We had an original PS3 in the playroom for kids that had died of YLOD at power on (blink blink blink dead). After some reading and snooping, I decided to try the solder reflow trick even if just to get it to stay on long enough to backup the hard drive to transfer to a replacement. The way I saw it, even if it didn't work or torched the unit, it was useless in that condition anyway so no further loss other than a few bucks and some time. Did the whole tear down/reflow (stripped bare motherboard in 424 degree oven for 10 minutes) and surprisingly, it worked like a charm.

Backed up the HD as soon as it came on, sure it would die again in a day or so, but it's been playing like a champ for a month and counting.

The old heatsink material was thinner and did not make good tight contact between tray and ICs, (and some were missing or too damaged to use) and as nobody seems to sell the thicker thermal tape itself (unless you want to buy $400 worth), an Xbox kit was worth a gamble. A little messy to cut, but by quartering each piece, I had enough to completely redo all the small ICs on the motherboard, and they seem to be doing their job.

As usual with small items, the shipping is outrageous compared to the product itself, but we live in the mountains and will never have anything like this in stock locally, so it is what it is.

These I believe are completely overpriced but seem to work fine. That is all I have to say about the subject.

The picture in misleading. You think you are getting 4 1inch pads when the four total = 1x1inch. We were unable to use this product because of the size.
