(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); so ive heard from several people that if you get the yellow light of death you should blow a fan on it for about 24 or more hours.

note: this is only a temporary fix and you will get YLOD again you just keep doing this trick.

so can anyone here confirm weather or not this works

thanks

why is ylod so bad. i have it. my ps3 is fine.


does it break or something?

idk.

i have ylod.

i doubt it will work. if it did work then sony would tell you to do that instead of making you wait a month for a new one.

YLOD is a symbol of many different problems it doesn't mean just one.

For example what your post says to me that your fixing an overheat which will cause YLOD untill it cools dow but there is also a YLOD for HDD failure, power supply failure and just plain your ****ed failure.

YLOD can mean anything unfortunately (

yes i agree with above, it sounds like an overheating problem, if it were the motherboard and adding new heat paste and pads id be able to help you sorry, i dont know much about overheating but im guessing you might need to replace the ps3 fan and heatsink maybe? :/

when you have YLOD the ps3 doesnt turn on not sure what your thinking of

and i tried it and for me it didnt work, but im also not sure what specific problem caused my YLOD

You obviously don't have it



Then its kinda dumb if you had to do this that often. I think that it would be easier to just get a new PS3.

it doesnt come back like next week mmore like every few months

So does it work? Someone PLEASE try it. I have the YLOD and it sucks.
