hi all,

ps3 boots to menu, then fans kick up and sound alot louder then normal, is this a YLOD on the way, if so any recommended fixes.

also the network fails, cant pick any wireless access points up even thou there in the same room, also wired connection doesn't work.

games dont load so i replaced the laser with a new one, and it still doesn't work, i think because of the 1st 2 problems maybe?

thanks for any help you can give

lol dont think so, waiting for some flux and artic silver, gonna try putting some new thermal compound down 1st, then reflow 2nd if needed.

see if that fixes the fan noise,

i've cleaned and re added some new thermal compound (a thin layer as needed).

tried updating firmware via recovery menu using usb stick to 3.40 failed 8002f1f9 - stuck looping.

reformatted h.d.d. tried update to 3.30 same error and stuck looping.
