PS3 YLOD - it is possible to fix it.
I had a 60GB with the YLOD, rang Sony, think it was £130 for a console swap, straight replacement.
However a friends had died at th same time I'd read about fixing it and so had he so we set about it..... Its a method of
refluxing, replacing the worn CPU compound and bending the clamps. In no way shape or form would I believe this would have worked but it did, so if you fancy a go it worth it, whats to lose?
