If you're a devoted gamer, you're probably familiar with the Xbox 360's famous red light of death. Well, as a PS3 owner, don't feel left out. You have a similar version called YLOD, the yellow light of death. This yellow light is an indication that your PS3 is experiencing a serious overheating problem. This can be a destructive event when the system's motherboard becomes overheated to a critical point. Conversely, the light can also mean that the PS3 has been exposed to extremely cold storage conditions. The extreme cold can cause motherboard damage and cracked solder connections which will result in the YLOD being illuminated.
The Standard PS3 YLOD Repair
If the problem causing the YLOD is simple, then the solution given below should fix it.
1. Turn off the PS3 for at least twenty minutes, and then turn it back on.
2. Ensure that all cables are properly and securely connected at both ends.
3. Remove the PS3's hard drive and reinstall it. Better results are often experienced by performing this step several times.
If the standard repair does not fix YLOD problems, there other options, as described below.
