Ive got a 60 gig with full BC bought in spring 2007, I figured its well out of warranty so may as well take it apart and see if I can get some of the dust out of my heat syncs and maybe check my thermal paste.
Heat sync was about 30-45% blocked up with dust and my thermal paste was dried up, probably some time ago.
Long story short I cleaned out the heat sync, cleaned off the cell and Rsx and put some fresh thermal paste on it and now my fan wont even come on to high setting. Which is nice because it was starting to get pretty loud running on high all the time.
So I have a question for those of you who have had unit failures.
Did you do any maintenance on your console before it died?
Is this something that will fight off ylod?
Thoughts?
