[@realgroovy24]

This does not actually solve the true issue. The issue is with the NEC/Tokin capacitors which go bad. They're next to the CPU/GPU, it temporarily solves the problem via heat. I suspect the rumor spread from the 360 which actually had the ball joints get hairline cracks and whiskers etc... which a reflow does solve the 3 ring RROD.

[@akaZyloh]

Okay thanks!

[@JDaTopo]

akaZyloh You’re supposed to remove the old thermal paste with like a cloth and some rubbing alcohol or something, heat up the motherboard, then let it sit for a bit, and then you apply the thermal paste last before reassembly.

[@jamesdesjarlais5811]

All your doing is heating up the faulty token capacitors beside the GPU and CPU which cause the console to temporarily work again. It might work for a few weeks or a few days but it’s guaranteed to fail again unless you replace the token capacitors

Hello, it was a heat gun, its used to heat up to the temperature of the fusion point of the solder, so any point of solder that was faulty is now properly set.

[@SkuldChan42]

Do you think mainly the heatgun just melted the heatsink paste just a bit to make it a bit more viscous? I wouldn't think that heatgun would actually be able to reflow any bad solder joints. I'll try it out though.

As an IT Tech by trade I can tell you right now that using a Vacuum is a really bad idea. They generate a lot of static electricity and one wrong touch it will fry the system. Best to use something called a datavac, which is like a can of compressed air but electronic yet designed for this purpose. Or, of course, a can of compressed air itself.

How important is it to heat up the board? I have already taken it apart, removed 99% of dust and replaced the thermal paste. I also sprayed and wiped all of the circuit boards and connections with wd-40 contact cleaner. If it is neccesary for me to heat the circuit boards, and can i do this on the top with a hair dryer still? or will I have to take it apart again and re do the thermal paste?

[@SalamiSlice]

Heating up the motherboard is important, but if your lazy it's not critical

[@ogbmt]

Erik Olson Well my console still won't turn on, so I would think by now it probably is critical. What does heating up the board actually do?

[@SalamiSlice]

ogbmt as far as I know it softens the gold on. The board, if there are any small cracks or flaws caused by the electricity essentially making the material brittle then heating it up releases tension.

[@KaeganThornhillTheCyberRaven]

It depends on what is wrong with the PS3. YLOD or RLOD are pretty much the same thing, however, Yellow is more CPU and Heat Sync trouble related, while Red is Motherboard and Power Supply realted. Plus -- RLOD is more common for PS3 hit by a power surge, while YLOD is ones for one that been used heavyly. Both can be fixed with the same common 4 methods....However -- if the PS3 have power surge damage , then you might have to replace a internal cable/rebbon ; to get it up and Running 100. Edit: But yes, the term "Yellow Light of Death" covers both issues.
