On both the bluray drive went out on them the first time it was under warranty so i just sent it in but the one they sent me back burnt up about a year after i got it back so i just bought a slim.
A word of warring though i have heard that fixing a ylod is only temporary every person i have known to do it to there ps3 lasted a few weeks or a couple of months then died again. But of course i have only known 3 people who have fixed a ylod so i may be wrong.

Re-flowing the mobo isnt temporary, its just if you allow the system to get too hot again, it'll happen again as this is an issue with 1st batch models and such (im sure its 40gb/60gb) thats why i rather have this stuff here if it fails again, rather then cashing out to sony over and over :D

Ah ok that would explain it all of the people who i knew who had ylod multiple times they would often have 24hr gaming sessions lol.

Correction: Your particular PS3 is fail. The vast majority of them still work just fine.

Considering her history with electronics, I'm not even sure if that's true.

Agreed.
Also, if you know your PS3 is going to overheat due to the fact you run it non-stop, go to the thread and look up how to keep your PS3 running well. Get a fricken laptop cooler or something to keep the system running at temps that aren't too high. Especially if you're one of those crazies that play non-stop for like 16 hours straight.
