Trying to Fix a Playstation 3 CECHA01 Console w/YLOD Part 3: Over the Hump

This is part 3 of my attempt to repair a Sony Playstation 3 (Model CECHA01) afflicted with the "Yellow Light Of Death" (YLOD) malfunction.

This is part 3 in a series of 4 videos.

In this episode I finish exposing the motherboard, clean the old thermal paste and thermal pads off of the chip-sets, heat the chip-sets with a heat gun (off camera), and apply new thermal paste to the chip-sets and heat-sync (heat-sync application was off-camera).
