I got a PS3 as a gift from a friend. The PS3 is damaged with YLOD, so I just need to fix it and it's mine. Well, by disassembling it I reached the "remove the heatsink" part. Thing is that it looks someone tried to repair it before as there are a lot of screws missing and it also looks the person applied thermal paste. Thing is that he applied tooooo much, it got dry and now it has a vinyl texture, kinda like some sort of gum, is elastic and everything and returns to the same place when u stretch it therefore vinyl. Well, I can't take the heatsink because it's very hard, is like stuck there. So, in these cases, what do you do?
