(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey guys, I am panicing because my main ps3 (one of 3) just got the yellow light of death today. It came out of no where and unfortunately this is my ps3 that I have all of my good game saves and game data on and I am worried that I am I going to lose all of that. It has taken me about 3 years to complete all of the games I have completed on that ps3 and I was just wondering if anyone knows if it is possible for ps3 support to fix my ps3 without erasing data? Or am i screwed? Please respond i am very nervous! I am sending this ps3 in very soon to be fixed but I need to know if its worth it and if it will save all of my game saves and data and if when I turn it on after being fixed will everything be the same way I left it?

sorry you will lose all your game saves, ive had it happen to me twice and each time they sent me a refurbished one.

damn then what im gonna do is buy a new ps3 and just put that harddrive in it and i think ill be set.

its yellow light of death just to let you know not the yellow ring

and oh yeah your screwed because i had the first ps3 60GB and it got yellow ring within a year and i didnt even go on it

nope, ur still ****ed, removing the hard drive wipes it, even if it didnt the ps3 will format a new hard drive as soon as u turn it on, resulting in a empty hard drive

When my PS3 got the 'Yellow Light of Death' (YLOD), I just fixed it following a tutorial on YouTube. I was then able to copy my gamesaves onto a USB flash drive. The PS3 only lasted a few days before getting the YLOD again, but I still got to keep my gamesaves that weren't copyright protected.

Support can fix it for $$$.

Is it a Fat PS3? I've repaired those before and it's quite simple once you've repaired 'em so many times

yrod epic lmao.

don't panic!! go to you and search "ps3 yellow ring of death fix" and bam. takes bout 35min to fix. you'll need a heat gun, cost like 24 bucks & patience . WORKS 100% but you void ur warranty . at least everything is saved

yeah its a fat one. and can they fix it without taking the hard drive out?
