Ps3 Yellow Light - What Are Your Options To Fix The Ps3
For a PS3 yellow light of death fix, you basically have 2 options:
Send it to Sony for repairs.
Advantages:
-You should get a 3 month warranty on the repairs
-The creators will be doing the repairs
Disadvantages:
- If choose this you'll be out about $150 (unless your PS3 is still under warranty),
- You will have to wait up to 6 weeks to have your PS3 back
- Sony will erase the hard drive contents
OR
Fix it yourself.
You can really do this! All you need is a good repair guide. Good guides have step-by-step instructions, pictures and maybe even videos. Some of these guides allow you to retain the hard drive contents and have one hour fixes.
A word of caution- Opening the PS3 case voids your warranty. So for those who are still covered by the warranty, the best option may be to send it to Sony.
Benefits of using a repair guide
- Many good guides cost a lot less than sending your PS3 to Sony
- Fix PS3 yellow light much faster than sending to Sony. Some repairs can take as little as one hour
- Some guides cater to many problems that can happen with the PS3 so if you fix it, and another problem occurs later, you may be able to repair that problem also. Compare this to sending it to Sony multiple times and paying around $150 every time
