Sony PS3 Slim Yellow Light Of Death (YLOD) Capacitor Fix | Can I Fix It?

[@Kensai127]

Hi I have a PS3 Slim and would like to replace the capacitor as well. Can you share what is the item or model number of the capacitor you need for the PS3 slim?

[@ObliviousTechy]

Hi I used 2.5Volt 330 Micro Farad tantalum capacitors.

Enjoyed your video, thanks! I followed your video and fixed my PS3, that I bought faulty, for my first repair. Those things are really fn hard to get off! Thought I was going to damage something

[@ashainp]

Well done mate! Looks like its brand new

[@ObliviousTechy]

Cheers!

[@cesarvargas4542]

man i have a fat ps3 with that issue for more than 5 years, there it is gathering dust, i guess it's time to fix it with this!! thanks!

[@blackeyedcharlie9740]

Hello there, I have a PS3 Slim that also has the ylod. Would it work if I just buy another motherboard for it?

[@meorpot6924]

Honestly i already changed cap on my ps3 fat. It work for a while, after i trying to update my software the RSX get hot n now it dead. I solve YLOD & now get GLOD. If u really want to repair PLEASE USE SYSCON first to get an error code so u can be sure where the problem came.

[@SnoopGod98]

Is not a permanent fix tho, the new capacitors will fail again eventually, a friend of mine did the same thing to a PS3 fat and slim models, they only lasted like 3 months, plus you can kill your console for applying too much heat to the motherboard if you fix the same issue over and over again

[@normalperson8909]

I pressed on your link and i bought them but they are D226 25V 22UF will they work?

[@chris-hm-ride2634]

Hey i just buy a ps3 slim (Cech-2004A) she was working fine but now when i turn it on it goes off and flashes red

[@baki3629]

Great video just keep it up.Could you tell us a bit more about the red screen that appears on the PS3 and how it is fixed and what is the cause of it? Maybe some video because there is not much about that problem. Thanks.

[@ObliviousTechy]

Thank mate! I'm not familiar with that issue. I'll look into it further and see if I can upload a video.

[@baki3629]

@@ObliviousTechy Thanks mate, it would be great to make a video with this problem because there is not much information about it.RSOD is the right name of problem.I look forward to the video. All the best.

My PS3 slim from 2010 has a very different board, yet the unit looks the same on the outside.

hi friend, just to see how it works, I can do the test to put 4 electrolytic capacitors of 330uf 25v on NEC / TOKIN 03 108

If you're using 330uf 2.5v, why only used 3? The psx place guide said you should use 4, help me with this.

[@user-hv7iq6nr9d]

Excellent channel. Good repairs. I wanted to ask you if 470uf 2.5V is suitable for this repair?

[@sonio1920]

Does this actually permanently fix the YLOD issue? Or does just simply increase reliability? I'm thinking of rebuying a PS3 since my old YLOD back in 2011.

[@pr0sp3r12]

Nope, this is how you solve YLOD. Perma fix.

[@chococornets6985]

Hi, I followed your tutorial for replacing caps in PS3 slim, and encountered a slight problem... So after soldering the caps(caps below the mobo) I tried to turn it on. It turns green for 3 seconds then turns yellow to red light. Then I tried to turn it on again but no light showed this time. What should I do? What I have done: Used caps: 330uf 2.5v D Replaced 2 nec caps below the mobo near RSX and also no jumper wire connected.

[@clementmashala8134]

Replace all

There is a link in the description to see if your model is compatible and I just added the AliExpress link to the capacitors.

hi dude... can you explain how to find out faulty tokin caps. tq

Is it alright to use 470uf tantalum capacitors instead of 330uf?

On Slim 2000 Series? Better stick with 330s, but make sure U measure them, before U perform the mod ... Cheers
