Bro, I owe you one!! My heat gun can only do 60 or 600C so I thought what the hell, if my PS3 is gonna die it may as well go out in style. One fire alarm set off and a few concentrated blasts of ye olde heat gun later and...We're back in business!!I shielded myself with my dressing gown before powering it on just in case but waddayaknow...It just works.
If this also stops my PS3 fan from going from level 1 to 5 after 10 minutes I'll be very happy indeed!
Downloading the FoC demo now thanks to you. Cheers bud!
