I might come into possession of a PS3 that has had the YLOD soon. My question is, how long does it usually last after the fix? I've heard anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. So, before I put all the time into fixing this thing potentially every few weeks, I need to know how long the fix usually lasts from someone who has already fixed a YLOD'd PS3. ANy other tips on exactly how to fix it would be helpful too. I'm already using a guide on YouTube, but if there any really important aspects of fixing, it would be nice to know them.
I guess you are using this guide here? YouTube - Chaîne de gilksy1 I had a friend who did the fix around 2 months ago, his PS3 is still working as far as I know. Just be careful, its so easy to totally kill a PS3 doing that fix. Be 100% sure you know what you are doing and take your time. Do let us know if it works!
Actually, I'm using this vid. I'll be as careful as can be. It'd be my luck that I score a PS3 and then fry it
