Heya,

First of, thank you for making this tutorial.

I just tried this yesterday on a CECHG03 40GB (PAL), but it sadly didn't work for me.

My oven was pre-heated at 200C then I did put the PS3 mobo in it for 10 minutes.

I cleaned the heatsinks with 99% isopropanol alcohol. Then I applied Silver Artic 5 like this:

I also used the No Clean Flux and applied it correctly regarding several youtube videos.

I covered everything (plastic and caps) with Blutack (And the shiny foil side up). And I also removed the battery, and covered it with Blutack and foil as the holder was plastic.

But it returned me a YLOD.

So I tried it again today but letting the oven pre heat at 200C for a even longer time. Then put the PS3 mobo in there and put the temperature to 210C or so.

Repeating the process above..

But it still gave me a YLOD.
I even tried a other power supply. From a CECHC04 60GB (PAL), but again it still gave me a YLOD.

Any ideas? I really want to get it to work now... hehe
