Yeah ive done one but it depends on whats wrong with it.  I fixed the yellow light of death by taking it apart and basically following GilSky's write up on you tube.  It was super easy, get a decent heat gun< some flux rosin (pretty much liquid form flux) and go to town.  Not sure what the catch is though.  I notice game shops guaranteeing their work but i have yet to get the fix to stick.  First time i did it It only worked for like 3 weeks cause i didn't do the chipsets next to the processors.  I took it back apart and did all 4 sections 2 processors and 2 banks of chipsets and it worked for like 5 or 6 months.

Here's dudes youtube video i followed.  shows you how to take it apart and what to do.  If you can work a screw driver you can do this.

Power flux in a rosin suspension in a syrette has a shelf life.  Between possibly over/underheating the components, using old solder paste, and being a Henry it sounds like Henry henried himself.

This Playstation plays quite nicely with SanDisk thumb drives but it picky about some others.  my a-data doesn't work in it.  and yes back up the crap on it cause PS3 encrypts unique to each machine so if the drive isnt backed up the only way you can retrieve data is if that box lives again.

Grand wizard is on point.  at the factory they used cheap china flux and it tends to brake/ become brittle and will fail after heat cycling.  the fix i posted basically Isolates the flux,  and ghetto "reflows" it.  you basically melt it a bit so the cracks or breaks flow back together.  the only true fix is IR soldering as far as i know, which is why its puzzling to me how shops are doing this very same fix and warrantying the work.
