Hey
I have a couple of questions regarding PS3 Phat.. I have 2 consoles both now dead..
One I have gave graphical errors/crazy green screens before freezing a number of times at the dash and then YLOD/RLOD. After reflowing the board and new paste it now turns on, hangs at green for about 10 seconds before 3x beep flashing red. Safe mode or display reset do not work. Any ideas?
Also on another separate console I have after YLOD and a reflow of the board /new thermal paste it did not appear to work and still YLOD. Is there a limit on the number of times you can do that process? I saw a video to remove the IHS but I could not get the chip off at all (even broke the metal tool trying so gave up)
Thanks!
Sorry this should be in Hardware my bad
