i fix Ps3's for my hobby and fixed over 30 Ps3's and Ylod is easy to fix . i got an RLOD Ps3 myself and tried to fix it just with the YLOD method but it didnt work ... why ??
cuz RLOD ( its RSOD Btw : Red Screen Of Death ) had NOTHING to do with a bad connection like the YLOD ( Yellow Light Of Death )
RSOD means you have a Bad NAND it IS fixable but you need infectus Modchip to read and rewrite te bad nand
i found that fix cuz i was experimenting with it and just tried to solder up my Infectus modchip on it and i was suprised it worked !
so that RSOD system ( 80GB model ) is now my infectus downgrade system for testing my Dev tools and homebrews etc.
Hope this cleared somthing up about YLOD and RSOD

Alot of people get confused with the light on the ps3 staying red, and call it rlod... Because the yellow flash is only for a split second, and if u blink u will not see it..lol.. Had my ps3 get the lyod a couple of monts ago, (fatboy), and it was pretty easy to fix.. But that ps3 got perma-banned, so its in the closet collecting dust now... Xbod rrod is easy to fix.. With tutorials like this, its even easier...
yeah i assumed it was Rlod sorry just because it was a red light not doing anything but i fixed it
