A VERY different kind of Wanted thread. Ps3 related
Ok, so I got the infamous YLOD and my Ps3 is kaput. I've tried glickskys open the system, clean the heatsink pads and add thermal compound onto the CPU/GPU and heat it all up trick. I re-assembled everything back properly and it didn't work. Turns on but then the yellow light then red and you get the idea.
So then I tried the hairdryer approach. Heated from the back, upsidedown, in the Ps3 box for 15min than cool with a fan for 20min. Still no. So I then heated it again for 15 min to just try it again and no.
So this morning I opened it up and took a wiff of the Power Supply and I think that is the actual problem.
Soooo...Anyone know where I can get my hands on a Ps3 80gig Power Supply? I cant find any listings on Ebay but I would prefer to find someone local or at least iin Canada.
Help Appriciated. All I really want is my saved game data. I know I saved it recently but I only have 3/4 of my memory sticks and I think the missing one has the current saves...just can't find it.
Plus if I do fix my Ps3, well that's a bonus.
Thanks for any help.
