My PS3 was overheating so I haven't played it in months. I haven't had the money to fix it. I know what needs to be done, I just don't think I can do it right. Basically it needs new thermal silver on the CPU and GPU. Does anyone know how to do this? I'd be willing to pay someone to do it for me once I have some spare cash.
