'''Unfortunately everything I read hear about fixing the YLOD on a PS3 is 100% wrong !! first , YLOD has nothing to do with the CPU so heating the CPU is a big mistake that everyone is doing, YLOD is a bad connection between the GPU chip and the motherboard regardless which model a fat or a slim, second using any kind of Flux makes things worse , when using flux first it has to be the proper kind of flux for BGA packages, more important it has to be a very thin layer and distributed equally, clearly that can not be done by using a liquid flux or by just flooding under the chip with flux, when you do that you will be just making a layer of unmixed flux with solder that actually makes an extra isolation layer between the solder and the chip or the solder and the board and most probably both, the reality is that there are two kinds of repairs non of them can be done at home, they have to be professionally done in order to achieve a real repair not just a try and error or hit or miss. the first one is a...

This is not a repair, it might get the console to work for few days but it is not a real or permanent fix. The actual reason for the problem is one of two things, a bad soldering connection between the APU chip and the motherboard or a bad soldering connection between one or more of the graphics memory chips - 8 to 16 per console depends on the model - and the motherboard, using washers will not fix soldering issues so the problem still there even if the console work temporarily . The actual solution and real repair is Reballing the APU chip to fix the broken soldering connection and if that doesn’t fix the problem then Reballing all graphics memory chips is a must. You need to find a real professional repair company that really do Reballing to fix the console. nothing else will work. Good luck all.
