Wanted...one heat-gun

[Arcmanov]

So my friend's 40GB launch-era PS3 (yeah, it's OLD) recently YLOD'ed,
and he literally BEGGED me to attempt a fix, so as I'm on vacation, I agreed
to have a go at it.

I'm going to try the heat-gun fix (reflowing) using 'gilksy1's guide.  (I'm fully aware that it might be a temporary fix)

Only one problem...no heat-gun. 


So I need one...to borrow, or buy if necessary.

Does anyone know where, or who I can get one from?

funny enough,i did this to a ps3 like 2 days ago,didnt know where to get a heat gun and borrowed one from a friend,did everything in the video step by step,now when it comes on,instead of waiting like a few seconds before it ylod,it does it immediately,tried it again and same problem,hope your ventures dont lead you to the same conclusion i had.
