i have the 'Yellow Light of Death' (YLOD) If your PS3 will not turn on, or if it turns on and the yellow LED flashes then blinks red you have an overheating problem and some of the connections to the motherboard may have been broken -

found a place on the net called www.videogamerepairs.co.uk

has anyone used them before

price for repair os £69.99

Sony have offered me a exchange for £128

but i prefer to keep my old data

any suggestions on repairs

thanks

1) you can try to find out which parts need resoldering and try to solder them back on yourself

2) Pay either the price they are asking.

3) Sell it on ebay then save up more to get a new one.


You'd think by now SOny would admit its a manufacturing fault, havent M$ admitted the fault with theirs and exchange them for free?

Oh also does that site mention anything about postage? If not then you'll probably have to pay to send and have the unit returned, which will probably be about £15 each way, while Sony may include the cost of collecting and returning the unit. Best to find that out as well.
