(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok i recently found this way on YouTube and tried it and the reason i didn't record is because i thought it wouldn't work.... BUT IT DOES!

This wont damage anything, there can be a game and HDD in the system while you do this and it wont mess it up.

Things needed:
- 2-3 Towels or shirts
- Hair dryer
- Fan (optional but takes less time with it)

First off place the PS3 on the 1st towel/shirt like this:

Next wrap both sides up then the back up like so:

Then do the same thing with the second towel/shirt but flipped it over and wrap it:

After that take your hair dryer and put it about 3-4inches from the back of the ps3:

(yes thats a flash light.... i couldnt find the hair dryer its just for an example)
Leave the hair dryer running for 15 minutes (no less and not much more or you will melt your ps3)

Pull the ps3 out the towels (it WILL! be hot) then place it in front of a fan for 5-10min:

(you will hear snapping... its because the plastic getting hot then cold quickly)

This is a video i found (he did a box but towels work better because it keeps the heat in better)

Good chuckle, won't work.

You must be semi-retarded.

Why not trying first instead of acting like fags?

you must be fully retarded because it does work

Sorry for doubting you, I should believe everything I read on the internet from now on.

and if it didnt work i wouldnt take the time to take pics and do a tutorial.... i would just say "wrap your ps3 in towels and put a hair dryer to it for 15min"

You are the reason all of tax payer money goes to the fire department. This isn't safe. Even if it did work, you are stupid for trying such a thing. If your PS3 get's YLOD instead of trying a stupid thing like this why not buy a new one. There is a much better way to fix YLOD which I did to my friend's PS3. You open it up and reheat the soldier points around the CPU and GPU and voila your done. Heating the entire PS3 console causes more damage then there was before.

and this is easier and you cant catch anything on fire unless you ****ing shove paper in the damn hair dryer, some people might not have the stuff to do it the way you did, and a little hit the hair dryer melts the solder

I could see how this could possibly work but I wouldn't recommend anyone to try it as it could potentially not help and damage your PS3 even more until it's not even repairable.
Thanks for the tutorial though!
