How To Repair A Ps3 That Has The Yellow Light Of Death( YLOD) by IyfeNamikaze(m): 11:03pm On Jul 12, 2014
Please guys i need your help urgently! please!

My playstation three console just developed the YLOD (yellow light of death) probem and i dont know what my chances are of repairing it or if it can be repaired at all.

I have read in some other forums about how to repair the problem but none of those forums were talking in naira because they are all foreign forums mostly USA, and the repair centres they were mentioning were also located in the US.

So fellow nairalanders can anyone PLEASE help me with tips on how to solve this problem or someone who knows how to repair the problem for me please.

MODS you can help me take this to the front page where it will get some attention . PLEASE PLEASE

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

because its called yellow light of death doesn't mean that the ps3 can't be repaired again.
i have seen some demonstrations on youtue on how to on how to repair it permanently but i'm scared to open my game i might mess up somthing or lose some screws so thats why i need someone who knows his way around a ps3 mother board.

Even if you've "fixed" it, that ps3 of yours wont last up to 4months before it finally packs up for good!
Id advise you use these next few months to save up for another console.

Cheers.

Since February??

Gee! Then he's one very lucky dude I must admit.
You say lead works?? How is it done? I've never heard of lead being used to resurrect dead Ps3's though.
I still have one YLOD ps3 with me.. In fact, its actually Red Light of Death right now due to its frequent "resurrections"
;-D I dunno if it'll work on mine sha..(The Lead technique I mean)

solder the defective chip with lead. the YLOD is mostly caused by over heating, so if you use anything that can easily melt to repair it, the problem will likely happen again. so thats why lead is the best method.
