Reball or not still depend on luck aint like laptop or xbox easier, ps3 model 1k and slim the chipset is heavy need to be very accurate technique to fix it ;so nobody can do perfect i can guarantee .

if you mention about sony center , they dont bother to fix but change the whole mainboard instead cost over RM800 more or less.

So nextime take note for new consoles ps3/ps4 after warranty just service once every year replace thermal compound/clear dust , so your hardware can pro-longer lifespan .
