lol mine are all working no reason to nuke mine your the one trying to fix a shit one bro not me good luck

Sorry for the slow reply, but as far as I know YLOD and RLOD are the same thing. Like I said, I've fixed numerous systems, including one just last week that I now use for myself on craigslist (Cheap 80$ 3.55 ).

Some call it the RLOD some call it the YLOD... All it is, is a yellow light blinks once then it continues to blink red. Giving it both names I suppose.

And no problem! I fixed mine with a hairdryer to test the method, takes about 20-30 min on each chipset, but it saves you the $80-100 that you would invest in a good heat gun that for people like you, would probably be a one time use.

PS; If you attempt fixing with a hairdryer, I don't recommend doing the method where you put the PS3 into a box, wrap it in a towel and focus the airflow in the back vents of the PS3. I tested this method, RLOD/YLOD came back within a half hour of the system being on. I took it apart, focused on the chipsets, It has now been 3 days and RLOD/YLOD has yet to engulf my system.
