Damn PS3 died on us the other day and I was wondering if anyone has ever tried this fix http://wheretobuyps3.com/index.php/2009/10/ps3-yellow-light-of-death-fix/ of reflowing the motherboard with heat guns?
Seemed to be the most detailed help site outthere on the process and wasn't trying to sell me a self help manual for life in the bargain :lol:
Its an older model sought out 2nd hand, mainly for the PS1 and PS2 abilities (ours was dying) and as a blu ray/dvd player and has frankly been good for that and little else, as the bugger just wants to download updates everytime you ever switch it on! Definitely my least favourite modern console, though I am no fanboy of any machine as they all have their perks, so no need to get defensive anyone :rolleyes: !
As its quiet on the boards whilst we await IKEA stress testers to demolish the Pandora nubs, i thought I'd add a poll to see what people own and if many people have had to replace units or fix them themselves from the big 3.
Feel free to add your personal favourite machines and what you've done with them i.e Homebrew etc and any bad experiences and dislikes etc
Or feel free to ignore it as I was just bored and I doubt it will tell us much, except there are manufacturing issues with everything in the era of manufactured obsolescence over excellence! :angry:
