I had a dead 80GB PS3 that died on me a month ago. Took the entire thing apart today, cleaned, and had to get the solder reflowing through the CPU and GPU. Took a couple hours and organizing hundreds of parts... but it's working now!!! Might be even better than before because of better thermal compound and no dust... we'll see how long it lives... Hopefully it doesn't die with my Dark Souls 2 disc in it...
