What is ps3 yellow light of death? It's when your ps3 flashes yellow light and signalling you its upcoming death
. It's not a funny situation for avid ps3 gamer like myself when it happens. Imagine not able to play your ps3 when you already invested hundreds of dollars on games and accessories.
So what exactly does YLOD aka "Yellow Light Of Death" means? It is similar to Windows blue screen of death when your computer crashes. In this case your playstation 3 is the one crashing due to serious hardware failure. Most likely cause is overheating of the ps3 motherboard. Once you see the symptom of yellow light you need to do something about it.
As a do it yourself type of guy, I immediately started to research ways to fix my ps3. First I found out that it may cost $150 and 4 weeks repair time if I send my unit back to Sony. This is totally unacceptable! Why should I spend $150 to fix something that shouldn't happen in the first place? Even if I am willing to spend the money, I am not willing to wait 4 weeks without playing games.
After more research I found out it is possible to fix the problem myself with some common household tools. I came across a step-by-step guide called YLOD Repair Wizard written by a professional PS3 repair guy Paul Thompson that shows you simple steps to fix yellow light of death at home. Since this guide comes with money back guarantee it was a no brainer for me to try it out. I was able to fix my ps3 problem after I followed the step by step video. The process was simple and not technical at all, and I wonder why it takes 4 weeks $150 for manufacturer to fix the problem. >>Take a look at the steps to fix ps 3 yellow light of death Here!
