I got a cecha01 model ps3 with a aps226.From what I read this power supply gets very hot.I thought maybe I could try to see if their is something I could do to make it run cooler.Not talking about just throwing a fan on it.I'm not experienced with PSUs but i'm guessing the mosfets are the major main components that generate the heat.
Am I right?Here is what is printed on most I was looking at in the psu.

Kester solder

Anyone know where I can buy some kester solder without having to buy a bundle of rolls?
I want to get Sn62Pb36Ag2(62% tin/36% lead/2% silver) #50/245 .025 part #2471508809
Everywhere I look I have to buy a min of 20 to 25 rolls
Sorry I went a bit off topic on my own thread lol.Thought it would be silly to make a new thread just to ask this.

Re: Xbox 360 slim(corona V2):A cap by the psu is dented,I need help identifying it

Thanks mariushm!I tried to find the exact model & measurements but couldn't find them.It sucks because I don't have a mm to spare in height in this area.A hdd port casing rests right over these.I will try & look more.I seen a fujistu cap on ebay that looked pretty close but it wasent the same code.

I took a chance & bought a slim listed as parts/repair off ebay for $37 shipped.
The seal didn't appear to be broken or tampered with.I noticed the exaust vent had a couple small cracks in it.The console powered up with no video & audio,showed green then after 3-5 sec went red.

When I was thinking about reflowing the southbridge & xcgpu,I thought I should do the obvious & look really hard for any physical damage.This cap is all I found that had any damage.
I turned the console on probably 26 times total,3 times it came on & froze on the logo screen...
