Thanks for the guide it works perfect,
but i have a problem. now i have a ps3 60 gig with the ylod, i reflow'd it and dosn't work. still ylod. it is not the first time i have done it so i dont think i have done it rong. it is not the power suply ether. do you have an idee what else it coud be?

great educational video gilksy. I have a question for you though...

I did one ps3 successfully with no problems at all, then I atempted another one i've had laying around for approx 6 months.
I followed the same steps as before but the thermal paste was all over the show when I opened it up, I cleaned it up as best I can and proceeded. It fired into life BUT for the first second it's fine but after that it gives off green squares all over the screen and freezes. The on/off switch works fine and it stays on with no "YLOD" but worthless when on. Wouldn't have anything to do with thermal paste being somewhere it shouldn't be would it???
I used a 500 dregree heat gun and heated each part for no more that 30 secs (as I said before, It worked on the first one).
I'm going to start again with it but any ideas???

Gilksy,
thank you for your efforts in putting together the YLOD fix guide and youtube videos. Using these I managed to get my launch day ps3 working again, which would not have been posible without your help.
