Hi everyone, this is my first post in the PS3 forum. I'm a complete noob in hacking, fixing or anything about the PS3.

So I saw a PS3 Phat YLOD here in the Philippines. I was curios if it's fixable. I heard that it can be fixed but it will only work for a limited time. The owner said that he got it fixed but it only lasted for 5 minutes. Do you think it's still fixable? I saw a vid of gilksy from Youtube but I don't know if it works. Is there a permanent fix?

How much does it cost if I will get someone to repair it if I buy it?

The gilksy repair does work. I've had my PS3 fixed from a YLOD for about a month now with no problems. I dont believe this is a permanent fix, but as long as you do it correctly, it should last you enough to be worthwhile.
Be smart, get the correct tools and work patiently. Its not a hard fix to do yourself. Best of luck.

    in that case, there is no such thing as homebrew launcher for aroma
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    you have to launch your homebrews directly from the wii u menu
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    oh
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    there is a plugin that display them on the wii u menu, pretty sure it is enabled by default
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    so like it doesnt exist
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    yeah
    ?
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    it doesn't exist, at least not for aroma

  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    okay
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I don't have a wii u anymore to test it myself, but if homebrews are not visible on the wii u menu I think you can press L + R + minus to open the plugin menu, there should be an option called "homebrews on wii u menu" or something similar
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    nope
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    it is L+dpad down+ select
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    but homebrew is appearing in the home menu btw
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    yes, now I remember it
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    then it is working, I also don't like that they did this but it is the only option you have if you are using aroma
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
