PS3 YLOD fixing?

esK` · 2 Jun 2011 at 13:00

Is it worth trying this and is there a high success rate as a friend has just offered me his PS3 for £30 but it has a YLOD. I've heard people say they have failed again inside a month of fixing it?

The one I fixed lasted about 6 weeks, you can throw it on ebay afterwards and should get £20-30 back for it

I done mine, an old 60gb and it lasted for about 8 months. After that I was happy enough to buy a new slim. Not overjoyed about losing backward compatibility though.

I did mine without damaging the warranty sticker , then sold it to gamestation :-)

Would this be as simple as the 360 oven repair trick? Reason I ask is a friend of the wife has asked if I can micro solder the ps3 so I am assuming its the YLOD.
