Well, I just killed my ps3

[ReggieFlare]

I was having some problems with it overheating (got the YLOD twice), so I decided to dust off the inside of my ps3 and re-apply the thermal compound on the CPU

For the heating process, I put the motherboard in the oven on 425 degrees fahrenheit for about 7 minutes. Needless to say, many of the components detached from being melted off the motherboard

I know, a million wouldn't even be enough to capture the magnitude of my stupidity...we had a good run

Slap the original HDD in it and have Sony swap it out for a refurbished Slim for 100 or 120

heating process? so the thermal compound could melt( which you shouldn't have too )? or for some other reason?

Nah, some shyt about the GPU balls or something underneath the CPU that need to be re-fluxed. The way you do it is by heating up the motherboard so they can melt and reform. You're supposed to use a heat gun but I didn't have one so I went for the "resourceful" method. Looked it up before I tried

Looking back, I should have just said fukk heating it because I don't think I really needed to do it in my case

I didn't

I still have the hard drive tho, so maybe I can do something with that

No problems. A month ago it turned itself off without me setting it to auto power off. Don't know what that was about but other than that nothings been wrong with it. I just saved and extra 300 so in case it does die I can by another PS3 quick.
