haha im a nerd because when shit brakes I get a new one ok .....wrap your ps3 up in a shit in then microwave it for 5 minuets or so and see if that will fix it

if you got nothing to say thats actually gonna help him fix his ps3 GTFO "put your ps3 in the microwave" nice tut bro xD

A flasher won't work because RLOD pretty much means console death. Not RSOD correct? And it's not under warranty anymore, so pretty much screwed right?

Not necessarily, its one of the following causes... bad PSU, the chipsets are not making full contact to the board, or they are overheating.

Overheating/contact is the cause 90% of the time. Take apart the PS3, and heat the whole motherboard to prevent it from cracking due to expansion. Then focus on both of the chipsets in a circular motion for 5-10 minutes (Using a heatgun)

You can use a hairdryer, its a temporary fix, I have done it with a hairdryer and fixed RLOD, but it eventually comes back. I recommend taking apart the PS3, cleaning off the thermal compound, "melt the chipsets" back to the board with a heat gun, then reapply new thermal solution. I've fixed 6 PS3's with the same problem, never got a complaint afterwards.

PM me if you need further help.

i will have a go and cant say thanks enough for your post bro might have saved me 3.55, i was gettin confused as to what the difference between RLOD and YLOD this is why i wasnt sure what to do anyway thanks again bro
