Be sure to check out my guide if you really want your PS3 to work. The true cause is the failing Nec Tokin capacitors. If you have soldering skills this guide should come in handy. https://www.reddit.com/r/PS3/comments/hx...
The main cause of the YLOD is the failing NEC Tokin capacitors. They will need to be replaced with either another or with a tantalum capacitor 470uf. All reballing and reflowing is doing is heating up the NEC Tokin capacitor to get them to temporarily work again. Only the 360 suffers from the solder connections cracking because of its thin motherboard which tends to bend when it gets hot. Whereas the PS3 has a thick motherboard and cools better.
