most definately it needs REFLOW (if its fat model you good 99% of success, SLIM model 5% chance)
1. take it apart, clean any excess of grease, dust, dirt or old heatpaste leftovers
2, reflow (put your board in preheated oven at 210C with fan setting on for about 6-7 mins
3. let the board cool naturally, don't rush
4. reapply heatsink compound 1mm layer on both chips.
5. re-assemble
should be 99% chances
hey thank you for replying back ! as to cleaning the mother board ...i am guessing i got to remove the freshly put thermal paste huh? there seemed to be some thermal paste on ps3 and other stuff on ps3 that probably got there from last time i sent it to get fixed any secure way to clean the motherboard? would i have to get new pads aswell? or i can i peel em off and stick em back after with thermal paste?
ivan,
Hi, seems like u need to reflow the motherboard. Search on the internet for how to use an oven to help you do this at home. However, I recommend that u watch a couple of videos and then attempt it. Clear all ur doubts before you try to do it. Write back on what u did. Good luck.
