On PS3 PHAT, is YLOD fixable & what are the options?

Trouble with ps3 phat as it won't initially start when I press button. Then after many attempts & lots of patience it starts only to switch off prior to getting to where I can use the controller to confirm screen question to boot. Then when I play a game it just switches off for no apparent reason! YLOD intermittently appears but does not seem to be the over riding problem. Fan is always on but getting hot has never really caused any gameplay issues. Do you need clarification or further info from me? I have always been able to get console working but now it is not even possible to press the start button & start it. Thankyou for any advice you may provide.

Have you replaced the NEC/TOKIN capacitors on this motherboard? Have you replaced the thermal paste on this machine?

Andrew thanks for your advice. I will tend to the points both you & Nigel posted reg paste etc as you are the only ones to mention it so far. Otherwise my comment to Nigel is basically for you also. You have been very helpful & fingers crossed some checks & minor maintenance will resolve what has been a great product until now. Enjoy your day Andrew I appreciate your help...

Impending sign of doom, Sony style anyway.

Power supply or, worse case scenario, solder joints under main processor have gone. All the old wives tales like flux round the processor then a hair dryer for 30 minutes sometimes worked but would nigh on fail immediately. If you have access to another power supply try that first. If not you could always try and reflow the processor or find someone with hot air equipment and experience to try. Just thought, has it ever been opened before? If not the thermal paste will be none existent. Try fresh paste first.

Thanks for your input Nigel. Your advice is sound & based on your reference to the thermal paste I will begin there. In all of my prior research you are the only person to refer to the implications regarding thermal paste. No doubt the inside of console will "need dusting" as well followed by a thorough check of components, connections/ condition & solder deterioration as you also pointed out. Hopefully, that will either reveal further issues &/or resolve my problem. Zero maintenance may have resulted in malfunctions as the PS3 has provided immense pleasure & longevity until now. I thankyou once more & hope to return to post a positive outcome. Enjoy your day Nigel & you have been very helpful.
