Launch PS3, 60gb, bc. YLOD fixed, but no video

[All Systems Go]

Hi guys,

Thought I'd give it a shot here before taking this PS3 apart again for parts

I have a PS3 here which supposedly died during the last update (3.60). Ylod.

Fact of the matter is that it was fixed (reflown) once before so I didn't have high hopes of fixing it. Anyway, tried it and lo and behold.. the ylod was gone !

But no video.. not with hdmi, not with standard AV. Tried to get into recovery mode but still no video.

Now, I know it died during an update, so could that be the cause of the non-video stuff ? And if so, is there a way to fix it ?

Of course, a second reflow could have killed the videochip altogether although I'd expect some error beeps or something.

Hope to hear some feedback

I hope its not the case, but it sounds like the video chip is fried. I had my 60 gb launch model reflowed three times, and it kept getting the ylod faster and faster. The last reflow I got about 8 hours out of it. I finally gave up and paid 99 dollars for a reball service on ebay, and now Ive already logged about 60 hours on that ps3 with no problems.

From the sounds of it, that does seem to be the case. Oh well, it's been a fun 4 years

Thanks !
