i used a $60usd heat gun at sears and tried it out
and i thought this thread needed some good guilds and how well they work as hackable ps3's are getting more rare and are slowly dieing off to extinction
and people need some way of fixing them
here is the guild i used and it went well so far

its a playlist so go look at the very least, even if you dont do it its good to see how its done
ps: (as a side note)i have a 300c heat gun instead of 350c so i used 30 second intervals instead of 15 second intervals
for first timers, do this when you have a good 2 to 3 hours to do it as the slowest part is cleaning the heat sinks and GPU&CPU, and motherboard if its a gamestop referb...(omg the mess these monkeys make...........you dont need to use the hole 5gallion bucket of heat-sink compound on each possessor, it will squeeze out onto the motherboard and will cause a rlod)make sure to give the board time to cool fully first before moving or flipping it.YOU will KILL the board permanently by doing this, i have a dead board to prove this from a professional shop
if your ps3 fan runs louder after this, then your cpu temp sensor is bad,(fries due to shorting with the motherboard and is caused by the rlod or the solder under the cpu isn't connecting the sensor to the motherboard and can only be fixed by a reball) there are ways around this to solve the problem like adding a new temp controller for the fan
as a side note: if any one knows a game stop system repair guy, please for the love of god, kick them in the nuts and beat them for how much the mutilate these poor defenseless systems, ive never worked on a GS referb with out it being a horror show of missing screws and HORRIBLY mangled parts
please gamestop will you just let sony fix them instead of a bunch of skill-less monkeys you do enough business to make a reasonable deal with sony for lower repair cost
