Find someone local to you that will perform a "Re-Ball". Look on Craigslist.
Alternately, you can ship your console to somewhere like this:

im looking at repairing it myself as im broke atm

I don't know if this is PERM fix but it should be fixed for a long time just follow this video:

If you fix it or get a new ps3 here are a few tips you should know/do to help prevent the ylod:

- Don't block the air vents
- Keep your ps3 dust free (You can use a vacum cleaner to suck the air out, but make sure it's low powered)
- Keep it in a place where alot of air can get to it (Keep it about 5 inches away from the wall), also don't have it cramped in a tight space
- If you have a hot room open your window to let some cold/cool air in


My PS3 got ylod, It was because I had an object at the back of the PS3 without knowing so the hot air couldn't get out - I should have been a bit more carefull.. I got it fixed by the method in this video but it got ylod again because i had it on the floor and under a desk so that was a fail. Hope your PS3 survives, I've been without my PS3 for about a month now and trust me... it's very very boring without one!

thanks +rep also how long did it last for?

I'm not particularly sure mate, I think the better the thermopaste you put on the CPU and GPU (Like in the vid) the longer it lasts.

Don't quote me on that though! I'm not entirely sure :/


I just searched on google and I read that "a good ylod fix should last years but a cheap one should last a few months" I'm not sure if that is true though.

Sorry that I haven't got your answer :~(

You aren't going to get a permanent fix yourself. A re-flow like in the video posted is only good for 3-4 months at best. I have re-flowed 7 consoles( with a professional re-flow stand at work, not a heatgun in the video) and 3 lasted 4 months, the others lasted 3 or less.

A true re-ball of the CPU and GPU is the only real fix.

Reballing is a permanent fix, but reflowing lasts between 1-5 months.
