Sony PS3 "Fat" YLOD Repair - Faulty Console Restoration

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:

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.

🩺 Need some help to remove your PS3 heat spreader/IHS (not for the faint of heart).
Check out @NSC Modz for years of videos on IHS removal tips. He even makes his own IHS removal tool. I don't have the balls to do it but maybe you do. If you try it let me know how it goes.
