I have a fat 40GB PS3 for sale. A couple weeks ago my wife was watching a movie on it and it gave the YLOD and shut down on her. We replaced it with a new PS3 slim since we needed to have it back up that day.
Over the weekend I repaired this PS3 by reflowing the solder on the CPU and GPU, then applying some arctic silver thermal paste to the heat sinks. We used it for approximately 7 hours over the weekend to see if it was successfully repaired and so far it has been just fine.
Since we have a PS3 slim, and it is quieter than this old fat one, I am selling the fat one.
This PS3 has a known good blu-ray drive and comes with one six-axis controller, power cord, A/V component cable, and no games. It has minor cosmetic damage on the front where it got banged during a move (a small crack on one corner) but it does not affect operation. No pics but I think we all know what the fat PS3's look like.
I am asking $175 OBO. NO TRADES
