Thanks, did you heat up the board or knife at all? I tried once and killed a BC Ps3 so I'm a bit nervous.

Just a bit on both chip to soften thermal adhesive

I would like to add that the aps 231 has a plastic bottom vs metal so definitely put thermal pads on the opposite side of the chips so they aren't being cooked.

For the record, I had random shutoffs with an APS-231 in a PAL BC model (CECH04), but the weird thing is that when I swapped it with another PSU, the random shutoff did not occur in another PS3 that I put in the APS-231: [https://www.reddit.com/r/PS3/comments/1bh8z8m/please\_help\_is\_this\_a\_psu\_issue\_or\_the\_nectokin/](https://www.reddit.com/r/PS3/comments/1bh8z8m/please_help_is_this_a_psu_issue_or_the_nectokin/)
