[quote name='GP2']My 40 GB PS3 just got YLOD and I moved to a Slim. Do you guys know if there is anyway to remotely deactivate my gameshare accounts? To my knowledge, you can only deactivate all or nothing, which doesn't seem fair to the others using the account. If that's the case, are there any quick YLOD fixes so I can deactivate some accounts?[/QUOTE]
Yes, but once you do this you'll have to act fast.
The 1 way to retrieve data/deactivate is by flipping the ps3 on her back and holding a blowdryer on the highest setting blowing in the back center vent for roughly 15 minutes. Without touching the ps3 immediately place a fan on high facing the vents. Do not touch the ps3 throughout this time, allow the fan for another 15 minutes.
Once you've done these steps carefully place the wires back in the ps3 while she's still on her back and you'll have roughly 5-10 minutes to get to work...
However, even though this will work, i strongly suggest contacting
http://www.endlesselectronics.org and speak to someone there, not only do they fix ylod ps3's, but they restore all previous data... they also havs ylod lifetime warranties.
Please consider contacting them first because by blowdrying your ps3 ..you would have decreased the awesome lifespan significantly endlesselectronics could otherwise have restored.
Of course there's always the option of opening her up using youtube vids and a heatgun, but i totally recommend not doing this. i've done this twice and the ps3's both lasted 1-2 weeks. horrible.
