Hi guys, my cusin bought 60GB PS3 launch version with YLOD:RED light with 3 beeps, fluxed and reflowed 2 times(memory+CPU+GPU) but YLOD still remains(i'm not a newbie).
Nothing looks broken, some parts of board are overheated(shows melted original flux) like near connections(HDMI).
Got good heatgun and flux.
Can you help me what to peatention ?

You have to do a reball. I bet that system had been worked on more than once before and now the cracks are irreversible. Or something else is totally damaged, the YLOD isn't an exclusive sign of the microcracks error, just a general sign that something is broken.

Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

Reball will cost for me a lot($60-70 i guess) and after it i'll have no warranty it will work or not.
Do you think is worth to try one more reflow? I spended 30-40 sec on each memory, 40 sec on CPU+GPU each x2(twice) do you think wasn't enough?

If you yourself have not tried it at least once, then it probably wouldn't hurt to try...it sounds like the thing has already been baked many times.

Do a visual inspection of the system too...make sure that none of the little parts appear burned or otherwise damaged, also check the caps for any expansion or ruptures. Don't forget to check the various cables and the board inside the PSU while you are doing these checks.
