Hey guys been a while since ive been on here. Yeah so basically my ps3 got ylod and i bought the Articclean and thermal paste kit and i did the process to fix it yesterday and it worked. but 1) the image wouldnt come up on the tv. 2) me thinking it wouldnt work didnt plug in the blu ray drive.. so i took it apart to put it back together and when i put it back together this morning it wouldnt turn on. like when i switched it on at the bk the light wouldnt even come up. :( anyone know whats up?

video attaches to the back of the main board and can't be unplugged, and power goes to the power supply unit and then attaches to the board.

while it can be easy to forget to hook up the power supply to either the back plug or the board, i don't know if solving that issue will fix your no-video issue.

Did you keep it in a cool or cold room?

thanks guys , yeah im sure everythings plugged in, i now know that the issue is the main power supply that the back plug in for the lead is attached to, but its ok i have 2 ps3s so im making 1 with the 2. and yes my ps3 was outside when i heated it up , but it worked when i plugged it in about a hour after but had no image thats why i took it apart again i think i must of damaged something. and my power is fine my other ps3 worked. but btw they both have ylod thats why im trying to fix 1.

its nothing to do with the motherboard , its the silver box thingy that the main power is connected to. i put the motherboard into my other ps3 and it worked.

the "ylod" isn't always fixable with the stuff outlined online.

the causes for the yellow light are;
- detached GPU
- detached CPU
- issue w/ power supply

you can fix the first two using methods online, but if it is a power supply issue ... then you need to buy a replacement power supply.
