Yea I did a reflow once (with opening it, not like this tard) and it worked for about 30 minutes, even less actually, then kaboom I got a YLOD :(

I was pissed! Took me like 2 hours lol. All those parts, ugh. I used radioshack artic silver thermal paste and a heat gun, I don't know what I did wrong. I haven't fixed it since. I wish I could know that I'll do it right so I would do it, and be able to play online again! Having one PS3 isn't enough these days with all this jailbreak craze. Sucks.

this is a good way to do it if ur warrenty is out.. its a temp fix and u can get all ur info and saves off the hdd, afterwards trade it to gamestop while its still working :P i did this and it does work... for u guys who said it melted ur ps3, dont hold the hairdryer so close. about 3 to 4 inches should be good enough
