If you want it Good Fixed Use This :[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIm0Qk0CVTE&feature=related"]Pro Fix ( Thats How I Did over 30 Ps3's ) [/ame]
Hairdryer Fix : [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPowgiEOHXc"]Watch The Basics Here [/ame]

i fix YLOD's and other Problems cuz i do it for my hobby Winky Winky

i fixed over 30 YLOD Ps3's but Not with a hairdryer of course :P

i do it with Hot Air Gun ( 350 Degrees )
Open up the Ps3 get the motherboard out and clean up the BGA's then heat them up and let em cool down Winky Winky Its Pretty Easy and Holds very long when yoy get some extra cooling Winky Winky

you can find some video's on youtube how to search for those with a Hot Air Gun Winky Winky

No, dude. The only thing that you should be heating is your MOTHERBOARD. Not the entire PS3.

Don't use hair dryer fix. It doesn't work. Hair dryers don't get to be 350 degrees. Search up PS3 Heat Gun fix or here is over fix(which I used) >>> [ame=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RovgIm-33k0]YouTube - 1 of 6 PS3 YLOD Fix after Oven Cook[/ame]
