If you're a serious PlayStation 3 game enthusiast, you've heard about the Xbox 360's "red ring of death." PlayStation 3 owners are also known to suffer from a similar and equally frightening error known as either the "yellow light blunder," "PS3 blinking lights," or the "PS3 yellow light of death (YLOD)." The YLOD error in PlayStation 3 is a general error indication and can mean many things, the most common being: * A hard drive failure when trying to install a game.

* The occurrence of a power surge.

* Malfunctioning of PS3 due to a buildup of dust inside the PS3 console. If you've experienced this yellow light of death error, you undoubtedly want to get rid of it. It has been the source of much grief for many PS3 gamers. There are basically only two options for fixing this problem: send the system back to a Sony service center for repairs or learn how fix it yourself. The simplest and most straightforward yellow light of death fix option is to package up your PS3 system and send it off to a Sony service center. Simple in terms of your level of involvement, but costly. You could spend up to $150 for repairs, if your system is out of warranty, and you can expect to wait for as long as two months for the repaired system to be returned. Sony repair is usually a high quality service, but there are persistent rumors of lost PS3s, getting back different units, and never seeing the units again, but that may be simple urban legend. There is another option, however, do it yourself. If you get yourself a copy of a good PS3 repair guide, there are several offered online, you can learn how to fix the yellow light of death by yourself in only a short time. With a few simple tools and a little patience you can have your system up and running in hours, in many cases the time spent fixing problems yourself will be less than the time that would have been spent packaging the system for shipping to a repair center. Some common repairs take only a few minutes to complete. Making repairs on your own give you a self satisfying feeling of control, and saves you the annoyance of packaging, shipping, waiting, and paying for Sony repairs. Not only would you be able to fix the PS3 yellow light of death, you'd be in a position to fix all of your common PS3 error problems.About the Author:
