Another PS3 restoration, this one being the first YLoD repair on the channel. This particular unit is a CECH-H01 model, which is a revision older than the PS3 HDMI repair video that I shared a couple of weeks ago:

YLOD needs no introduction. The console doesn’t turn on and presents a yellow light followed by 3 beeps and a flashing red light i.e. the "Yellow Light of Death" or simply abbreviated YLoD.

fixing a ps3 is not for the faint hearted, it is quite hard to fix, i'd rather just let my ps3 die and just sell it as a parts/for repair console on ebay. i have recapped a pentium 4 pc motherboard, but doing that on a ps3 is next level stuff.

Repairing my PS2 was a cakewalk compared to the PS3. PS2 suffered from DRE, and Sony only offered a temporary solution. Turns out that my drive tray rails were the issue. Later on I bought one of those 3 in 1 cables from monoprice, and it fried the GPU. PS3 had YLOD, and I left one those cellphone repair shops reflow my board. It must’ve worked for an hour then GLOD.

Nice repair! You're right you can't find one without a scratch on the used market cause it's in my house! I bought mine when they first came out; waited in line at Walmart and cost almost $700. I gently rub it with a microfiber cloth every month and use the electric blower on it every 6 months. Just like new!

That's surprising to me, every time I've tried to gently rub something glossy with a microfiber cloth, it still scratches, because no matter how gentle you are you're still pressing the dust against the surface which is what causes the scratches.

The one thing I really like about your channel that I rarely see in repair channels is how much care you put into the repair as far as cleaning the system and keeping everything as original as possible which is also something my company strives for. I would however recommend that you use low melt solder in order to remove those pesky caps. I haven't done the YLOD just yet but I did just recently have a YLOD on a PS3 just come in so I will be attempting this repair.

I intend to swap out more, but I need to order more of these capacitors first. Wish they weren't so expensive. Lots of NEC's to replace on a single board especially with that 4 to 1 ratio.

One thing I've seen noted is the inner two contacts are both ground and the solder plane in-between them is also ground so you can scrape away some solder mask and solder right to the ground plane. Solder paste might be a better option than normal leaded solder it'll have a lower melting point. Really awesome to see it up and running when you first tested it! I have a few I need to do this to. Great work!

Watched your Lynx II video, a very nice refurb which didn't work since I suspect 9V has already fried the cpu. The algorithim recomended me this video, and I have a PS3 sitting in my connection with this same issue. Might get to it one day. Subscribed. Very nice videos, thanks. I recently got a Lynx II, no power, and wired 5V onto the capacitor and got it to power on. So i've ordered all the components to reburb mine as you did yours.

I cried when my 1st PS3 had the YLOD, it was my 1st real console and gave me so much memories.

This will definitely be a great video to come back to when I finally get to my stack of PS3s with YLOD, quite a few being launch models with backwards compatibility. I'm constantly busy with simpler jobs but I hope to get into them and do this myself some day!

love the video. I have a PS3 Fat 60gb in my closet that has the YLOD, but I don't have the tools and skills to fix it.

Two notes: I’m glad you took that thing outside to blow out the dust, and I like your sink.
