So my dad suggested to try to repair our PS3, which stopped working about 6 months ago because of the YLOD-error. After a failed attempt I found the video below on YouTube.
Playstation 3 reparieren YLOD ohne Gerät zu Öffnen! PS3 repairing without opening the ps3
All you have to do is to heat it up as showed in the video with a blower [for a few minutes] until it gets really hot and then cool it down with cold air.
It didn't take 5 minutes and voila, it worked to our surprise! That's for what Sony charges 170 €.
