Ps3 YLoD Attempted fix's. Any more ideas?

you can feel free then to explain why they are so difficult then as you posted earlier.
I was repairing at least 25 a week of these using the foil on the board with success

 

I agree. there is no need to use tinfoil to protect rest of board.

 

Answers on a postcard please

 

Let me get this straight, you were doing 25 consoles a week and still use a heatgun and tin foil? Are you kidding me? I think your numbers are far off. I've probably repaired 25 360's a week at some point but the ps3's don't break near as often. I absolutely hate the heatspreader design but it seems to work if you keep the ps3 clean. Though we cant really say that for the ps3 slims.

A heat gun just isn't the right tool for the job, get the correct tools or stop playing repair man.

 

before i got my reflow station i was using a heatgun,and i had a good rate of success with it,you have to know how to use it properly,but the reflow station,its like day and night,the fix is much more solid,and it lasts much longer,i to us a walmart griddle,george foreman at that,and im at 99.9% success rate,with flux,so get a reflow station,,it will pay for itself in no time,,cheers

 

I was buying these on ebay for around £50.00 each on ebay last year and selling them for around £160.00 when repaired with no comebacks.
I took just under £3500.00 on christmas week repairing these,so I think I know what I am talking about

 

I also repair the compaq presario laptops using the same method and everyone has had success.
Funnily enough I bought one from a repair shop that I collected when I bought it from ebay and fixed that also with no issues.
I still have it working now after 6 months and as for repairing ps3 and xbox 360s,I was repairing on behalf of cash converters
