered reliable for normal use.

Your controller doesn't push 10 amp. The battery is rated for 570maH. Use a 40 ohm resistor. Higher resistors for lighter colors.

For all of you trying to fix the ylod permanently, you can't. Your ps3 will get ylod again after fixing it. Once fixed, copy all your saves to a USB and just buy a ps3 slim or super slim, which can't get ylod. It will cost you some money, but it's worth it.

can i use this Arctic Cooling MX-4 Thermal Paste

let's say I fix my PS3 and applied new thermal paste. if my PS3 still get ylod should I replace the thermal paste again when I take it apart or reapply some new thermal paste.

interesting points ,if anyone else trying to find out how to repair playstation try Alkarno Playstation Fixer Alchemist ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my buddy got cool success with it.

makesure that table is grounded or ESD will kill the board

Did not work... stil yellow light. :(
