Lmfao, bed time? Since when? Trust you to leave when I come on you part-time sugarpuff :roll:

Hey HUSKIE what did you do to get the PS3 working mate? How long has it been running for? I've only recently heard of the PS3 failures as I never took any notice of them at all, it wasn't until a few weeks back I found out about the "yellow light" error, whatever the hell that is :D

Hey all, and time for me to add this club to my list! How're you all doing?

Hi Lee, Well i did took the cpu chip away from the mainboard then i've Cleaned as well. It's really hard to fix it if you dunno how to use Heat gun and 30 watts of soldering IRON with liquid flux.. until now ps3 is still running very well mate. after i bought from MP i think last month. DUE to hot cpu cause of YLOD of PS3...
 
Huskie if i asked you to solder on a button on my 206 key would you do it lol. My lock button on my 206 key some how came off the circuit board. It came broken when my parents bought the car 2-3years ago.
 
Peugeot 206 car key lol =p

Thanks mate, I'm familiar with circuits and such, although give me a heat gun, you'd better run haha! :roll:

I'm not that bad really with heat guns, it's solders I'm bad with, never really tried them and don't like them because they make my eyes sting... :(

It's great that it's running smooth as a bell, send me a PM and I can speak with you about adding on PS Network as friends, although I only play on the weekends as I leave the PS3 down at my partners as I have the Xbox 360 at mine :rockout:

So most of the YLOD are hot cpu's? A mate I work with part time at the computer shop (the guy actually owns the company hehe) he's tried fixing his old chunky version afew times and had it running a each time but it got progressively worse as time went on, would you say that the way you fixed the one you bought would work on his? I don't think he's re-routed the solder to be fair, but I wouldn't know unless I ask him, I'll do that tomorrow if you like though?

Ive had trouble sleeping over the month. I can sleep at 3am but i always wake up between 5-8am.
 
I'd say its a bit of an asian thing going on there,can't really sleep lol.
I can only sleep for 7-8 hours now but back when i was 12-15 i was able to sleep for good 12hours or so to the point of waking up in afternoon maybe lol.
 
I dont know what it is. I thought it was my bed at first but i used to sleep in it from 2am-11am before but now i wake up in the middle of the night for no reason
 
You must be thinking about lot of stuff,giving you issues sleeping.
