so my ps3 has been in the yellow light of death stage for quite some time, it is the original ps3 one from release and was wondering if anybody could link me to a guide or tell me of a way to fix it?.

I know the fix doesn't last forever however I would like to play a couple of ps3 games before i contemplate buying another one.

youtube it
you need a heat gun+thermal paste
paste is like $10 a heat gun is like 50+ tho iirc

I would imagine taking it somewhere to get it fixed would cost around the same, no?

yeah but if its somebody thats done it a bunch of times id almost trust them more then myself

ps4 or bust

Professionally it costs about $100

Random people yeah around $50

Meh for 100$ could almost buy a new one.

Also I've heard that most ylod fixes aren't permanent?

Is this true?

they usually last like a month or 2 maybe like 3-4 if your lucky
atleast from what ive read online and heard about
