Hey guys! Just wanted to talk to you all for a second about the dreaded YLOD, and how you can prevent it at home from happening to you.
For those that dont know YLOD, or Yellow Light of Death happens when the soldering joints on the GPU are cracked. This happens because of overheating from consistant play. Doing things like adding new thermal pads or thermal paste can aid this. As well as making sure your PS3 is sitting vertical and not horizontal. On top of that keeping it as clean, and dust free as possible really helps. Some of these things are quite difficult and can void your warranty on your PS3. So if you want your PS3 repair done and taken care of by professionals you should visit us here!
Now many of our customers who suffer from the YLOD ask, what is the difference between the Reball and the Reflow service, and why should I go with one and not the other?
Well, with the Reflow service, you have the solder joints that are originally on your GPU fixed. This process is $50 and comes with a one year warranty. The Reball service adds all new soldering joints to the GPU and comes with a 1 year warranty. The cost for that service is $80. We suggest you go with the Reball because its longer lasting. The soldering job that came with the PS3 is not really built for long term gaming, so the joints are bound to break from time to time. We at Endless Electronics can take care of any and all PS3 repair issues quickly and professionally.
