I bought the ylod repair kit and did everything your guides said but after putting it back together the green light stayed on longer then it did before but after a second or so the yellow light blinked and it started flashing red again. The wifi antenna was also cut so I tryed sodering it back together, I dont know if that would have any effect on the ylod going away or if i just didnt do the ylod repair right.
Is this a good question?

lilesrobert69, here is my answer to a similar question. First you do need to remember that this will only work if your YLOD is caused by solder fractures and if they are not to extreme. Reflowing any board with a heatgun is not an exact science and as such does have a certain amount of failure. The proper fix for this would most likely be a professional reball. Anyhow, the biggest reason for failure to reflow is not enough consistent heat. There is a fine line between reflowing and absolutely melting the solder, so one needs to be aggressive without going over board. If nothing else, get a couple of temperature probes and see what heat you generate. You also need to make sure that you apply the thermal paste properly etc. Follow the guide from here and keep on trying. If at first you don't succeed....:). Hope this helps, good luck.
