So this past Saturday a good friend of mine witnessed the death of his PS3. Unfortunately both his Sony and Extended warranties had expired and was forced to choose between two options: accept defeat and buy a new PS3 or try to operate and fix at home. That when my phone rang…grabbed my electronics kit and next thing you know I had opened and re-fluxed a PS3. This only temporarily fixed the issue because we didn’t have an industrial heat gun necessary…if you or someone you know has a heat gun, please let me know!!

Pretty sure my dad has one of them that looks like a gun, and I think it has a trigger. It's pretty old though so I'm not sure how well it works. Looks kinda like this

ReplyDeleteoh....... heat gun... my bad, read it wrong. Yeah... No heat gun here. I have them at school, but not about to steal one from the lab.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you need the heat gun for anyway?
You need it to "re-flux" the processor. Basically we clean off the old thermal paste and add new....but i guess it needs to have been heated crazy hott for it to take...
