  • thumbs up if that happened to u this month in february

  • go buy xbox 360 and you will have same problem but red colour :)

  • I know how to fix it

  • only the Versions made after July of 2011 don't have this problem.=/ Sorry bout your PS I had one of the first versions than i got this prob too! So bought one July 2011 and i'm happy again!

  • To fix it, take a hammer and bash in the whole system. Should work fine after that

  • you have destroy your ps3 to look download viruses

  • wheres the yellow line?

  • the same thing happened to my 320gb white ps3, it froze when i was playing black ops, when i turned it on there was no tv signal and none of my controllers would sync with and after about a minute it would completely shut down, not even the red light would show. after about a few seconds i could turn it back on but it would do the same thing. at one piont i actualy hade the yellow light of death but after about 10 more atempts at getting it going it started working again

  • Also,to add to my previous comment -Why has this video got so many dislikes? - Lets see this happen to your brand new slims and see how you feel.When i pay £200+ for something,i expect it to last more than 2 weeks - Its lack of knowledge,thats the problem - YLOD doesnt just mean one fault,it could be any number of faults - Its just an indication of an hardware failure ...As SONY have said themselves - So before you dislike a video,because of fanboy feelings ...THINK.

  • Rage"

  • take it apart and put the hard drive in all the way and if u did that and it is still doing that then your hard drive is corrupted.u need a new hard drive then.happens to me I dropped it and that happend to me.peel off the feet off the bottom and take out the screws and it will come apart.it's easy.{good luck}. ~{-€£¥•¥£€-}~

  • I Had The Same Problem After I Dropped It 320gb Slim

  • yellow light of death? not in my ps3 slim 320 GB. philippines where humidity is very high and it was well known as one of the most hottest country in the world. i played for more than 17 hours straight! 12 in the afternoon is the hottest time in the philippines. i played my ps3 without air condition in my room, with no ps3 cooling system attached to the back of the console. surprisingly my ps3 can take that kind of torture from the day my mom bought it for me 3 years ago. FACT!!!

  • @QueenJamesXXIII your in for a rude awakening when ur slim fries inevitably...FACT!!!

  • @SNaKeYe355 Fact you bitch. LOL! never happens..

  • @QueenJamesXXIII "Fact you bitch. LOL! never happens.."....says the queen...dnt worry we'll see how u react pretty soon or perhaps ur just a sony nutgobbler who already fried his ps3 but will still protect a piece of shit company because they must obviosuly pay ur bills...FACT douche!!!

  • @SNaKeYe355 another xbox fan boy. pointless piece of shit. LOL! 

  • @QueenJamesXXIII that happens to xboxs too. you know the red ring of death.

  • @QueenJamesXXIII i have a ps3 dumbass

  • @QueenJamesXXIII i have a ps3 dumbass

  • @QueenJamesXXIII i have a ps3 dumbass

  • @SNaKeYe355 haahahhahahahahahahahahahah

  • @QueenJamesXXIII Lucky you - My brand new 320gb (2 weeks old UK - New model without the LEDs).Got YLOD ...sigh.Thanfully the store repalced it without any fuss - Lets see how long this one lasts.

  • @mulder3035 well i guess there are some factory defects on some console. my advice is don't put to much caring for your ps3. the more you care the more chance it broke. just like you are wearing white t-shirt and you carefully eating spaghetti and boom, stains.

  • @QueenJamesXXIII I agree mate - Its just pot luck if they die on you.I look after things,but i suspect it makes little difference in the end.

  • yellow light of death? not in my ps3 slim 320 GB. philippines where humidity is very high and it was well known as one of the most hottest country in the world. i played for more than 17 hours straight! 12 in the afternoon is the hottest time in the philippines. i played my ps3 without air condition in my room, with no ps3 cooling system attached to the back of the console. surprisingly my ps3 can take that kind of torture from the day my mom bought it for me 3 years ago.

  • Oh boooooooooo!!!!!!!!

  • hey guys i was playin mw3 n my ps3 just shut down by itself wtf it scared me it beeped 3 times n i jumped up IMMEDIATELY n ran to it n had 2 reset it it did NOT freeze it just completely shut down n i had 2 just restart it is my ps3 slim 320 gb super cool gaming entertainment video streaming music listening photo viewing awesome PS3 ok? lmao

  • This guy probably got a new controller and for older TVs like that he would have to be on an INPUT channel.

  • Some ppl need to stop saying xbox wont have any problems. all systems will have problems like overheating -.-

  • is the ps3 120gb?

  • sounds like your hdd is dead

  • You probaly droped it or something or the hard drive isn't in all the way. I would think that the cords plugged in the back of the PS3 hold heat in so maby thats helps get Ylod. I recommend going in the PS3 recovery menu and format it then rebuild the database.

  • the had drives corrupted you need to get a new 1

  • i went a bought on of those in silver hope i dont get this

  • does anyone else hear that fucking annoying high pitch noise in the back ground!!

  • It's happened to me a few times. If you hold the power button for a while it will reboot. Or definitely try a different hdmi or av lead. The slims are a lot more robust than the fatter ps3's and clean them once a month with a Hoover. don't get an Xbox for Christ sake. Lol

  • my ps3 is doing the exact same thing!!! how do u fix it??

  • its the hard drive i swear it (LOL)

  • is it possible to fix somehow?

  • R.I.P

  • holy shit man! no wonder it has a YLOD, your ps3 has barely ventilation

  • not YLOD - your PS3 doesn't recognise your TV. Hold the power button when starting up to reset the settings.

  • DUDE You must to do this:

    1. When you open the system you must to hold it for 10 sec.

    Then you can play ^^

  • no you dont need to be scared.

  • im scared to by a ps3 now..

  • @phot197 why this rarely happens, ive had my ps3 is 2008 and the only thing i have had wrong with it is the eye reader stopped working, but i sent it to sony and they fixed it

  • Not symptoms of YLOD lol. Your cords are shit have you seen your dino tv? Smh..

  • YOU PUT IT UPSIDE DOWN IN A BOX AND THEY GET A BLOW-DRYER TURN IT TO FULL HEAT THEN START HEATING UP THE SYSTEM BY MOVING IT LEFT TO RIGHT POINTING DIRECTLY TO THE GRILLS WHERE THE FAN BLOWS FOR ABOUT 5 MINS. WHEN ITS OVER 5 MINS STOP THEN PUT IN FREEZER UNTIL IT GETS COLD THEN TRY IT. IT WORKED FOR ME!

  • @opuntia98 the freezer? ROFL!!!! (NO ONE LISTEN TO THIS GUY)

  • I KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS!!

  • ps3 fat is better because i have mine 3yrs and my friend had his ps3 for a week and broke

    me and him were playing black ops zombies on round 9 we only started and *beep*peeeeeeeeewwwwww the fan went off like that and no red light not even a light if he tried to turn it on and he changed the power supply and nothin he got it fixed now it was eiter the cpu or gpu and the fan and someting else

  • i dont think this is ylod...

  • this happened to me before and i just took a nap.turned it on and it worked.

  • Comment removed

  • Why is it YLOD... YLOD is yellow light of death theres no YELLOW light

  • @sk8guns21 In the old PS3 models there will be a yellow light if it brokes.

  • @MrUppmas i know but thats irrelevant. im saying its not ylod its blinking red light because there isnt a yellow light on slims

  • Fuck you

  • @ps3slimer17 Why?

  • i got same problem but then i turn off and wated 2 min then i turned back on and it worked i couldnt believ it lol! :D

  • its not a ylod if it was your ps3 wont stay on for less than 4 sec and the green power led would go from green to yellow to red and shut down

  • the slim model of the ps3 never dies ;)

  • Stuff all consoles and invest in pc's people the games are better and cheaper like bf3 720hd for ps3 and for pc 1080p

  • @TheRoush69 I agree with you but the majority of people either buy a PS3 or Xbox 360 but hardcore gamers buy a PC its just about the money.

  • @TheNeonSmurf Why not get Both!!! Check out my page I build Custom PS3, XBOX360 & Gaming PC ALL in one case COMBO!!!

  • Had the same problem with my old PS3. Apparently you are meant to leave it until the light stops flashing before restarting it.

  • PS3 slim still does get YLOD but its less common because it has smaller parts and its obviously smaller so its less common because it doesn't overheat as much as its older brother did.

  • @parryall was that a joke right? Bandwagon jumper I see what you like Mac products but prefer a Microsoft game console. Haha not just you but people these days. Lmao

  • this happened to me too with xbox 360 try putting the AV in other cords if u have i have 3 cords so i switched to difrenent cords

  • someone could tell me if it's a ps3 slim 120 GB, 160 GB or 320 GB

  • @vanya377 only a 120gb would ever get the ylod high consoles wouldn't i reckon

  • Should of got an Xbox.

    Much more reliable, better built system. Makes less noise. Better online. Better graphics on the games (esp. call of duty), MUCH MUCH MUCH better online interface, an actual community of people, party chat, cross game chat, better exclusives like Gears of War and Halo, Kinect, I could go on.

    Anyone buying a PS3 nowadays I feel sorry for.

  • @MW24jf mine just died 2 mins ago. I have the really old one and it took 3 years

  • I noticed that your eject and power buttons light up, my ps3 slim won't do that please write back I need help

  • @MultiWhat2010 you have the new ps3 slim cech-3001A and he has the ps3 cech-2000A so your ps3 won't break as fast as the old ps3 slims your ps3 was manufactured after august 2011 with a smaller fan but more fan blades and consumes less power so yours will last longer as for me I'm stuck with the 2000 model

  • How long did u have Ps3 slim and the ylod came?

    1 year?

    2 years? plz answer

  • I didnt see a yellow light..,

  • @sscot600 ME TOO i would always give my ps3 breaks like you and they still died on me i have owned 3, 2 original ps3s and a slim, you should call sony they will fix it or either replace it but at a cost

  • it ain't ylod

  • dude if this happens its cuz u just played on a hd ps3 and need to hold the power button for around 15 secs till it starts bepping like 4-5 times or hold it till it turned off the hold it again to turn it back on and u would power setting options TY

  • ahhhhh get a new ps3 slimline???

  • That sounds like a microwave.

  • GUYS YOU CAN FiX THIS! When you connect yoir ps3 to a different tv it wont reconize it. Therefore, nothing comes up om the screen. You just need to hold down the power button until it beeps once. Then it works.

  • @bullrog21zombie nope, it wont fix a hard drive error. i know that trick of switching it from hd to normal tv, it didnt work

  • @sscot600 did you try to get int the recovery menu en restoring the ps3 ?? but then again you would lose your saved stuff

  • @sscot600 So... did you find out how to fix the problem? My friend's ps3 has the same problem.

  • @bullrog21zombie its gotta beep 2x

  • masz tv sd idioto musisz przycisnąć dwa razy na konsolę

  • what is YLOD. sorry kinds an xbox360 fan

  • @AnonymousAssult its the Red Ring of Death for the ps3

  • @sscot600 no its the yellow light of death for PS3 and red ring of death for xbox

  • @sscot600 no their is a yellow light of death but thier r many ways to get rid of da red ring 

  • @AnonymousAssult

    Thanks for not starting the war between what's better, PS3 or XBOX. You may think XBOX in your opinion, well i think its PS3.

  • @AnonymousAssult its the yellow light of death or some other people called yellor light of destruction

  • soryy i mean ''heart''

  • if my ps3 wold done this to me i would have an hard atack.

  • This just happened to me a while ago on my 60gig :( I guess I should buy a new one or send it to Sony to repair it.

  • YLOD,GLOD, AND RBLOD ARE ALL SIGNS OF HDD FAILURE GEEZ

  • your hdd is death

  • That isn't YLOD!

  • To be honest no matter how long you play the console isn't the main factor. It is when the console breaks under the warranty that is the factor. After watching some videos it has become apparent to me that many people who get the PS3 as a gift, obviously don't have the receipt, as it would be rude to provide a receipt saying how much you had spent on someone. But sony refuses to repair consoles tha have broken in under a year of the date of manufacture when you have no recepit, serial no's sony?

  • @jonny2k100 some right?!?!?!?!?!i asked for it for christmas!!!!!please not ALL people!!!!

  • Gay guy

  • Looks to me like it's not even plugged into the tv

  • @chafe2923 ur a fag seen ur channel lmao faggot footwear huh?anyway all these dumb asses think they know everything my ps3 aquired the ylod after the 3.72 update. I have the 80 gb 1st gen. and when i turn it on it turned green then a light light green then beeped twice following with a constant blinking red light looks like its time to fix the ps3 now if u dont know what ur talking but plz do not reply to any1's post just makes u look stupid

  • thats fucking terrible when we see the ylod of ps3 you used to love like a baby, whether you own a fat or slim, shit it breaks heart worse than breaking up with gf/bf

  • I've had my ps3 slim for a year and a half now, never had any problems. It sits on the lower shelf of a wood cabinet (there's no back on the cabinet, which is 2 1/2 inches from the wall) sitting right in the center 10 cm from the back wall, 3 inches from one cabinet on left side, 4 inches away from my Wii on the right side, and nothing in front. In short, I wanted it protected but did all I could to give it space to breathe, and if it gets hot I give it a rest. Never any probs and I love it dea

  • ylod could be hdd failure though

  • try the 3 beep

  • no the real problém is your table no wood table & no heat

  • Lol. Only a big fake.. Epic Fail epic fake :)

  • YLOD comes from Tight Spaces no fresh air getting to it or sitting side ways up! i have mine i played it more then 24 hrs a day its still lives because its in a open space! with air movement

  • I dont think its possible to get YLOD on Slim.My no life sister plays the ps3 right when she gets home from school until like 10:30(pm)...and in the summer...shes fucking playing 24/7 and still no ylod.

  • Dude it's prob cuz you play it for like 20 hours without turning it off

  • @thehuntedman7 no actually i took very good care of it, my friends even made fun of me because i would give it breaks

  • @sscot600 haha I do the same with my ps2 hehehe. I'm getting this soon, I cant wait!

  • @thehuntedman7 Thats not how it happens at all. Be less ignorant please.

  • @thehuntedman7 The ps3 is made to be played that long,but only do it if you going to buy a fan for it

  • ure sure ur in good TV channel ?

  • Doesnt matter got new ps3 that next day

  • Comment removed

  • i hope that never happens to my baby

  • my ears ahhhhhhh!!cuz of your 1080p tv

  • someone plays the PS3 too much :P

  • That's not YLOD, Hold Your Power Button Down Till You Here The Beep.

    Then Let Go,

  • ill give u 20 for the controller.. lol

    thats wut u get after the yellow light whit good old fat ps3

  • Ohhh man I hope this dosent happen to my

    320 gig model sorry for your loss bud

  • Your PS3 is pissed off because your not using an HDTV.

  • Fake.

    I've had a PS3 since 2007 with no faults except when I left it in a closed cabinet, it got YLOD but turned back on.

  • it's either HD failure, hardware failure, power supply or overheating. I thought this lights of death issue will ended up on slim? o.O

  • Damn I had my ps3 since 2006 and I haven't had problems yet

  • this isn't YLOD, there's no yellow light!!!

  • @liampw20 this is still kind of scary cuz i got the slim wen my ps3 got the ylod bcuz i thought u couldnt get the problem on the slim

  • wen dose this hapen?

  • to clost to the tv plus the walls

  • Your amazing 5 p Tv xD

  • is the ps3 fat console more vulnerable to ylod than the slim

  • Damn that's fucked up

  • whore. how you fix yourself consoles and heat it too firing to view consoles

  • @GlotekxD uhhh what?

  • nice!

  • U took out the harddrive it's obvious the HDD didn't even blink and the YLOD usually gets to the XMB and freezes then shuts off

  • @chafe2923 trust me, why would i fake my ps3 dying. it was just because of hard drive failing, i didnt take it out. besides ive already sent it out to sony and got it fixed months ago. just needed a new HDD

  • @sscot600 ahh ok

  • @sscot600 how much, and how long did it take you to fix. please tell me soon

  • @chafe2923 YLOD never gets to the XMB, it comes on and then goes yellow after about 2 seconds. I have had it. YLOD doesn't let the system boot up properly which means that the HDD doesn't boot up right away. That is why the system doesn't come on instantly. This is why the HDD light didn't come on.

  • @Holmesy9501 o well maybe my friends slim did it cause he had ylod and he said i could have his ps3 cause warranty was out i took out theHDD put it back in worked fine then gave it back to him cause i had a ps3 in layaway that i was gettin out on that friday

  • thumbs up when he said wait for it u thought it was a screamer and paused the fid

  • this is fake he took out the hard drive

  • Can this happen on 320 gig model

    Any1 know or is it the same with other ps3 models I have a 320 gig sum1 plz respond

  • If Sony can be Hacked why cant Microsoft? Haha!

  • Hey You guys relax. PS3 And Xbox Both are the same it just defrrient because of its system and compbility to provide you soem stuffs.

  • Here's the only way to fix it...GET AN XBOX 360!!!

  • @CoDBOxIPWNubZx WHO THE FUCK WANTS A GAYBOX 360? FUCK THAT SHIT! HOW MANY GAY RINGS OF DEATH DID YOU GET YOU HOMO? TO EVERY ONE PLAYSTATION 3 THAT GETS YLOD, 7 X-BOX 360 GET THE RED RING OF DEATH.

  • @PierreDeMinuit LOL At least Xbox Live didn't get hacked to remain offline for 7+ weeks. I feel bad for you. You are pretty much a fanboy of sony. Fanboy. Kiss me now or forever will, hold your vagina.

  • @CoDBOxIPWNubZx OH MAN YOUR RIGHT! SONY DID GET HACK FOR ABOUT 7+WEEKS....... OH WAIT LIKE I GIVE A FUCK! SURE THEY GOT HACK, BUT I'M STILL PLAYING ON LIVE FOR FREE BITCHES! FOR 5 STRAIGHT YEARS KICK ASS AND TAKING NAMES, AND PLUS WHEN THEY GOT BACK ON LIKE, WE SONY FANBOYS GOT FREE FUCKING GAMES! SO QUIT CRYING AND GET THEM CHIPS OUT OF YOUR MOUTH FAT BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
