Just want to share:My PS3, a phat 40GB CECHH06, YLOD-ed (first time after 5 years of service) on 23rd Jan 2012 while playing multiplayer Battle Field 3. Fluxed (Kester No-Clean #951) and reflowed (400 °C) the board on 31st Jan 2012. Backed up and hoping it doesn't happen again (at least 2 - 3 years  ). Tried Battle Field 3 for 2 hours just now with no problem. P/s: To those who reflowed their PS3, did you guys flux the board before reflowing?  And, btw, my PS3 inside wasn't clogged up with dirt.

QUOTE(lovehatesmisery @ Feb 8 2012, 12:55 AM) My 80GB ps3 is officially going nuts. Tried playing FFXIII-2 today, and about 30minutes into the game my PS3 just shut downs with 3 beeps, and blinking red light. No yellow light. I tried loading back the game, and each time I reload from my save file and the game begins, my PS3 dies. No problems in the start screen whatsoever though. But when I tried other games for more than an hour like FFXIII, Batman:AA, GOW3, Uncharted 3; my PS3 is fine.. But the shutting down also rarely happens when I play Battlefield 3 (PSN version). Whaz happening eh?  Could be a sign of YLOD. Let your console cools down. And then back up your data. p/s: There is a yellow light, it only comes out probably less than 1 sec. |

How long have you gotten your PS3? Besides, just do backup first, then when YLOD comes, have someone to reflow it for you. There are tons of people offering this service in the Games Sales section.  |

Repair it for back up purposes. Get new one is better.

Maybe bad ventilation? Anyway, just repaired another YLOD console. It seems that this one is getting graphic artifacts after repair. Any suggestions?

I read in other forums, graphic artifacts happen if RSX is about to die Better ask the owner to do back up A.S.A.P |

QUOTE(deyamato @ Mar 8 2012, 12:44 PM) BD-rom cannot be swap,its like your drive isn't married to your motherboard, your Drive controller board is. therefore you can swap lens and trays out no problem.  which means father recognize son ,only can work together. and theres a single lens and double lens model,you can try dissassemble it take a look. Aahhh... I see... Mine is double lens... You got extra lens to sell? |
