    I had YLOD so it was impossible to start the PS3 (retrocompatible PS3 FAT). I tried what you did but with a hair dryer for a few minutes and it works perfectly now. Thank you

    I know the solution here guys, your internal thermal paste is seized, you need to remove the cpu cover then replace the thermal paste inside, the CPU cover is made with aluminum, just scrape it with plastic gently, carefully, you will see inside theres a thermal paste probably solid already

    This metod works only for few hours or days, and after repeting this metod the ps3 GPU & RTX will be destroyed, don't do this metod, the only way to repair your ps3 is to reballing GPU & RTX or if the problem are the capatitors NEC- tokin must be replaced

      people say this because Xbox 360s (mostly Xenon models) had RROD mostly because of microsoft using unleaded solder balls instead of leaded, thus causing RROD if they cracked. because PS3s had YLOD at the time, people assumed there was unleaded solder in the PS3 as well. in actuality, it’s sorta the GPU/CPU’s fault. on the 360, the RROD was caused by mostly the solder balls, it could be a lot of other things causing it (capacitors, dead DVD drive etc). on the PS3, while the RSX may bridge solder, that’s extremely rare, most of the time it’s always the faulty NEC/TOKEN capacitors.

    This problem is due to the malfunction of the NEC tokin capacitors if they are not replaced the problem returns, this problem also happens in the fat ps3 models
