Fixing YLOD

here is the guide please try at your own risk, i know 3 people that have used this method and it's worked

It`s a nice guide, BUT way too much work and too many things can go wrong. I would rather have bought a new one.....

if you were just gonna buy a new one it would be worth trying, if it works you could flog the old one off to pay for new one.
are the ones yer m8s did still working? have heard that quite a few develop the YLOD again after a short while.
btw. how did you get the video embeded on forum?

Yeah they prob will go again, that's why u fix then and sell them asap
1 mate's is still going after 1 month, another guy's broke after 3 weeks and the other sold his as soon as he got it running.

Oily to embed the youtube - [flash(425,350)]LINK HERE[/flash] I mod on another forum which uses bbcode so picked up a few things, we have a youtube embed function but that code should work just the same

cheers m8 been wondering how to do that for ages

Feck, can't get it to work now I posted it on another forum using their youtube link and it converted the code to that for here, worked for my OP but that code doesn't work all the time, sorry dude

this seemed to work for me (without the spaces)

Code:

[ youtube ]link_here[ /youtube ]

if theres no spaces it changes to the code you showed above???

ah, thats good, thats the code used on the other forum which it changed to that for here, your code should work now then

i used the repair above and it got me going but it lasted only 2 weeks

just tried a variation of this fix on my m8s ps3 all the same but instead if a heatgun you put it in the oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes its workin at the moment god knows if it'll last will keep you updated

hahaha u serious? thats funny as fcuk! can't be good for his machine

yeah i heard about that one working also

yea wondered if it would survive it myself but cant be worse than blasting it with a heatgun at 350 degrees it didnt show any obvious signs of damage and it works at the moment so time will tell..
