I do worry that this will just happen again though. Only time will tell now. It makes 100% sense why the YLOD is caused by bad capacitors. I personally dont think the "reballs" did anything but temporarily rejuvenating the capacitors from the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably true since I've heard that they had a 85%+ re-death rate after a year or two (another reason I never did it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amiman99 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Can you show us which capacitor you are talking about? I have a 20GB PS3 that is sitting disassembled in the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amiman99 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Thanks for the pic. I just checked my old PS3, and... my motherboard is gone, I think I trashed it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a dead CECHA01 to recap but haven't got around to it yet. Im lucky enough to still have a job. If I get laid off then I'll use that time to fix another one.
