I have a PS3 here that I have been playing with for about a month or so.. It developed a YLOD problem and I fixed it following this info here:

http://forums.maxconsole.net/showthread.php?t=137655

It worked great for a week or so. I do the "fix" above again and it, once again, it works fine for a week or so.. And so on and so on.. I think I have fixed it 4 or 5 times and I have to wonder if I am getting to a "breaking point" where it won't fix anymore.

So, I was wondering if there are any new fixes out there that might help with a recurring YLOD problem.

Thanx...

I assume you are refluxing before each repair attempt?

i put 12 volt computer on the powersupply and the air output areas, that seemed to help me

What is refluxing, what type of flux do use and after refluxing is it more permanent than a week???

the best YLOD repair stories I have heard involve getting some flux under there, you'll want no-clean flux as, obviously, you won't be able to clean it very easily.
