(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey guys. Last Night, my 3.55 FAT CECHH02 40Gb PS3 got YLOD. I've pulled it apart today, done the whole cleaning of the thermal paste, reflow and shit, but I have no Thermal Paste! I though i did. Is there any alternative to Thermal Paste?

Never mind guys, Somehow, even though I had no clue how to do anything at all, I happened to fix the YLOD already. All trial and error. So Simple!

yes, toothpaste is actually recommended as a thermal compound alternative. although, I've never tried it.

I had considered trying that, but I couldn't imagine it working all that great. Plus I wouldn't wanna try it on my trusty 3.55 PS3! haha.

thats what i was thinking when i tried fixing an old ps3 of mine ( RIP

Make sure to get the Arctic Silver thermal compound. It's the best one they got at Radioshack.
