I haven't played my PS3 (PHAT Model originally manufactured in 2007) in a couple months. When I finally wanted to use it, the machine would not start up - it was basically bricked. Turns out it has the infamous Yellow Light of Death (YLOD) which means that the graphics and cpu chips needs to be "reflowed". I called a local video game store asking them to fix it but they said that they no longer service the PHAT PS3 Models anymore (when they did the price was ). Anxious to take care of it, I decided to try to take matters into my own hands and attempt to fix the YLOD myself. This video isn't so much a technical how-to, it's more my experience through the process. Enjoy.

I mostly used Greg Smith's awesome YLOD Tutorial found here:

Items Used:
Torque #10 Safety Screwdriver
Phillips Head Screwdriver (Optional Drill)
Rubbing Alcohol
