'Hey everyone,
So recently I have been repairing Playstation 3s with the dreaded YLOD. I bought a rework station and have been doing reflows and hope soon to be doing reballs. Anyways, I've come across two models now that have had this issue. The first one the red LED that comes on for standby mode and what not was dead, burnt out, whatever. Now on one I am working on today both the red and green LEDs are dead or something. The blue one works fine and the console itself is working fine. I tried googling replacing PS3 LEDs but all I got was mainly guides on how replace them in your controller, add mods, etc.
I am just wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to replace these. The console I am working with is a model CECHG01 so the On/Off switch is on the motherboard itself. Not like the original models that had it separate. Has anyone had any experience replacing these LEDs or know any guides out there that might be of some help.
Thanks in advance.
