Thread: ps3 fan and blinking red light problem.any help?

Recently i had just opened up my PlayStation 3 and carried out a reflow process.i followed one of the videos up on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_Ic1_TY-GU) through parts 1 to 3 to every detail and upon my finish i now have a new problem.

Before the reflow process i used to turn my ps3 on it would last about 3 to 5 seconds and then turn off showing signs off the ylod problem.Now after the reflow when i turn my ps3 on and it'll remain on for 30 seconds to a minute and finally the fan will boot up really quick and loud and then the ps3 will beep 3 times flash red then yellow and then blink red continuously until i press the on button and then it will remain red.

Any advice. Thanks in advance.

sounds like you have used to much heat and burned it out

or it could be that you have not put enough thermal payste on or too or to much

and did you put the four black screws back in?

By the black screws if you mean the ones that go over the silver spring plates then yes otherwise am not to sure. it probably is that i over heated it, either way it doesn't matter as i threw it all out as it was given to me broken anyway for free so no loss.Nice quick reply though, thanks a lot.
