I did the "oven method" back in 2010, and it fixed my YLOD. The only downside was i melted the PC speaker. No big loss. Worked fine for years after that!
I think using heat to reflow is only good for getting data off a PS3 that isn't worth repairing. The harddrive on the system is encrypted and reflowing should keep it working long enough to get the data off the console
I agree with @PatSmashYT. I did a heat/reflow on my first phat PS3 back in the day. I got a week out of it, until I got the YLOD again. So I did it one more time and just got my games off of it and got a PS3 slim and called it a day.
another great video, one of these days the algorithm is going to blow up your channel. These types of videos are awesome to watch and great to leave a few things about PS3 repair thanks.
I remembered putting a FAT PS3 in an entertainment desk to play FFX. After about an hour it shut down and it had that YLOD after that. Called Sony up and paid about $100 for them to get the PS3 to them, fix it and sent it back to me in about a week. That was about 2012. These days PS3 are super cheap that many times I get a YLOD PS3 for about $10 each so I got 12 for a discounted $100. From the 8 that I tried 6 of them worked using the heat gun going around the CPU and GPU area for 3 minutes. I tested it a few months later and it still works. This is just for fun and learning. I was told the proper way to fix this YLOD is to use a multi-meter to check which is the problem chip and replace that. I don't have that patience or currently have that skillset so can't go that route.
Wait until you find out there's people who still reflow 360s. I know this way too well, since I've had to stock on Jasper and revised Xenons because every chump and their mom thought it was a good idea to blast their GPUs (and sometimes I'd find the CPUs caked in flux too!) with some Leroy-Merlin/Home-Depot/Mom und Pops Storen heatgun at 300 degrees. Worst was when some idiot insisted for a reflow when I clearly told him IT WOULDN'T LAST AS FAR AS A MINUTE. He was a firm believer on reflows, until I showed him that his own method had failed him. Thankfully his board was a 2007 Falcon. Had him pay twice the price of a Jasper mobo just because he was stubborn, and to learn a lesson on wasting people's time with a reflow.
Party why I made this video, I see people use heatguns on PS3s all the time. I don’t get why it’s still done constantly. Hopefully some people can get that these methods do not fix anything.
@@ConsoleKingRepair Yeah, most people in the town I live would very much dump a ton into reflowing/reballing chips that are well known to fail. I had someone come thru my repair service with a G04 phat (90/65) claiming he spent a whole fortune (forgot how much, I think somewhere around the 400-450RON mark - that's quite a load of money in Romanian currency) on a reball only for it to fail in the span of ~ a week. 3034/4412 before, 3034/4412 again. I only did a quick reflow to get his saves off and transferred them onto a pristine CECHL04 I had for sale. Charged him for the price of the console I transferred his whole stuff to (350RON since it was a fully clear and untouched SYSCON log unit!)and kept his G04 for spare tantalums to fix 65s - I usually had 1002/1001s on them 65s so it only made sense that I stockpile my own reliable tantalums than order cheap Ali bullshit.
@@NSHG I wouldn’t even consider doing a reball for a customer atp, they can sometimes work from what I’ve seen, but results are so inconsistent, it would only be worthwhile to replace the defective chip with a more reliable one.
@@ConsoleKingRepair Yeah but given it was a G model, I wasn't even going to give him a chance at GPU replacement. It's not worth doing a RSX swap on anything past the BC models unless it's a special edition model (and not even then, given reliable 65nm boards exist for fixing the Gunmetal Gray MGS4 units)
My ps3 80g was over heating badly. I don’t have any experience with console repair but I do have plenty of experience with computers so I decided to take it apart and clean it. It had never been opened given that the original warranty sticker was still intact. A good clean with alcohol and q-tips and new thermal paste made it run like new.
I fixed mine after reading a lot. Read Syscon -> Replaced CPU caps (made a mess removing old ones...) -> Boot but really high temps -> had to delid (This is the worse part. Ended up knoking a really small cap near CPU) -> Fixed cap -> miraculously it worked. Then I stored it because I was not using it 😅
Hey friend thank you for sharing your information, Im a huge long time PS3 player since it came out and sadly not many pers any more, Japan might be the last source of quality parts or perhaps even repairs, where did you buy them or how can I search?
no it aint, more people than you think still use them. If I found a reputable shop, Id send my three consoles that I have to get fixed and maintained but its a huge gamble
I used a beam heater on a ps3 that has rsx bump gate issue from a syscon error read. It did turn on again enough to put CFW and fan control. It had two bad nec tokens that were replaced. It also needed to be delid because it was getting up to 80C with a game and 60% fan speed. Added a 3D printed plug and get 63C with ps2 games and 69C (nice) on 55% fan playing TLOU. Also replaced the 15 bladed fan with a 19 bladded fan. It has 512 days of use and going strong. In short…no all this work of learning how to solder for the last 2 years that lead to this point was worth a backwards e01 ps3. I’m happy to have it but…I could’ve just bought one outright.
Had an original xbox with FRAG issue. Used a hairdryer on it to heat evenly and came on for a bit then stopped working again. Left it plugged in and forgot about it for a couple weeks so I thought it didn't fix it, but for some reason after that it started working again so I don't even know if it was related to hair dyer or not but I'll just say it was lol.
The RSX on these early modules is faulty from factory. A proper reflow will fix the issue temporarily. The ps4 and ps5 have similar issues and almost always from drop damage. In fact, the same issue is found in almost any device with BGA ics. It is a problem related to the BGA technology in general.

Make sure to use low ESR caps, each NEC has 1200uF of capacitance, so use your caps accordingly. Also make sure to bridge the positive sides of the NECs if you plan on doing a full replacement.

With replacing NEC it is fixed but not long terms. For proper repair RSX needs to be replaced with one for super slim models. Aka "frankenstain mod". As i remember fat use 65nm and super slim is 28nm.
the 65nm RSX doesn't fail that often, especially the later ones. you're probably thinking of the 90nm chip found in the early backwards compatible models.
I was told that if you use the oven for the motherboard or gpu you should not use that oven to cook food again. That is the reason why I went to a Goodwill and got a cheap toaster oven for $10 to try it out a few times for curiosity 😀.

I kill my fat with eraser mod 😆
В интернете по прежнему полно блоХеров, которые не имеют никакого отношения к ремонтам, разбирали может быть один раз что-то и рекомендации дают идиотские на многих форумах, во всех странах такие есть. И те, кто рекомендует заливать в геймпад WD -40, чтобы исправить "дрифт" стика.😅
With replacing NEC it is fixed but not long terms. For proper repair RSX needs to be replaced with one for super slim models. Aka "frankenstain mod". As i remember fat use 65nm and super slim is 28nm.
the 65nm RSX doesn't fail that often, especially the later ones. you're probably thinking of the 90nm chip found in the early backwards compatible models.
could just get a new ps3 for like $20 instead of fixing it
Step 1 trow your ps3 in the trash
I remember following the oven method got it to turn back on 😂 however remember it stank up the oven tho
Same with my ps3 slim lol
I was told that if you use the oven for the motherboard or gpu you should not use that oven to cook food again. That is the reason why I went to a Goodwill and got a cheap toaster oven for $10 to try it out a few times for curiosity 😀.
