Were you playing Grand Theft Auto IV, when suddenly the ylod appeared on your PS3? Are you looking to fix the ylod? Well you're in luck, today I have some tips below to clarify this mess. The following tips should work, but if not, I have also listed some alternative options:
Check for a loose cable. If not, restart the console. Disconnect all cables except the power cord and then reconnect them. If that fails, try to remove the hard drive and put it back in.
It did not work as you expected? Yes, sometimes these things happen! Anyway, now more likely you want to send the PS3 to Sony for them to fix the ylod?.Well, yes, in theory you can do that, but in practice it will not be the fastest thing or safest thing to do. Why? This is due to Sony:
Charges $150 for repair, even when it is a mechanical error on their part. Sony can take up to 6 weeks to repair the problem. Before sending your PS3 you have to make sure information is removed from the hard drive! Also I am 100% definitely sure you don't want all your gaming deleted PS3's hard drive, right?
Fortunately, there is an alternative option available. This option is not to wait 6 weeks and not forking $ 150 + shipping for repairs. You can actually fix the ylod yourself. This method requires a PS3 repair guide. You should have your PlayStation 3 in good working condition in no time, with a quality repair guide. Don't give up on your PS3 just yet, until you have exhausted all resources.
