Hola

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey, so my friend wanted me to look into he's system and i agreed. I am not that used to fix PlayStation units rather than modding them.
I was hoping that someone here could get me a lead on what is wrong and what has to be done to get it up and running again. Anything helps i guess Smile


Details about the console:
On boot the user can hear 4 beeps the fan starting to spin faster and faster, then it boots of and it shows a Yellow Light Of Death.
Playstation 3 FAT Version - 60GB.
Never opened.

The oven method shouldn't work for that right?

The Oven method might work but if you are going to do it be VERY careful

Thanks for all the replies but what is the highest risk? I usually downgrade consoles with the E3 Flasher so i know to take care of the motherboard and such. What should i watch out the for the most? ( if you have done it of course :P )

You'll need to either reflow or reball the PS3 unit, which will cost some money to do... Also, it'll probably be cheaper to buy another PS3. Anyway, you can learn more about this You must login or register to view this content..
