or Tring 2 fix my ps3 on my own.
PLZ help me out
if so tha wuld b great!
Thankxx

If you try and fix it by opening it you will lose ur warrenty.150 is better

does it matter if the stickeer that says Warenty is off?
cuz my lil bro took itoff.

yes it does matter they will think u dont need there help so they tell you sorry but we cant help u

fml.
omfg

Sony only charges you $150 if either your warranty has expired, or it has been void by removing the sticker. Even if you attempt to fix it yourself, Sony will still send you a refurbished PS3 for $150. You have nothing to lose... If, however, you have the original PS3 model, I would consider either fixing it yourself or sending it in, and buying the newer model.

R u serious.
ok s i got my ps3 last chrismas.
so ill i got d is sendit in.
pay $150 an i get a new 1
even if i took off my warrenty sticker???

Heres a other way
There is this company called gophermods you can look it up online
they will fix your ps3 with the ylod for 69.00 and you will get your own system back if the disk is in it you will get it back
you dont lose all your data because its your system
and if you need to send it back again after a while they will only charge you for shipping and the labor will be free
they even do reball service which i think is the best repair since the solder they used to make the machine cracks and that why shit happens(how ever reball service is like 139.00)
its up to you they do got a good service record and its cheaper than sony and you dont got to worry about any thing.

lol fix it ur self its so easy i fixed mine 3 days ago

Just try to do it yourself.

My friend had the same problem and managed to fix it himself.
I'm pretty sure the YLOD happens when the heat sink pops off the GPU/CPU, all you have to do is re-connect it.
