To get it together again I searched the net and found hundreds of very helping hands. After all, I'm not the only one with the ylod-experience.
After doing the "hairdryer-trick" (I used a heatgun) and reapplying thermal paste to the cpu and the gpu (I think thats what they are called), I finally got the box together. And it worked!
I'm flying again!

Congratulations on getting your system to work.
Just a heads up - It may be a good idea to get a new PS3 while your YLOD-Fixed one still works & transfer the data over. The system probably will die again, VERY soon.
