(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I was turing ps3 on playing then it froze normal ok but when i turn on itll load with green light but then beep and red light beeping until i click again no yellow light any fixes or tips to fix

Its not an overheat problem though its idk im clean it blow dry it for now

Typically you would use a high powered heat gun, capable of reaching over 600*F. So, don't be surprised if the blow dryer does nothing for you been there.


One of the most notorious causes of YLOD is an issue in which the console overheats (more accurately the solder under the CPU/GPU melts and becomes disconnected from either the motherboard or the chip.
If this is what is wrong with the console (seems so), what you are experiencing is no longer overheating, but damages caused BY overheating. A reflow is an attempt to remelt the solder in hopes that it will gain this connection back.

The thermal paste does nothing other than aiding in distributing the heat from those chips to the heatsinks, so that the chips do not get hot. It doesn't decide if the console will run or not. If you can no longer boot the console before you are even attempting anything, then it will need a reflow at the least( to jumpstart) + the thermal paste(to keep it cool).

Ok ima do the hair dryer thing then with a box or towel and i have ita manager should i increase the speed of fan?

You can increase the speed of the fan if you want, but the main focus of repair should be at the chips. If the repair is done well enough you would be fine at normal fan speeds.

imo fan speed software should be used more so to prevent ylod than to battle with it. It won't help you much if you have already taken the damage.

Dang lol this stuff pretty tuff especially reball i cant do that got anyone i can get to do that perfered in the south of usa?

So bothered by this i want to send it in to someone perfered in usa and near area

IMO it will be much easier to just get a new jb ps3..

Buy one from a nice family or someone who seemed to have taken care of it, then get it jailbroken.

There are so many kids who pick up ps3s in your condition (dirt cheap i might add) and then reflow them and jb them to sell, only later to have the ps3 shit out on their customer and leading them to believe it was their fault.


I've learned this lesson the hard way with my business, but you can't run away when you do it locally..

Best way is to buy what I call "an old lady's ps3", jb, and maintain every number of months.

To maintain a ps3 takes a screwdriver, tissue(toilet) paper, and thermal paste(arctic silver 5). Every few months take your ps3 apart down to the motherboard, dust everything with the toilet paper, and apply new thermal paste. Making a schedule for this every so often can keep your ps3 alive forever.

GL!

Ive had it for good amount of years so i think it needs a reflow idk lol thnx for the answer though
