I had YLOD so it was impossible to start the PS3 (retrocompatible PS3 FAT). I tried what you did but with a hair dryer for a few minutes and it works perfectly now. Thank you
I know the solution here guys, your internal thermal paste is seized, you need to remove the cpu cover then replace the thermal paste inside, the CPU cover is made with aluminum, just scrape it with plastic gently, carefully, you will see inside theres a thermal paste probably solid already
This problem is due to the malfunction of the NEC tokin capacitors if they are not replaced the problem returns, this problem also happens in the fat ps3 models
I fixed mine in a different way look under where the power button is at and there is vents if its dusty then that's the problem but this video still gives good tips
@@davidvance8182 I also bought another one, but for me was a good idea to keep the PS3 because sometimes it's nice to play old games. I found out that my PS3 had broken down when I recently had guests and they wanted to play a PS3 game.
This metod works only for few hours or days, and after repeting this metod the ps3 GPU & RTX will be destroyed, don't do this metod, the only way to repair your ps3 is to reballing GPU & RTX or if the problem are the capatitors NEC- tokin must be replaced
@@eubladez3884 This is a ps3 first of all and what they said was correct with some minor grammatical mistakes, he meant RSX which is the GPU in the ps3
people say this because Xbox 360s (mostly Xenon models) had RROD mostly because of microsoft using unleaded solder balls instead of leaded, thus causing RROD if they cracked. because PS3s had YLOD at the time, people assumed there was unleaded solder in the PS3 as well. in actuality, it’s sorta the GPU/CPU’s fault. on the 360, the RROD was caused by mostly the solder balls, it could be a lot of other things causing it (capacitors, dead DVD drive etc). on the PS3, while the RSX may bridge solder, that’s extremely rare, most of the time it’s always the faulty NEC/TOKEN capacitors.
SONY PS3/ PS4 SUCK when it comes to keeping their consoles cool due to not enough ventilation holes, then even the dust inside can screw their consoles too!!!!
There is no correct method as long you cover the entire surface. Gamers Nexus already proof that get informed prior posting. 🤦. His method is actually quite good.
I have a ps3 slim upon changing the hard drive, it now shows an error code (8002F2F0) and the green light immediately goes off and even try takes time before it t come back again. What can you for me pls?
Thank you for making this detailed video. I followed along and now my ps3 works again!
This is why I went back to my ps2 and never left.

Hello there,
I have a PS3 Slim that also has the ylod. Would it work if I just buy another motherboard for it?
I fixed mine in a different way look under where the power button is at and there is vents if its dusty then that's the problem but this video still gives good tips
That was the first thing I did, I cleaned all the dust but it didn't work :(
Mine went to the shitcan. Bought another.

I did this and my cell cpu litterally popped off. Now the only option is to reball. Let's be honest, 90% of youtube videos are fake AF
Should be fine if your talking about the lid. If the actual cpu popped off the motherboard tho then yeah ur screwed 💀
@@PrizmKing_EditZ yeah it's screwed, bricked PS3 good for parts..

Mine did this when upgrading drive. The drive was in compatible for some reason. Got a different and worked fine.
I tried with an identical drive but with 160GB and it didn't work either :|
I have the same problem in my ps3
Why the hell did you skip the part where you open the fan. Thats the most confusing part
So after using the thermal compound paste to clean the cpu I will use blower
I will use the blower again
Amazing!
What is temperature of hot air ?
It may have problem in power strip inside ps3
Can i use hair blower ?
what temerature you use?
I saw in another video using a temperature of 300 degrees celsius. But this person applied liquid FLUX first.
@@HumbertoCardinali s correct
why heating the board？
I try this way but is not working help me please 😢😢
Yeah but its very very hard its better to take it to some service lot of people know how to fix it in 2023

Thanks a lot
And how to reball a ps3 motherboard without damaging it

That is NOT how you put thermal paste

I have fix my ps3
How bro ?
What is the reason for this problem?
When you try to jailbreak your ps3 and it gets bricked
Overheating issue for the cpu
@@sayeshinnaicker2655 no, its overheating problem
@@sayeshinnaicker2655 Tf? Bricking only happens when you download cfw files on hen or the other way around. This happens bc the GPU overheated
