Hey guys, I just wanted to make this really quick video. My PlayStation today, it stopped working and started blinking red. And I didn't really know what that was until I went online and checked it and I figured out it's generally a malfunction warning. It's not the yellow light of death, but there's something wrong with your machine. And generally one of these things would probably overheating. So I watched the tutorial online and completely disassembled the entire PlayStation and came to these guys, which is the CPU and the GPU, which had the thermal cream on it. And I've taken that off using some spirits and I went to a radio shack or in our case, technique, kima gassina and got some new thermal paste. And I saw something very interesting on the thermal paste package and that is that this has a durability of about eight years, which is interesting because the PlayStation is about eight years old. This is like the first version of the PlayStation 3 released in Europe. So if you have a PlayStation 3, the first edition that came out in November of 2007 and it stopped working, you probably need to change your thermal paste. It doesn't mean your PlayStation is broken, but your thermal paste needs to be replaced. So go to your radio shack or to your technique, kima gassina and get some new thermal paste. Now I'm going to put a link under here on a tutorial by Rob Palo, who goes very thoroughly through how to disassemble this thing. He's going to show you how to disassemble the 40 gig, but it's pretty much the same thing. You've got a few extra components that you have to screw out and a few extra screws here and there and some very subtle differences, but the general idea is still the same. So I'm going to try this and I'm going to give you an update if it works or not. Okay, let's see how this works. Now of course just replacing the thermal paste will not be enough to make your PlayStation work again. I actually had to do this twice. The first time I did do the warming up of the motherboard, but I didn't do it enough. You see the thing is you actually have to heat up your motherboard to the point where actually the solder rings slightly melt. So you fix up all the connections. This seems a bit dangerous and it probably, if you go too hard on it, it might be too dangerous, but it's actually quite weird how warm you have to get this up. Now what I did was to go in and change the thermal paste and I warmed up the motherboard with a heat gun and apparently I was a bit too pussy about it, so it wasn't really that hot and it didn't really help. But instead of opening up again, I used another tutorial of somebody who'd done a quick fix just using a normal hair dryer in the vents of the PlayStation for 15 minutes. I did this. The PlayStation turned extremely hot, which I thought like this is going to ruin it, but it's still got to give it a try because I haven't got enough work yet and lo and behold now it works. In other words, you don't need a heat gun to fix the PlayStation, but you do need a thermal paste if you want this fixed to last. I've heard a lot of people saying that this won't last no matter what you do, so you might also want to back up your PlayStation when this starts happening because sooner or later you won't be able to start it up again. This is probably going to happen to a lot of people now around this time because the PlayStation is 780 years old. So I hope this helps a lot of you guys. I'll put the link to the other tutorials in the description and I'll guess I'll talk to you later.
