Another PS3 restoration, this one being the first YLoD repair on the channel. This particular unit is a CECH-H01 model, which is a revision older than the PS3 HDMI repair video that I shared a couple of weeks ago:
🎮 Sony PS3 "Fat" HDMI Repair:    • Sony PS3 "Fat" HDMI Repair - Faulty C...  

YLOD needs no introduction. The console doesn’t turn on and presents a yellow light followed by 3 beeps and a flashing red light i.e. the "Yellow Light of Death" or simply abbreviated YLoD.
