Sounds like your ps3 has suffered damages from overheating. You can try to change the thermal paste and hope for the best. If that doesn't help, the console will need a reflow, a reball, or to be replaced.
It sounds like the guy probably did a reflow on your ps3...its a cheap fix that can last a day, a month, a year you never really know..
Once damages from overheating have happened, it's unlikely you can repair it easily. It's best to change the thermal paste on the CPU+GPU every so often, and to keep your console clean, to prevent this from happening..
