Alas, I have met thee, fabled YLOD.

[grinvader]

Condolences.
For reference, how long ago have you bought it ?

[blackmyst]

Yellow light of death...? What's that.

Nov '07, it's a fat 60GB.

YLOD is the PS3 equivalent of the 360 RROD, and indicates an unrecoverable hardware failure.

Damn. Not cool.

Decent run.
Sledgehammer funeral, rest in pieces.

[odditude]

actually biting the bullet and sending it in for repair. i don't have a heatgun nor the time to tear it down to reflow the board and hope that bad solder is actually the problem, but if i get a new one i give up the ps2 compatibility that i regularly use.

plus, repair is MUCH cheaper than a new or refurb.

5 years isn't bad, but all of my other consoles are still alive and kicking (except the original PS1 that one of my college dorm-mates cooked alive by running it on a carpet for 6 hours).

i had to give up BC after bringing my phat back to life twice. now i have to scrounge around ebay or craigslist when i get the urge to play persona.

RROD? You mean the Crimson Pacman?
