However, because I was an XBOX fan, I was very familiar with the Red Rings of Death, or RROD for short. And because I am an aspiring engineer and experienced tinkerer, I had gotten very familiar (and very good) at fixing consoles with this problem, thanks to the many helpful tutorials posted on sites like xbox-experts.com. Once I discovered that the YLOD is basically the same problem as the RROD, I made the choice to buy a broken PS3 and fix it. This tutorial explains how I did it, using tips, tricks, and methods I have used to fix XBOX's in the past.
BE AWARE THAT PERFORMING THE METHOD WILL VOID VOID VOID YOUR WARRANTY (which is probably expired anyway if you are fixing a launch console). I will also say right now that I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE for any damage you may do to your PS3 or your oven (I'm talking about a conventional kitchen oven BTW, not a microwave!) by following this guide, and I do not guarantee a fixed console. But I will say that if you follow this guide, your chances are good.
Step 1: Background & Theory
This would all be hunky dory, except for the lead free solder which composes the chips. The European Union, a political and economic union of 27 countries, banned the importation of electronics containing lead in 2006, which has caused most electronics manufactures to switch to lead free solder in their products, even those sold in the U.S. (thanks to Entropy512 for the information). Unfortunately lead free solder has two (theorized) weaknesses. The first is that with repeated, high temperature (higher than what Sony engineers intended) exposure caused by 8 hour Call of Duty marathons or similar, followed by rapid cooling of the console once turned off, the balls begin to lose their elasticity, and eventually crack. This causes an open circuit, and when you try and power the PS3 up again, you are greeted with the YLOD. The other theory is that over time, due to the aforementioned high temperatures, the balls begin to grow "tin whiskers" which cause a short with another ball nearby, once again causing the YLOD. Which actual cause it really is doesn't matter, because the method I outline here will fix both.
This magical method is known as an oven re-flow. In a nutshell, the oven is used to heat the PS3 motherboard up to a temperature high enough to melt the solder balls underneath the RSX and Cell BE chips. When the board cools, the balls are reformed with the help of flux, which gives them back their elasticity. Don't worry, the oven will not get hot enough to "liquefy" the solder and cause it to pool into one giant glob, but only enough to cause it to "goo up" and reform each individual ball.
After the re flow, high quality thermal paste can be used to increase the PS3's cooling efficiency and lessen the chance of the YLOD reoccurring. More info on and clarification will be given on this later.
Now, the last thing is to "critique" other methods of fixing the YLOD. The main one that you may have heard of is the heat-gun method, which works, but has several downfalls, the first of which in my mind is the price. A heat-gun costs like 50 bucks at your local hardware store. The oven method is almost free - all you need are some basic supplies, which are less than 20 bucks. The other big downfall is that the heat-gun warps the motherboard because it heats one area while other areas stay cool. This means that when you put the warped board back in the case and bolt it all in, it puts stress on the new solder balls, which is never good and will help to cause failure in the future. The oven method avoids this by EVENLY heating all areas of the board, keeping flex very minimal. The other "trick" I have heard of is using a blow dryer to heat up the innards of the console. While this also works, it does not re-flow, but instead will un-flex the motherboard over its whole area (similar to the low temp. oven bake detailed later in the instructable), which causes a temporary re-alignment of the cracked solder balls. However, after a few cycles of hard gaming, the board will warp back to the way it was, and the console will fail once again. The best way to fix BGA related failure is to use a professional re-flow station and griddle, but these cost big bucks, and would be pointless to buy for a one time fix.
Alright, lets do it.
Step 2: Supplies & Disassembly
- Four M4 X 30mm hex bolts
- Eight matching M4 hex nuts
- Two M5 X 30mm hex bolts
- Four matching M5 hex nuts
- One pack of Blu Tack, Sticky Tack, or similar (can be found at Walmart)
- Rubbing Alcohol
- No clean flux (get on ebay and search "flux RROD YLOD" and you should find the stuff. It comes in a small bottle with a pipet)
- Goo Gone Extreme, Goof Off, or similar
- Q-tips and Paper Towels (or Napkins)
- Aluminum Foil
- Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound (can be found at Radio Shack) OR if you're on a budget, you can get the cheaper ceramic based compound. It should still be an improvement over the stock paste, but AS5 will be better if you can spring for it.
-Oven thermometer (these are like $3 at Walmart, please please please use one if you want to eliminate all chances of melting components)
-A box fan or equivalent
As for disassembly of the PS3, I wont provide instructions because their are many good tutorials out there. My personal favorite is this chain of videos, which is actually a heat-gun tutorial. The guy does a great job of showing not only how to disassemble, but reassemble, the PS3.
Step 3: Board Preperation
After the chips are clean, all the thermal pads on the board should be removed. Be careful - some may be stuck to the metal plate that covers the top of the motherboard - make sure they either stay on it, or you pull them off and put them with their siblings that you took off the motherboard. Also, if you're fixing a backwards compatible 60GB model, be VERY CAREFUL when removing the thermal pad from the PS2 chip. It seems to be very gooey and easy to tear - I included a picture of mine after I got it off - you can see what I mean. Also remove the silver strip on top of a small BGA chip (it can be seen in my pictures) and the spongy metal looking thing on top of one of the ports on the back of the board.
Step 4: Low Temperature Oven Bake
First, put a nut about 10mm down on a bolt you are going to use. The smaller M4 bolts go around the outside of the board, and the M5's go in two of the big holes in the middle (see pictures). Then, place it in a hole on the board. Now, take another nut and screw it down until the top of the nut is flush with the top to the bolt. Then tighten the nut underneath the board until it "pinches" the board tightly. No need to crank down on these - finger tightening is good enough. Do this for all the bolts. Make sure when you do the M5's that the nut on top of the board does not come into contact with any chips or other small components.
Then, set the board on an even surface like a counter-top. You want to look straight on at the board and make sure it is level. If it sags or curves in the middle, adjust the middle bolts so that it does not.
Once this is done, it's time to cook. Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Fahrenheit. If your oven will not go this low, you can go as high as 170 without insulation, but any higher and you risk damaging the board. If you simply cannot get your oven to do this you can skip this step, but it is very beneficial to do it if possible.
Alright, when the oven is ready put the board on a pizza tray and pop it in the oven for 8 HOURS. That's right, 8 hours. This ensures a completely dry and straight board, and is totally worth the wait. If possible start the bake early - then you will have time to re-flow later in the same day.
Once the wait is over, take the mainboard out of the oven and let it cool completely. Now it's time to insulate.
Step 5: Insulation and Fluxing
I have also read about people cooking the board without ANY insulation. Honestly this worries me, and I don't think I could bring myself to do this. However, I did decide to go with "light" insulation compared to typical XBOX 360 insulation because of these reports, and it seemed to work well.
This is where the sticky tack comes in. This stuff has excellent heat resistivity, and is mold-able, which is handy. Just take it and surround all capacitors on the board. Try to keep it off of big chips and mold it as compactly as you can while still leaving about .25 of an inch of thickness around the capacitors. Once this is done cover all the globs in foil, SHINY SIDE OUT. This will help to reflect the heat.
EDIT 8/24/11 - thanks to graphicsgod, I have become aware of some possible melting hazards on the board. I highly recommend insulating the component cable jack, along with the small cylindrical piezospeaker (can be seen in the first picture) in the same way you insulated the caps.
This completes the insulation, and leaves one final step before re-flowing - fluxing. The flux re-conditions the solder balls and gives them back their flexibility and strength. You need a very specific type - No Clean. This stuff does not need to be cleaned off the board like other types of flux (which eat into the solder pads to help the solder "stick") and is very liquidy. The type of choice is Kester 951, which can be had on eBay in small bottles. Just search "flux YLOD" and you'll find it. To use it, you basically take the pipet and squirt flux under the chips you wish to reflow. Now, in reality every part of the board will be reflowed, but we only need to flux the parts that have become fatigued and failed, causing the YLOD. I have outlined these specific chips in red in two of the pictures.
Here's a video which shows how to flux a 360 - the method will work for the PS3. And you don't need to be shy with this stuff - make sure you have gotten it under the chips.
Once done, we're finally ready to re-flow.
Step 6: Reflowing
After reading a few articles on the reflow ovens used in industry, I realized that the method I was using was clunky and far from ideal.
In a perfect situation, a reflow should minimize time spent above the solder melting point, while still reaching a temperature somewhat above this melting point. The shorter the time, the less brittle the solder. Reaching the correct temperature ensures the solder "sticks" correctly. Also, the board must be the same temperature across its area so it does not warp.
When you plot these criteria against time, you get what's called a reflow profile. I have created one for the average home oven, which I've uploaded. Please ignore the "Soak" step - it is unnecessary due to the slowness of the oven.
So here's a quick run through of the profile: the board goes in the oven cold, and is kept in while the oven approaches the reflow temperature. This ensures the board is the same temperature everywhere (because the oven heats up slowly, giving the heat enough time to penetrate and soak all areas). As the reflow temperature is reached and surpassed, the solder melts. Once the correct temperature above the solder melting point is reached, the door is opened and a fan is used to gently draw hot air away from the face of the oven, which shortens the time the solder is liquid by speeding its cool-down.
An oven thermometer is used to 1) ensure accurate temperature readings, allowing for shorter times spent with the solder liquid, and most importantly 2) to make sure the oven does not reach a temperature that is much hotter than what it reports (some can go over by 20F or more).
Well, the time has finally come. Place the PS3 board on a counter top like you did when you prepped it for the low temp bake and check to make sure it is level. Then, put it on a pizza tray.
Put the motherboard in on the middle rack, towards the front of your oven. Place the thermometer you hopefully purchased in the oven, where you can see it through the door. Turn the temperature up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Relax. The oven will not reach this temperature. Take a seat on the floor and watch the thermometer. Once the needle rolls to approximately 460F, turn off the oven an throw open the door. The thermometer will rise a few degrees before it falls. Do not panic.
Take a box fan, osculating fan (set to not osculate), or similar, put it on its lowest setting, and place it OUTSIDE THE EDGE OF THE OVEN DOOR TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, NOT DIRECTLY IN FRONT, WITH THE FAN BLOWING AIR AWAY FROM, I REPEAT, AWAY FROM THE OVEN, AND NOT NOT NOT INTO IT. The idea here is the pull hot air from the face of the oven, without creating any significant disturbance to the motherboard within. This will speed up the cool down, as explained in the theory. Once the board is close to room temp, feel free to remove it.
Congratulations! You've re-flowed your PS3.
Step 7: Board Preparation and Re-assembly
Next, put some new thermal compound on the RSX and Cell BE chips. I recommend Arctic Silver 5 - it is much better than the stock compound. Just be careful - it has microscopic pieces of silver in it, and will CONDUCT ELECTRICITY. So keep it on the chips. To apply it, I usually put a glob on a chip, and then take a credit card or something similar and spread it out. You don't want very much - a paper thin layer will suffice. The pics I provided show about what your's should look like.
Next, put all the thermal pads you took off back on the board. Don't forget any! If you do, you could nuke an important component and kill your PS3.
The last thing I want to mention is a trick I found in a YouTube video. The little bendy clamps that hold the heat-sink to the chips (there should be two) can be bent slightly more to increase the pressure they "pull" with, which should increase the thermal efficiency of the PS3. They are really hard to bend, but a little extra bend goes a long way, so don't overdo it. I included a picture showing me bending the clamps.
Use the video's I linked to earlier to reassemble. And now, the moment of truth.
Step 8: The Green Light
Gave this a try but unfortunatly still had YLOD so tried again leaving in the oven a bit longer, put back together and still YLOD. On the plus side I can take apart and put back together a ps3 real quick now
Thank you, This guide has proven to be really practical. My ps3 is now working again after the fix. But I had to use the standard AV multi out cables to get video. I will now try to use HDMI but video reset has proven of no use so far. Thus my search continues ...
Do I need to use blutak or can I use generic adhesive putty?
Very nice work, much appreciated! My fat ps3 got YLOD first time about 18 months ago. I followed the instructions here (up to 450 degrees) and got it working again. Lasted about 8 months, then hit YLOD again. Did the process again, though let it get a bit warmer (up to 460+). Worked and lasted about 10 months, then YLOD again. Followed the process again, but used lots more flux (lots of excess on the board). Bought a new stand alone oven thermometer (for $6) and it seemed to be about 30-40 degrees behind the oven temp display (wasn't sure if this was due to the placement of the stand alone, or if one or both were a bit inaccurate). I trusted the stand alone, but had to set the oven up to 520 to get the stand alone up to 460. When I pulled the board out, some of the plastic connectors were melted (the HDMI connector and the big 2 prong connector that connects to the power supply). I suspect the temp got well above 460. Had to break off some of the melted plastic to get it back together - but everything fit OK. Confidence was not high it'd work this time (3rd time + melted parts...), but tried it out and it lives again! (note that it's only been running for one day...) Suggestion - get an accurate thermometer (or 2) and test them in the oven without the ps3 board in it....
Thank you for this great guide! I have a 7 year old Fat PS3 with 30 GB hd and it bit the bullet 2 days ago. Followed your guide and worked like a champ! I couldn't find the blue tack stuff, so I used white playdough instead and it worked great! Thank you again!
Make sure all your wires are correctly in, the CD drives main wires have a tendency to slip out. Make sure to snap the wires in well.
My PS3 recently died with the weird blinking red light and the three beeps. After, some googling this is called a YLOD despite my PS3 not actually having a yellow LED. I guess when sony made the PS3 cheaper they ditched the yellow light for a blinking red one. Some more googling found this page. So for about $15 worth of supplies I followed your instructions except I only dried and unwarped my board for 2 hours instead of 8. To my amzement it actually worked! I couldn't believe it. Not only does it work, but it is also about 3 or 4 times faster at starting up and loading the menu. I created an account on this site just so I could post this, Thanks!
red and green make yellow.
PS3 finally died :P Lol, i'll be fixing it again at some point.
PS3 is finally up and running again, I'd like to stress some keypoints!
The screws should all be of equal length! This will ensure that you're board straightens out correctly.
Second, the pizza board that you use should also be straight. If it's thin, this is good. the board will naturally straighten out from the heat.
Third, don't use the tack consecutive times for cooking, it begins to decay rapidly and will start sticking to your components.
Fourth, make sure you seal up the components jack! it will melt, I had the displeasure of dealing with that.
Fifth, Don't ever force your PS3 back into the casing, this will certainly break a solder ball somewhere. This isn't a big deal as you can bake the PS3 again, just be sure that you're PS3 is straight to begin with.
PS: I suggest buying all same screws (to keep consistent height), just make sure you're nuts are big enough to NOT fit through the holes of the PS3.
Hi, I have been reburbishing ps3s for over 3 years and previously used a heat gun for reflows. I had less than 25% success rate and for the most part when I got a ps3 with YLOD, NO VIDEO I would just throw them away. Since reading this I have begun reflowing ps3s again, my success rate in now 90% or higher. Thank you., I could of saved myself, and made a lot more money!
Here I am again :D And my PS3 has not failed yet :D
I thank you again for this instructable.
I was definitely skeptical of this procedure, so I put it off until I had run out of options (i.e. blow dryer with box, replacing therm paste and using blow dryer, etc..).
Yesterday I finally decided to give it a go. I followed the procedure exactly with 3 exceptions: 1) Oven was at 170 not 150, and 2) like phoneman6m7 (couldn't tag for some reason) my oven beeped at 450 saying preheat was complete--I waited just 5 mins longer; and 3) I should have listened about the insulating the component port....
To my dismay: when I opened the oven after the 500F bake smoke came pouring out, and boy did it smell! When the m-board finally cooled, I turned it over... and there was a big burnt spot! I almost trashed it right there :( I believe I may have used too much flux and it pooled and cooked. Despite my sadness I scrubbed and scrubbed the residue with shop towels and alcohol for about 30mins... I removed as much as I could, but there was still hard black carbon caked on a couple spots. I figured it was pointless, but I re-assembled the unit and plugged in the power for kicks.... IT WORKED!
....I was speechless.... Thank you Formulajake88! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I played a round of BO2, and it was flawless. :):):)
The only issue I had was: since I did not insulate the component input, it melted. I had to carve off pieces of the hardened plastic so that the m-board would fit back into the chassis.
I have a friend who also has YLOD, so I may be doing this again in the near future. Best of luck to all of you!
If you're following this from the UK (where I am) IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) is not easy to come by...I found mine in Maplins, Servisol IPA 170...£10 mind you!
I used Ever Build Wonder Wipes to clean the majority of the compound off and then rubbed over with some IPA.
Also I got my no clean flux from Maplins..in the form of a pen (can see being used in this video http://youtu.be/MZRReDIHTe0) again £10.
I did the full bake for 8 hours at 65°C and then the actual reflow upto 235°C.
I used the instructions here (http://psxrepair.com/taking_apart_the_ps3) for the dismantling of the PS3.
Once again many thanks
Note: no you do not need the solder liquid, it helps though. other alternatives to Blu Tack, fun tack. make sure your pan is straight, my motherboard ended up warping a little bit. make sure you clean your mother board well or else it well get really smokey in the oven.
Also, I bought some yellow sticky tack made by the Super Glue company. That should work just as well, right? I am assuming it's the same stuff...
Lastly, I took my PS3 in to a repair shop where they repaired it once and that lasted about 3 weeks. Then I took it back (warranty) and they couldn't fix it a second time, although I can't be sure they actually tried a second time. I am hoping to get the unit working (via your method) long enough to transfer data from the defective PS3 to my new one. Have you ever heard of people having success with this type of situation? I think they did a "reflow" the first time.
Also I've found a kit on eBay which comes with some copper shims to put between the gpu and cpu to help with cooling, has any one tried anything like this ?
As german Blu-Tack alternative I used Pritt Multifix. It left some residue, but I could clean that with some electronic cleaner. Forgot isolating the Multi-AV and it melted though.
I used the two power pins as a stand, because I hadn't enough screws at home. Bad idea, because it fall off under the board's pressure at about 200 C/390 F and I couldn't reattach it.
Also, the board was uneven afterwards, because I didn't use screws in the middle of the board.
With some force and metal bending I could put the PS3 back together. But I got the blinking red light.
At the end of all that I found two little chips on the pizza tray. Must have fallen off under the heat or something. My thermometer was at about 235 C/455 F when I turned it off.
Anyway, maybe someone learns from my mistakes.
Thanks a million!!!!!
Now I'm a PC gamer from way back, I enjoy picking out components and building my own machines, and so have never really been that interested in console gaming. In saying that, every so often I do come across a game that is not available on the PC that I would like to play (Uncharted 3, Gran Turismo 5), so thought I might as well give it a nudge - at the very least it would give us a blu-ray player at home... :-). So I took his machine and started to do some research into the problem and came across this article, which seemed like a very well researched and thought out method, and the pros/cons versus the heat gun method made a lot of sense to me. (Plus I'm cheap and didn't feel like forking out for a heat gun).
Over the last couple of weeks I've followed the steps outlined here, pulled the machine apart & given it a thorough cleaning (talk about filthy). Did the 8 hour low temp bake over two 4 hour evening sessions at 170F as that was the lowest the oven went. Insulated and ramped up to 460F last night, and when I put the machine back together it looks like it is all working perfectly! Amazing. I don't actually have a controller or a game to test it out with yet - he kept that stuff when he bought his new PS3. I'm going to borrow a game/controller this weekend, give it a good burn in with Uncharted or something and see how she holds up. If it all looks good then will invest in my own controller and game on..
Thanks a lot for documenting this method as you have, much appreciated!

My first "real" class was a mage. Sure, I had a warrior and a hunter but I never really understood them. The first one I ever understood was the mage. And unfortunately, being a mage lately has made me really sad :/ So does this Q&A.
I'll state this first - the mage class isn't inherently broken, but IMO we're all glass, and very little cannon. A few small changes could really, really fix this though, and I don't think they'd be terribly unbalancing changes. Like everyone else, there's three things that come to my mind immediately:
Fix Evocation
Get rid of dampen/amplify or change it to be 'useful'
Frost for PvE please
But I'll add:
Fix kiting skills (nova, slow)
I play Arcane but I prefer frost. I hate PvPing, I just really like Frost overall. I remember when we reached TK and A'lar and for once my DPS wasn't 'subpar.' It was great. And then all the others went frost too and I was sad. >_>
Blink itself isn't broken. Anyone who says it is plainly doesn't understand programming. Think of tossing a bouncyball - sometimes it will hit a corner or a slightly raised edge on the ground or something and it bounces backwards. That's what happens when blink hits an 'edge' of terrain - it throws us backwards. The only way to fix that is to "smooth" out the terrain. I've understood this to be the problem for the two years I've played the mage, even before it was "confirmed." I don't see why others have difficulty understanding that, but then again, maybe they haven't ever gotten 'caught' on a set of stairs, a post, a fence or a treetop in game before. I do always, but probably because I fly like I'm drunk.
What really pisses me off the most about being a mage is how we have all these talents and spells to make us survive...except they don't work. Slow never, ever works on an elite. How are we supposed to kite a mob that runs faster than us, especially when we have to stop and cast things? And what about counterspell? It never counters spells on anything that can really kill us. Frost nova...same QQ there. Ever try nova'ing a creature in place?
Mana shield needs a reworking. We need a shield that doesn't drain mana, or as much mana, simply because a mage with no mana and full hit points is still a pretty dead mage.
I am thrilled with the invisibility changes that are upcoming, but like others wish there was an aggro dump that didn't require invisibility. And let's face it - unlike fade or soulshatter, it isn't INSTANT, which means if you're not paying attention to threat and something is coming to punch you in the face, it's too late. You don't get the sweet deal that those classes get.
Ultimately, my mage has turned into a farming character. I play my paladin and my priest and my hunter because they actually are useful to a raid for something besides a table and an intellect buff. It's frustrating because I used to love raiding with her, but now am just bored with her and her ineffectiveness.
Sorry about the long post. I rarely post, and had too much to say I guess.
i'm right there with you ducka. i've been a mage since the original beta, hell I tried the game after reading a blog by a mage who was in the alpha, it sounded sooooo cool. i'm always a mage / wizard in every game i'm given that option. this Q&A saddened me as well, I guess I hoped that if mages were the second Q&A they must have something they want to say about them, turns out that something was, "meh, you're fine" sure we are fine, we're ok, we're decent, but when was the last time that you, as a mage, cackled with glee at a kill, or grinned from ear to ear after a really good fight? it'll always be my favorite class, and i'll always think of him as my main, but i've got a shaman, paladin and warlock in their 70's, and with this Q&A I think I might just focus on them more.
fellow mages, I raise my glass to you, for arcanum
While I agree that it can't be as trivial to fix as some are making it out, you can't just say "Think of tossing a bouncyball". Those physics aren't just inherent in the game, they have to be replicated so the idea that blink would "bounce" you back doesn't even exist unless it was programmed to do so, and then there could easily be a test to ensure you don't end up behind where you started. If Blink fails it should NEVER move you behind where you actually blinked (blunk?) from. This could be working as I've suggested and moving backwards could be simply attributed to lag (the server having your last location as slightly behind where your toon appears on your computer) but I seem to recall being moved backwards when blinking from a standstill.
I'm not a programmer either but seems that if blink used the same collision detection that walking uses, then just calculated what would happen if the toon moved 20 steps forward...
...all I'm saying is I can walk across the boardwalk in Redridge, but I can't seem to blink over it.

Known as the land of Bhagvad Gita and the Mahabharat, Kurukshetra is a popular pilgrimage in the state of Haryana about 170 km north of Delhi.
The city has great historical importance as it is associated with the Vedas. It is believed Lord Krishna preached the theories of Karma or duty to Arjun, giving birth to the holy text of Bhagvad Gita which encompasses the supreme principles of the Hindu religion.
The city has been known by several names like Dharamkshetra (Holy City), Brahmadevi, Uttaradevi, Brahmakshetra (Land of Brahma) over the ages.
Located on the banks of the Drishadvati River and the mythical Saraswati River; the city's heritage dates back to 2800 BC. Lord Buddha, many Sikh Gurus and other religious teachers visited the region which emphasizes the fact that the city was considered a sacred place even during ancient times.
The city got its name from King Kuru of the Kuru clan. It is believed that King Kuru chose the region near Saraswati River to establish spirituality with qualities like truthfulness and kindness.
However, Kurukshetra is famous as the site of the epic battle between Pandavas and Kauravas. The battle of Kurukshetra pitted the good and the evil and from that day Kurukshetra is also known as Dharma Kshetra or the land of the righteous.
The founders of the Kuru clan laid the foundation for a lifestyle based on kindness but despite this, the descendants of the Kuru clan engaged in a battle against the Kauravs and the Pandavs for control of Hastinapur, which is now a town in Meerut. This epic battle was known as the Battle of Kurukshetra.
Excavations in many parts of Kurukshetra prove that the city existed even before the time of the Harappan civilization.
Ancient records state that the city was the prime centre of Vedic Civilization and learning. Bharat Dynasty, King Ashok and Harsh had made Kurukshetra a part of their kingdoms during their reign over the region. The land of Kurukshetra came to be known as Uttaradevi when King Kuru came on this land.
The region has been ruled over by many empires over the years with the rule of King Harsha being the pinnacle of the region's glory. Asoka made Kurukshetra a great place of learning. The sacred tanks in the city have been mentioned by Akbar's court historian, Abul Fazl, in Akbarnama and have also been mentioned by Frenchtraveller, Francois Bernier during Shahjahan's era.
Shopping in Kurukshetra is mainly for the pottery and handlooms. Utensils, vessels and toys are sold in the dusty lanes in the markets near the railways station. Embroidery and woven shawls, robes and lungis (sarong) are famous in the region. The best form of the woven cloth is the Phulkari Style of weaving with the use of vibrant colours and complicated designs.
Where to stay
Where to eat
You get vegetarian as well as non vegetarian food in restaurants all over the city. The best non-vegetarian cuisine is served in restaurants located in Sector 7 and the best vegetarian restaurants are located in Sector 17. The civic authorities banned the sale and consumption of meat in 2012 but there are many restaurants on the outskirts of the city that serve non-vegetarian dishes.

Well, it's not even registering DVD's anymore, I don't think it was a driver problem as much as just a worn out piece. I'll be getting another soon from my friend's cousin, and I'll see if that works. Thanks for all of your help though dude, if someone else sees this thread, they're most likely gonna find what they need, unless theirs is worn down too.

As many people have and will have cd/dvd combo drives at least for a while into the future I thought it might be pertinent to mention that combo drives contain two lasers. One for the CD-rom operations and one for the DVD operations. Apparently aside from the fact that dirt/dust/etc can build up and it might help to clean the lens.
I had been reading some about a stated issue where the cd-rom laser is not engaging quite to the height that it should and that fixing it involves using a multi-meter and minute(sp? mine-nute) changes. I have not read enough to properly understand, try and report on this at this time though.
What really stinks is the fact that if my cd-rom/dvd drive is just dirty and thus having issues with the cd-rom portion it is a real pain as I have a lens cleaner disc however it is a cd-rom disc and therefore the drive only engages for a few seconds for which I doubt it has done any good
It's too bad that there are not programs to tell people how well the laser is reading a disc and one could know about the impending dirt buildup or failure of a cd-rom/dvd drive.

Bullets Over Broadway is a [[Performer~P79388~Woody Allen~woodyallen]] romp that, as the title suggests, combines gangsters with show business at the height of the Roaring Twenties. David Shayne ([[Performer~P16329~John Cusack~johncusack]]) is a straight-arrow playwright who plans to stand firm against compromising his work, but quickly abandons that stance when his producer ([[Performer~P74681~Jack Warden~jackwarden]]) finds a backer to mount his show on Broadway. There's just one catch, however: the backer is a mobster ([[Performer~P73725~Joe Viterelli~joeviterelli]]) who sees Shayne's play as a vehicle for his dizzy, talent-free girlfriend, Olive ([[Performer~P71015~Jennifer Tilly~jennifertilly]]). Shayne also has to deal with the demands of veteran theatre diva Helen Sinclair ([[Performer~P76163~Dianne Wiest~diannewiest]]) and is shocked to discover that Olive's hitman bodyguard, Cheech ([[Performer~P54860~Chazz Palminteri~chazzpalminteri]]), is probably a better playwright than he is, as he secretly revises Shayne's work when he sits in on rehearsals. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

Magic Comics.
On July 22nd 1939, D.C. Thomson published a new comic, The Magic. The Magic was to run along side their other two publications, the Beano and the Dandy, The Magic Comic the original ceased publication on January 25th 1941 due to the Second World War paper shortage and never returned after. The Magic Comic, because of its short run print (just 80 issues) is demanding very high prices at this moment in time.
The comics below are from a revival in the Magic during the late 1970s.
On January 31st 1976, D.C. Thomson published a second Magic comic, this was aimed at the childrens market. These comics don't command a high price at all, so are probably a comic to start the younger comic collector off!. At the moment it is not certain of the full run amount.

Pamela Jones, MA
Heart disease is a leading killer in the United States.
High blood pressure,
high cholesterol,
obesity, and diabetes are common factors that contribute to the development of the disease. For premenopausal women, hormones appear to have some protective affect on the heart and blood vessels. This hormonal effect is evident in the increased rates of heart disease in
women compared to premenopausal women. Women also have hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy and while
breastfeeding, and there is growing evidence that these hormones may also affect a mother's long-term heart health.
The department of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh wanted to determine if there was a relationship between breastfeeding and the development of heart disease later in life. The study, published in the
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, found that women who breastfed their babies had lower risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease than women that were pregnant and did not breastfeed.
The study examined information collected from 139,681 postmenopausal women in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) Study. All the women included had reported at least one birth. The data from the WHI Study included the number of births each women had, if the women breastfed their babies, and if so, for how long. Any amount of breastfeeding seemed to be beneficial, but when compared to women who were pregnant but never breastfed, women that breastfed for a lifetime total of 12 months or more had:
The rate of obesity, a risk factor for all of the health conditions listed above, was similar between the two groups. There are many other factors that may increase heart disease risk factors such as age, income, education, lifestyle choices, and family history. When researchers accounted for all of these factors there was still a significant relationship between increased breastfeeding and risk factors for heart disease.
The information used in this study was collected in an
observational study. The researchers observed and did not interfere with any other factors that may contribute to heart disease. Despite best efforts, researchers cannot always account for all such
in this type of study. As a result the researchers are unable to prove a cause-and-effect relationship, but their results do suggest a connection may exist.
Exactly how breastfeeding may provide heart protection is not clear from this study, but hormonal changes are thought to be a key factor. Nevertheless, breastfeeding has long been known to provide numerous health benefits for the baby. Now it appears that the same may be true for the mother. If you are pregnant, plan on breastfeeding your child, unless your doctor advises otherwise.

For the last few years I have avoided local fashion events like the plague for two reasons- 1. They're usually lame as hell, 2.- they're usually lame as hell because the people running them have zilch idea about what is actually fashionable and are sharing completely invalid
information with the general public.
information with the general public.
Now don't get me wrong, I credit people for getting out there and doing their thing. My favorite trait in people is a strong drive to succeed, but, correctly label what you're doing. Fashion, for instance, needs to be wearable. If it's not something a drug free, has all their marbles person would wear in public, it's not fashion. Maybe it's art, but it's not fashion. There is a difference.
Don't call yourself a stylist unless you have at least a little bit of knowledge as to what it is a stylist actually does. "Liking" clothes or having the ability to buy and return from the mall does not make you a stylist. Being a stylist is actually a lot harder than that, has a lot to do with marketing and pr, and includes something called a "pull letter"- look it up.
Anyone can apply for a press pass and get into the low attendance shows at Fashion Week.
Yes, anyone.
Don't call yourself an expert unless you are actually, in fact, an expert.
Now, here is my idea- rather than doing a lot of things badly, why can't we come together as a city and do a few things well? Wait wait, I can answer my own question here: egos, that's why. Rather than taking the time to learn their craft, so many fashion "professionals" ie: wannabes in this city got together and said "Screw it! Lets charge people $ and tell them THIS is fashion!" when in fact, it's not, and they're making the rest of us look, really, really bad.
But really, at the end of the day, who cares? There aren't enough people in our little city who actually give much of a damn. It's basically like a circle jerk of bad taste and invalid information being passed from one unfashionable wannabe to the next.
Rant. Over.

Hey, by the way-I'm a strange strange man-nice to meet you!
audrey hepburn loving.
it's just one of those things you know you'll miss as soon as you're gone.
being out with some of your best friends at 3 a.m. in richmond. you're all simply walking around the manroe park campus, you don't become anxious because you know you'll get to cabell library and all of your studying eventually. so you stop by the brandt patio anyway, seeing if anyone you know is chilling on those screechy black metal chairs. always unexpected, you end up meeting new people and singing Old Crow Medicine Show with them as they play their guitar.
you don't get to be open to that possibility just anywhere in the world. that's why Richmond is so special to me. it breaks my heart and is incredibly hard for me to think i only have a few days left here. i'm going to miss everything and everyone so much.
it seems like this first year has flown by. seeing who i was in august and how many things have transpired since then literally blows my mind. i have experienced more here then i have anywhere else my whole life. it is just too much for me to fathom at this point.
and even though i'm going away to Maryland, it's nice to know that the city is always here waiting. it may change a bit while i'm gone and people may become a little distant. but eventually we all come back to each other.
at some point, we are all reunited. we're all brought back together beneath the vast sky of this amazing city that introduced us so many months ago. where we began, where we have grown, it all simultaneously connects us no matter where we are.
Richmond has brought us together in ways we can't even appreciate yet and it will continue to draw us back for the rest of our lives. year after year. we will all find Richmond once again, because Richmond-this beautiful, magnificent city-will remain and yearn for every reunion we have.
sometimes all you have to do is leave a place to realize how much you actually love it. and that is exactly what is happening.
i may never stop changing and growing as a person and the city may change forever, as well, but enough will stay the same in my heart for me to always be able to call this place My Home.
to everyone who has made this first year a spectacular journey, for it really was an adventure, i thank you so much and i cannot wait to continue in the fall of 2012 :) happy studying and happy summer!
i've got the worst hangover from you.
digging deeper.
oh the times we have.
just searching for something worth while.
day1-went exploring richmond with an amazing person and succeeded in evading the police.
day2-stayed up the entire night with one of my best friends just getting crazy and having a blast.
day3-dressed up like a boy with my hall mates and wandered through the halls of my dorm messing with peoples heads.
day4-first class cancelled, food fight in shafer, photoshoot at maymont with some lovely ladies i'm lucky to be friends with & party at a friends apartment.
day5-STILL made it to my 9am, saw so many friends i hadn't hung out with in a while, two and half hour nap, got to chill with my roomie when she got off early from work.
day6-long and beautiful day at belle aisle with some of the greatest people i've ever met in my life, four hour nap, talking and laughing with friends until five in the morning.
day7-my roomie and her boyfriend brought me the most delicious chocolate cake i've ever had in my week :)
real friends are truly special and i am lucky for having you. thanks to all of the lovely people who have stuck with me through all my shit. we've grown closer because of it all. I LOVE YOU. :D
And now I'm by myself
I'll only have myself to blame
I get so afraid
And I'll push you away
I can tell, I've seen it time after time
procrastinating studying for finals, this is a drawing of a friend of mine and a belated bday...
"Open your arms to change, but don't let go go of your values." - Dalai Lama
To my...
To my...
Klus is sprawled out, flat against the clean...

Be not surprised therefore that the web has a version (spelt 'Klout') that can measure your influence online. Indeed, it even measures it out of 100 – your 'klout score'. I went to a presentation in San Francisco recently where the MC proudly boasted his Klout of 73.
Mine is 50 by the way, in case you're wondering
So what? I hear you scream. Isn't this is all technie nonsense and narcissistic rubbish? (Maybe.)
Stay with me on this. Malcolm Gladwell (The Tipping Point, 2000) examined why some ideas, products and events take off (pass the "tipping point") and others don't. One of the key ingredients of something that "tips" is to have influential people ("connectors") who "link us up with the world". These people have a special gift of bringing the world together. They are a handful of people who "have the knack for making friends and acquaintances". Good networkers, I suppose we would call them.
Another essential element in this process are what Gladwell called the "mavens" – those folks we "rely on to connect us with new information". They accumulate knowledge and love to share it. They can't help themselves.
Over 10 years after the Tipping Point came out, we are now five years into the social media revolution, and information is being spread like never before over social networking sites (also collectively known as 'social media'). A billion people are on Facebook, half go everyday (some all day). A million people are on Facebook in WA. On there you will find mavens and connectors like you wouldn't believe. They connect, they share, they pass on, but crucially, to people like you and me that tend to watch and chip in every now and again, they are instrumental in connecting us to the information we want and passing it forward.
For anyone in a business development role (such as a real estate agent), these people are critical as they will pass on your information to hundreds and maybe thousands of others. Having enough mavens and connectors on your Facebook business or community page, following your twitter stream and reading your blog is crucial to your success online. Without them, you are talking to few people in a near empty room.
So, how do you find these people? They have one thing in common – a high Klout score.
Klout.com is a free service, and when you sign up to it, you can link in your Facebook page, Twitter account, Google+, Foursquare, LinkeIn, Youtube, Tumblr, Flickr, WordPress or Blogger blog… you get the picture. It then analyses your posts and influences across these networks and its 'secret sauce' calculates your Klout score out of 100.
The more your tweets are retweeted by others, the higher your Klout score. The more your posts are commented upon and shared, up goes your Klout score. In other words, the more evidence Klout collects about your influence others, the higher your Klout score becomes. It's not a perfect science by any means, but it's what we've got at the moment.
Klout.com even shows you how many people you are influencing, what their scores are, what your 'true reach' is, and draws groovy graphs so you can track your effectiveness online.
Apart from feeling good about yourself, and massaging your ego with a nice Klout score, what is the point?
Well, if the Tipping Point concept has merit, then your message online will have much more effect the more high scoring Klouters are out there carrying forward your messages, and so spreading it to others. Remember that 90% of people believe personal recommendations (only 14% believe advertising messages these days) so getting your branding message, profile, services, properties, new jobs, out there will depend greatly on the power of those that can connect you to the marketplace.
Virgin Airlines actively seek out people with high Klout scores, and invite them onto their planes for a free, red carpet day out, champagne flowing, when they want to promote a new route or a new service. It's much cheaper (and far more effective) getting "those with Klout" to promote on your behalf. These guys have thousands reading their blog posts, and thousands more on their Facebook pages and Twitter feeds and such.
It has been calculated that your "tweet half life" (half the time it takes for a message on twitter to be read no longer) dramatically increases the higher your Klout score is. A Klout of 40 would mean your tweet's 'half-life' is no more than 5 minutes, whereas a Klout of 70 would mean your tweets are read and retweeted and spread around for an average of 25 minutes. Klout of 85 and half-life jumps to an amazing 5 hours 35 minutes. Imagine having these guys pass on your messages. (Source: Mashable, 4th Nov 2011)
Rather than post your listings out on your own Facebook page, get your owners to do this on your behalf (naming you and your company in the post of course).
Go on twitter and acknowledge those that follow you, follow those back that make sense, and actively draw in as many connectors and mavens as you can find.
Finding those Mavens and Connectors on Klout
Once inside Klout, you can view your 'top influencers'. In my case I have 790 people that I influence, the highest Klout scores being Nicole Nikolay (K=61, social media expert in US), Peter Brewer (K=60, Professionals' social media expert, based in Qld) and then our very own David Willis (K=58, real estate agent and sales coach from Bunbury) and Peter Fletcher (K=54, REIWA's social media contractor). I have met these four people, but I don't know everyone they in turn influence. Many people hang off their messages, so if I want my message to get out, then engaging Nik, David, the two Peters and others pass it on really helps me.
If I want to find out more about David Willis (and who doesn't?!), I click on his name and it pulls up David's Klout profile. I can see what networks he is on and can then "give him some Klout" by clicking on one of the influential about buttons.
I can also quickly find influential people ranked by score that have similar interests to David. By just mousing over the icons, I can tell if they might be an interesting addition to my Twitter followings.
It's the new marketing. Say good bye to the old. Get some Klout in your life!
OVERVIEW of Klout
- Klout (www.klout.com) is company based in San Francisco, California, that provides a way to measure a user's influence online. The analysis is done on data taken from social media sites and measures the size of a person's network, the content created, and how other people interact with that content.
- The 'Klout score' ranges from 1 to 100 with higher scores representing a wider and stronger sphere of influence.
- 'True Reach' (the size of one's engaged audience) is calculated by the number of followers and friends who actively listen and react to your messages.
- 'Amplification Score' is the likelihood that one's messages will generate actions (retweets, @messages, likes and comments).
- 'Network score' indicates how influential your audience is.
- The accuracy of Klout Score has been questioned several times by different researchers however Klout Score is being used by most social media marketers as a barometer of influence.
- In September 2011, Klout calculated a Klout score for its 100 millionth person.
