I just put a little slither of the paste on the left hand side and spread it evenly around the surface using an old credit card.
Haven?t got any pics and its now all screwed back together. If it fails again I will post some.

Hello,
Just some info that may be useful: now that my ps3 works again I noticed that the fan is running very fast when I play games like little big planet, and slow in XMB or while playing small games like pixel junk monsters. What is strange is that it never did before it yolded: I heard the fan running but always at the same speed, very low noise.
So I guess my ps3 had a fan-speed-control problem and that?s maybe why it yolded.
What I don?t get is why my fan is running at different speeds from now. How did I fix this? What has changed?
-new heatsink may better transmit heat to a temperature captor ?
-reflow reconnected something that was not connected from the beginning ?
Hope I am clear ant that it may help?

Anyone might be interested in a group by of preformed BGA solder quiks?
I might be buying some, but the more you buy the cheaper it is.

Got a YLOD yesterday. Disassembled my Danish 60 gb (got it on release day back in '06), after having read thread and pdf.
Seeing how poor a job that have been made with the 'factory mounted' thermal glue I am not surprised my unit made a lot of fan noise pre-YLOD.
On the left chip is is liquid-ish and on the right it is dry.
I will keep you posted on my progress.

Okay 4th time applying paste and so far all seems well. No graphics problems or anything, the fan reached stage 2 however the plastic on the right side still seems so hot. I am just so worried about this as i do not want it to ylod again as unfortunately (i do not know how?) but i seemed to have worn down one of the little screws to to get to the motherboard :-( and i do not know how to unsrew it now. I can still access the chips but will not be able to heat gun it if it ylods :-(

blu ray doesnt cause YLOD ..its either the motherboard or the power supply as far as i know ! i have switched the console on without any blu ray drive on it and it works without probs ..so no way its YLOD cause of that

please be advised only use hotter temps and time if original setting do not repair youre ylod!
i set them at what they are for safety and exssesive heat for prolonged periods of time can cause delamination of the nulti layer board!
but yes if careful you can increase temp by 50-100 deg c
and time by 5-10 secs
BUT PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION
good luck

2nd time I only did it to the Cell processor. I did it for 17 sec. on both sides.
First time I had the feeling I did not heat it enough - and therefore I was a bit more agressive the 2nd time.
I have a heat gun that have two steps. According to the manual first step is around 300 degrees and 2nd is around 600 degrees (both in celcius). Besides that there is a nob I can turn to 'fine tune' again according to the manual. That nob is divided from A to E - I ran it at D. I must admit I do not have a clue about what the temparature is a the nozle.
The processor got very hot. I am not sure since the heat gun made a lot of noise, but I think I heard a 'pop' as I was heating it.

Ok I tried twice and got nadda. I don't know the temp exactly but it was around 400. I might try one more time and if it dosen't work I'm just gonna but a new one swap the serial numbers and return the old one. Most retailers don't check to see if the warranty is voided(I know who dosen't :)) or if the hdd is in it so I'm gonna keep that too just out of spite. I'm sorry but I'm not paying 150 to fix something I didn't break u know. Hopefully it wont come to that because I really want my game saves.

... and then it died... again.
After five minutes on standby, then fan went to step two, and five minutes later two times overheat and then YLOD.
Have anybody had luck fixing it twice?
