How to Repair a PS3 with blinking lights

Dec 19, 2011 by Paul White

Recently my PS3 stopped working.  After searching around, I found that the problem was due to bad solder connections between the GPU and the Board.  This would cause it to flash red and or yellow lights when you hit the power button.  It would not boot up.  Some people use a hair dryer to remelt their chips into the board, but this is only a temporary fix if you are lucky.  I wanted to fix it for good, so I sent my PS3 off to SpitFireMods for repair.  The purpose of this article is to share some experiences with other PS3 owners who are considering having their PS3 repaired.
