(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); You dont need to do all this opening the PS3 and taking a risk of ruining it even more. Here is what you do:

1. Get a hairdryer and put it on cold blow.
2. Unplug your PS3 from every cord and put it in front of you.
3. Now turn your PS3 so the vent on the back on PS3( the holes ) are facing you.
4. Now take the hairdryer and put the face of the hairdryer on top of the vents.
5. Now turn the hairdryer on and move it up and down along the vent for 5 mis.
6. Once you've done that you put your PS3 in front of a fan and leave it there for about 10 mins.
7. After you've done that, leave your PS3 alone for about 24 hrs.
8. Once you've waited, turn on your ps3 and there you go!

Hope this helped!!!!!!!!!

Rep+ if this actually worked

I, HIGHLY, doubt a hairdryer will work, but anythings possible. Can anyone confirm?

ive seen something similar to this on youtube, dunno if it actually works, i believe its suppose to be temporary fix though

probably another towel trick, but for the ps3

This does work, tried it about 2weeks ago and its still going

does this work on a ps3 that has been ylod for 3 months??

wow suprisingly this worked for me thanks

Told You all it works!!!

gotta try this hope it works

do you have to wait 24 hours after?

I did this, except I used a vacuum cleaner, to fix mine. It sucked out a lot of dust and after I plugged it in it turned on without the YLOD. Its been a few months and its still working although now it sometimes doesnt beep when I turn it on.
