LOL~ actually the slim version is ok enough adi... the slimmer is juz slightly different in heat and power consumption...

Actually after phat ps3 problem i dont dare to get 1st batch of playstation product. Anyway like wat u said not many nice game released on psv, maybe wait few years later will hav more interesting games and might hav H@3k to play ahem games... XD

actually i wouldn't suggest send to reballing, it helps depends on luck, coz i sent mine to reballing as well, but it didn't last long, like weeks only, but might last long as well as i said it depends on luck, anyway save the money juz get a new 1... dont 1 2 waste uncessary money on reballing IF the problem occur again, if u want to take back the files, just use the reheat method cheap cheap like RM80 someone did on lowyat and recover all the files and take it as a collection or sell it off as parts... LOL~ anyway regarding my reballing issue, i not sure those technician really did their job on REBALLING, but still i think the best way is to change a new 1...

im 90% sure they are using reflow.
i can give a 1 year warranty, on condition after 6month the owner send to me for service and thermal paste replacement.
thats how much i trust in reballing. notworthy.gif

i understand how much frustration malaysia consumers regarding to this issue since the beginning of RROD and YLOD almost 99% the shop in malaysia is using reflow. most of the users here have a bad experience in repairing YLOD because of reflowing. more over got some people who 'claim' to do reball.
real technician that do reball will post pic/video on their work. why? because we are proud of it, it is afterall, among the hardest repair to do notworthy.gif

Bro u sure that it can last long? If u reli can, I would gladly recommend ppl to let u fix it and will send mine for u to fix as well, if it reli last long, is not that im doubting ur words, but I would like to see what would said by the customer, coz I used to send mine to this fella they did show some of the picture of their recalling machine and the soldering that looks like tiny balls rite? Because I hav ask some other technician they said that even reballing or change the gpu might last long and it might not...
Actually I did research on this, correct me if I'm mistaken, leaded soldering is not good to the environment that is why they have to use lead free soldering, but I not sure whether there is good and bad quality lead free soldering... Lol

we have been reballing just around 9 month actually. no return so far (only 3 macbooks, but was the firsttime we learn reball and didn't have the correct thermal profile.). can you give the link to those guys who do reball?
