Ps3 Yellow Light Error

just had one of these pop up any one know how to fix

 

i got the same thing, time to retire your Ps3

 

if you guys got it fix and you guys are in nyc can you let me know who did it? i just got my ylod and im looking around for some one to reball it

 

prob the harddrive crash or blueray needs to be replaced

 

Don't know how to, but I guess there are some ways to fix this.

I watched a few vids on youtube. If u still have warranty, I would be best to bring it back to store.

But what I know, what people did on youtube, was that they open up the whole thing and than clean the CPU's inside. After that they fixed the PS3 back up and than it worked somehow.

 

What game where you playing when it happened?

 

take it apart take off the heatsinks clean up the thermal paste and renew it put it back together...if that doesnt work then heat up the cpu and gpu with a hairdryer and renew the thermal paste it

 

^ that is what i saw on youtube

 

I had that problem fixed it. lasted about 2 weeks Might as well by a new one

 

There are only temporary fixes to that issue that give some playability for short times, sadly the PS3 is toast.

 

you get his problem mainly from over playing tht shit, so best advicce get a life to save yur ps3

 

I had this issue about 2 years ago with my PS3. I used the following video on Youtube to fix it.

Torx driver link

I had to purchase a special Torx driver from Amazon to open it up because i could not get it open with regular Torx driver. Last a few months each time, fixed it about 4 times but my son spent a lot of time on it, finally gave up and purchased a new PS3 slim a few months back with additional warranty (because he will burn this one out as well LOL)

 

this happen to me, i try fix it buh i juss buy a new one

 

honestly bro there is no way to completely fix it yes u can open it up which voides the warranty and reapply the thermal grease and clean it out but i have boys that did that and there ps3s only lasted for 1 month after doing this so basically you should just pay $100 and get a brand new one u cant go wrong

 

i fixed mine, worked for a couple weeks then same problem again.
just buy a new slim for 200 . saves you time!

 

lol i havent had dis problem yet and i have the 700$ first model they came out widd xD
