    PS3 has YLOD, tried the temporary fix myself hoping to get through the xmas with it but went again after 2 weeks, any place in Dublin area that reballs the GPU and how much?
    Any info appreciated, thanks.

    Wouldn't hold much hope for a permanent fix for your PS3 if you took a heat gun to it already

    I'm afraid I'll have to second this.
    A heatgun is no substitute for a rework station.
    It may seem to be the cheaper way out but your only burning a bigger hole in your pocket in the long run

    My apologies to butt in on the OPs tried but I was asking in the main forum about getting my PS3 reballed. The kind fellow who replied mentioned that there were some folk here who do it and offer a pretty decent warranty.

    It died perhaps 12-18 months ago and I put off getting anything done with it as no-one seemed to offer a decent fix. I learnt of the reball there a few weeks ago so was hoping to get this done. I've never gone near it with a heat gun or anything like that.

    So can anyone recommend a place/user to do it and preferably with a bit of warranty? It's a 60GB phat model which had the 60GB replaced with a 320GB.
