[@kodycushman3366]

omg.....spot on it works....THANK YOU, now i don't have to talk to my boyfriend anymore...

[@jidehonda1142]

WORKED FOR ME!!! LIKED!!! Except put 4 pennies on both chips so that way you don't have to worry about it again. Tried this on a 160GB slim CECH-2501A and works perfectly and have had no problems since!!!

[@Kowasaki813]

Do you have to put thermal compound on them?

[@thrillamoe50]

Melvin Dickson yes get some rubbing achohal an clean the old stuff off then put new thermal paste on with the pennies

[@RedSevenEleven]

I have something to add to this. If you go through the trouble of buying arctic silver and opening the machine, just replace the old thermal paste on the GPU and CPU chips and increase the tension on the clamps by bending them more. That's essentially what is happening with the pennies pushing the GPU to the board more flush. I bypassed the pennies by bending the clamps a bit and it worked perfectly! Thanks for the info in your vid

[@livegoodpaducah]

LOL, you beat me to it. The pennies are just pushing the processor into the board. Simply bending the clamp is the same thing.

[@megamanhikari8095]

Wade's Body Shop what clamps do you bend

[@juaquindeanda3316]

Wtf y'all actually put pennies in your system? Lol that can't be good for your system bro...lololol

[@itznazz3137]

When your bending, are you bending inward or outwar

[@XeomKY]

OK so I got a different GLOD it happens sometimes in game or I hold down PS he button and I say yes exit game and it stays on a black screen for a long time so I go to the ps3 and press the button and it makes 3 beeps and the green light is still on but the TV screen is completely black its on but then I have to unplug the ps3. Please help me I don't want to lose all the memory on the system. The ps3 is only 5 yrs old....

I am now in 2024 and this method worked for me thank you

[@jlin1212]

It worked for me too. but did you have a problem with the CPU overheating afterward ?

[@NipseyOCE]

Thanks so much dude, I exited out of BO2 and went to KZbin and this happened This was so much help

[@xinhzai11]

4 pennies work for me but fan run full blast and red led blinking although i use a lot of thermal compound. any help ?

[@JereWasTaken]

xinhzai11 what is the penny trick I can't find it and where

[@jlin1212]

I tried this. It worked ! Now I have pictures. However, the the CPU runs 175 F and the RSX runs 134 F. I think the uneven pressure is causing this. I try to put penny on the CPU, but no picture again. lol

[@niccolosimonelli7791]

I've bumped my ps3 slim and I've the GLOD, whit these tutorial I can repair it! Thanks

[@raiika0712]

I have the same symptoms but the thing is my controller syncs fine tho, and the HDD light indicator is flashing when I turn on/off my console. Also my TV screen is flashing when I turn the console off. Any Ideas?

[@simplegaming2781]

One question.... Have u ran into anymore issues considering the coins?

[@danieldonovan3597]

absolutely fantastic solution. I've tried everything to fix my friends 250gb slim to no avail. i saw this and thought I would give it a shot it worked first time and has worked ever since.

[@IamFennec]

ok so what does it mean when it doesn't work... mine is doing exactly what you showed in the video... I put the pennies in... still nothing. mines a fatty but other then that theres no difference. Advice?

[@erikhoeffner]

It's not a GLOD it's because your video settings were set wrong. Holding it down once reset it already...

[@kulunguele9]

you have to put the pennies on the top of the RSX. If you clean the thermal compound before, it´s written on the metal which one is the RSX and which is the CPU.

[@kulunguele9]

yes, I´ve tried with another tv and I also have change the power supply. Finnaly I solved the problem putting 4 pennies over the headspreader of the RSX to push it to the motherboard.

[@mahmoudkebese4614]

How

[@juaquindeanda3316]

There's no such thing is "glod"... These models don't really get any "lights of death" especially a green one..lol But I'm glad you fixed it, usually it's a simple heating/ventilation problem fixed by cleaning out all dust inside and reapplying thermal paste.

[@GuardianModz]

Thank you SO MUCH my PS3 is now fixed!

[@panashegibbons7225]

[@ShawnTufford]

Dooley Boy Mine too at least im not alone mine happen when i tried loading gta 5 and it said i needed to update system but i was fully up to date 4.80, and i had to go to the playstation site to get the update link, so i put the update on my usb then put the usb in my ps3 then it said hold select and start together and so i did it and it found the update and downloaded it then right after it installed, after it installed right after 100% it went to a black screen and i tried to turn it off and it wouldnt unless i hold the power button, and when i turn it on nothing shows ,my controller wont sync ,ps3 wont turn off till i hold the power button and now im stuck with this untill i send it to sony to repair it ,and i have a super slim btw

I tried resetting the input/output while it was connected to my HDMI cable and again with just the av cables and again with both at the same time.. my green light is coming on the yellow hdd lights flash for a few seconds after letting the power button go but still nothing... please help idk what else to do..

[@mowowie]

American pennies are now something like 95% Zinc and coated with 5% Copper. You got to go back to the early 80's to find mostly copper pennies. My nephews PS3 has black screen of death but also does not recognize the controller when plugged in. Already have it half way apart wondering if i should try this......

[@thesunlightpanel5555]

The red light on my PS3 won't show up preventing me from turning on my PS3 and yes the cords are connected and i'v tried blowing in the plugs but it still won't work

[@kulunguele9]

yes, It´s under the fan, take off all the screws and you have to remove the old thermal compound of the RSX (RSX is written on there). Just put the pennies over it covered by thermal compound :)

[@mevlentips9844]

is the fix permenent or mine happaned after i changed the termal paste

Fixing a broken BGA connection applying extra force from the top. As soon as that connection is broken again (oxidation on the surfaces of the cracked ball) your PS3 will GLOD again.

Hola. Te hago una pregunta las monedas las pusiste arriba del RSX? O sea abriste la play sacaste el ventilador la placa sola y pones las mones, y dsp cerras todo?

[@Greavesy]

I’ve just got this. Starts and then you can hear the fan stop and the green light flashes. Hopefully it’s just the thermal paste and nothing too serious. Just as long as I manage to get it working again to save my saves I’ll be good.

[@Greavesy]

@Ahmer Huaasin Yes temporarily. Used thermal paste and then transferred data to a usb and I have a new ps3 now

[@Greavesy]

@Ahmer Huaasin I would just transfer your saves to a usb and get a new ps3 because it will only fix it for a short while

no i never did i jut took out my hard drive and threw the ps3 away (the reason i did was becasue i got it on sale for $150 and it would cost me more than i paid for it to fix it

did you put it on the card or on the back?

Hey im not sure if i have glod because it wont connect to the tv or controller but if i do the recovery it does but then it freezes if i try to restart or update system also when i try to restore default settings (supposed to take 5 mins) i was waiting an hour and then i just turned it off. im pretty pissed off because i only bought it like 4 days ago

[@HighExecution]

Same Problem with me!

[@elotherios9524]

me too

[@Simply_Fatal]

did you ever get it fixed

[@GaijinKaiju]

I don't know if any of you managed to get your consoles sorted, but that sounds like a corrupt HDD. Remove your HDD and see if the console displays a cannot start message. If if does (because the HDD has the firmware) then you replace the HDD and install the latest firmware version using a USB flash drive. If not (like me) then it is the GPU. The guy I bought mine from on eBay is about to experience a shit storm of biblical proportions...

[@noecasas5548]

How do u fix it????mine does the same thing

[@DarkShadowHawk720]

Do you need to heat sink before adding the pennies?

[@vicx05]

yes where exactly did you push it down?

[@DarkShadowHawk720]

After doing the pennies, the fan on the ps3 slim once its been on for just 5 seconds will get noisy and there absolutely no dust in the ps3 slim. Thoughts?

[@alexsolano490]

so without the termal paste will it work and why the thermal paste ?

[@nitrate92]

It’s assuming you’re using HDMI.

[@TheBlackSStar]

what CECH model is your PS3?

[@ezequielboccuti9194]

A mi me pasa el mismo problema, el tema que yo la tenía chipeada y no se podía actualizar hasta que fue actualizada y después empezó hacer lo mismo, prende pero no da nada de imagen la tv ni nada, probé con otra fuente y tampoco nada. Vs pudiste encontrar alguna solución?

if someone have ps3 its best to put the ps3 in glass cabinet where is dust free and you wont have this problem

[@daveshapiro2081]

the ps3 is on just make sure your cords are tighter in the tv this is not a problem the ps3 slim 320 gb version does NOT get the yellow light of death and the ps3 super slim does NOT get the yellow light of death either
