My launch 360 died around 2 years in from rrod, and I tossed it in storage and bought a new one, 60gb launch ps3 died about 5 years in, same deal for storage, last year Tamron revived them both on a reballing station, used leaded solder balls on a bga stencil, for GPUs, CPUs, memory, and the ANNA/HANNA chips on the 360, both now work flawlessly.
New consoles that had high nm interconnects generated a lot of heat, heat + RoHS solder = failure.
Ironically I still have my launch day ps1 and 20 years on (wow I feel old) it still runs fine.
