For those of you having the video issue most likely its an hdmi error what happens is somehow you got the setting set fir the av cables which is the same one the ps2 uses its for standard def but nothing will come on with hdmi hooked. Start your ps3 by hitting the power button but keep it held down it will beep turn off and restart you can let go as soon as its restartng this is a manual hard reset of all the settings reverting them to default it will not mess up any of your content profiles or anything like that the screen will pop up and tell you it detects hdmi if thats what ur using it will give a 30 second preview select yes to keep the settings problem fixed

Yeah i would not be using a heat gun on high especially for4 minutes try a good hair dryer on high should be hot enough to reflow but not so hot it will damage componets
