Im like wtf just happened, "Oh Noes" a yellow light. Now i have nothing to do until me birthday on june 18 because my ps3 got ylod and is now gone. But on the bright side of this tradegy i get to get an xbox for my bday woot
It sucks man. after 3 years of harddisk problems it finally died on me.
R.I.P plus sony's horrible service we cant do anything send it in for 150$ bull s***.

Left for dead is actually fun. Halo Sucks big time. PS3 all the way...i need a new ps3 so this summer im buying a new one and for my bday im buying an xbox. and for christmas Probably a really really expensive router. ($150) Because i will have 2 ps3's and xbox and 3 computers (2 desktops, 1 laptop) and 2 Ipods. plus really good internet service HAHAHA

Yea it sucks it's happened to me 3 times now :mad: what I suggest for it: is to look on craigslist.

I don't how popular carigslist is for you but for where I live it's pretty big but anyway you should look on there for someone to fix your PS3 the average price on there is like 60-100 depending on the person but that's still better than sony and they can get it done faster because there is no waiting time for shipping.

You shouldn't get the thermal compound fix because your ps3 is must likely to brake again lol

Here is the fix that you should look for:

Playstation 3 (PS3) Yellow Light of Death /

Your PS3 is disassembled and the motherboard is screwed into a custom fabricated 1/4 inch aluminum plate to prevent the board from warping during the repair. Old thermal compound is removed from the chips and heat-sinks and the board is then placed on an infrared reflow station where flux is applied around the RSX chip (the consoles GPU) to promote oxide removal and strong solder joints. The board is then brought up to a temperature above 217 degrees celcius. This is the liquidous point of lead-free solder and ensures that new solder stronger solder joints are created. Once the System is function again, which I test by powering up the system without heat-sinks or thermal compound applied; this is important because it confirms that any defective solder joints have not merely been pseudo connected through pressure, but are making an electrical connection through a solid joint, new thermal paste is applied and the system reassembled.

I have had one Ps3 and it has never given me trouble and I have also bought a slim and no problems with it as well... It sucks that it broke on you but way back when I heard a few stories of Fallout three killing ps3s(also xboxs for that matter) so it isnt like it is unheard of..... Also Just replace your ps3 for your bday.... Also L4d is a great game just not in the story department lol ( got it on pc) But anyway best of luck on your new xbox! *cough* get a Ps3*Cough* =D

lol that just sucks

I basically have the same problem as you but my disc motor burned out so it won't read any games. But it still turns on but i can't play anything on it. So i bought a xbox360. I will be getting my ps3 fixed soon I hope. ~TheReaper

Soo Unlucky..

me and my mom are going to disassemble the ps3 and try to fix . Gotta buy all that gay stuff like heatgun.

Maybe you should look what section you're in and stop trying to start shit. I'm just saying this is the PS3 section so of course 90% of ppl here are going to think the PS3 is better then the Xbox. This is a thread that porbably shouldn't have been posted here in the first place and CPt. Playa need to not get worked up, But I'm just saying

it sucks when you console dies :/ same thing happend to me few weeks back i had to pay 130 pound for a new console off sony but they gave me lifetime warranty with it so s'all good
