• Remove the four 16.5 mm shouldered Phillips screws securing the heat sink to the motherboard.
• Remove the two brackets held under the screws you just removed.

Step 28 

• Lift the motherboard assembly off the heat sink.
• The heat sink may still be held in place by the thermal paste. If this is the case, gently pry the heat sink away from the motherboard housing. Make sure to not bend the copper piping on the heat sink.
• Be sure to apply a new layer of thermal paste when reattaching the heat sink.
• Never applied thermal paste before? Ourthermal paste guide makes it easy.

  

Step 29 — Motherboard 

• Flip up the retaining flap on the Blu-ray ribbon cable socket.
• Be sure you are prying up on the retaining flap, not the socket itself.
• Remove the Blu-ray ribbon cable.

  

Step 30 

• Flip up the flap on the memory card reader ribbon cable socket and remove the ribbon cable.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

        

Step 31 

• Flip up the retaining flap on the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth ribbon cable socket.
• Pull the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth ribbon cable out of its socket.

Step 32 

• Disconnect the DC-In cable from the motherboard and set it aside.
• Pull the connector straight up and out of its socket on the motherboard.

Step 33 

• Disconnect the PRAM battery from the motherboard.
• The PRAM socket is delicate and has the potential to break off the motherboard. If possible, hold down the socket as you disconnect the PRAM battery cable.

    

Step 34 

• Rotate the PRAM battery slightly counter-clockwise and remove it from the motherboard assembly.

Step 35

Step 40 

• Remove the motherboard from the bottom motherboard cover.

  

Step 41 

• Flip up the retaining flap on the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth ribbon cable socket.
• Remove the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth ribbon cable from the motherboard.
• Motherboard remains.

Step 42 — Yellow Light of Death (YLOD) Fix Kit 

• Using the flat end of the spudger, remove the old thermal paste off the CPU and GPU on the motherboard.
• Using a cleaner such as "Goof-Off", clean the CPU and GPU.
• In the same manner as previously described, remove the thermal paste from the heat sink.

  

Step 43 

• Using your fingers or the flat end of a spudger, remove the old thermal pads on the logic board as indicated:
  • Large square thermal pads
  • Small Square thermal pads
  • Small rectangular thermal pads (located on the underside of the board, as highlighted in the second picture)
• Some of the smaller thermal pads may be attached to the metal casing that surrounds the motherboard rather than the motherboard itself.

Step 44 

• Set the heat gun to "Low", and let it run for a few seconds to reach operating temperature.
• Holding the motherboard upright, warm up the entire board with the heat gun. The board should be warm, but not too hot.
  • This will prevent damage to the board caused by localized thermal expansion.

  

Step 45 

• Set the motherboard on a support so that the CPU and GPU are completely supported and level.
• The support should be something that can resist temperatures upwards of 300 degrees Celsius. Suggestions: scrap lumber, old books, cardboard box.
• In the next few steps, you will be reflowing the solder under the chips marked in red.
• Once you begin reflowing the chips, do not touch or move the motherboard until it is completely cool. Doing so can render the motherboard irreparably damaged.

  

Step 46 

• Using a circular motion, evenly heat (using low heat) each of the four areas for roughly 25 seconds each.
• Begin heating the GPU, marked "RSX", and heat the chips in a zig-zag order.

    

Step 48 

• Ensure that the motherboard has completely cooled before continuing this guide.
  • If you have not applied thermal paste before you can check our thermal paste guide whilst it is cooling.
• Apply a thin bead of thermal paste on the CPU.
• Using the thermal paste spreader card, spread the paste out thinly and evenly on the chip.
• In the same way, apply a thin layer of thermal paste on the GPU.
• Clean up any excess thermal paste off the motherboard.

    

Step 49 

• Peel the plastic covers off one side of the new thermal pads.
• Apply the fresh thermal pads to the motherboard in the locations indicated:
  • Large square pads
  • Small square pads
  • Small Rectangular Pads

Step 50 

• Peel the remaining plastic cover off the other side of thermal pads.

I did it! Success!
