Just do the fan test(hold the eject button switch the button in the back to off and then switch it back without taking ur finger off the eject button) then take a blowdryer to the back on high for 10 to 20 minutes- 6 inches awa from the back moving back and forth. take a regular fan and put it on the middle power (usually on 2 if ur fan has 3 buttons) and leave it running from 20 inches away from the back for 7 or 10 minutes. thats how you take out the dsk and fix the Yellow Light of Death.
This has happend to me twice for downloading to many music, pictures, Demos to and i just called up Sony and they told me how to fix it and now it works
What the hell did you do to it? I had my PS3 for 2 years and it never broke still hasn't. but what's funny is that I've had 4 Xbox 360's in 4 Years....
It's not the virus, your PS3 has overheated and blown your fan. It happened to mine last year but I had insurance and I got another one.
The best thing was they give me the full money back that I paid for the console which was £515. when I went to buy another, PS3's were £249 and I bought a load of extras lol.
Damn bro I hope that dosent happen to mine. I heard of some kind of virus that attacks your ps3 when you try to go online, it prevents you from updating your ps3 software. Don't get pissed off and throw it though, I'm soure there is some way of fixing it. Just keep searching blogs online and check YouTube. Happy hunting.
my playstation have started to delete all my trophies... so when i start Assassins creed 2 or any other game.... and is says it need the trophies to play -.-' D':
Feel Ya Man. This just happened to us. There are guides on youtube. Some really good ones actually. But for the time being we just bought a new one too. Good Luck
its like a fucking guide on how to disassemble and reassemble yourps3. i memorized it and i fixed my ps3 6 times from the yellow light but evantually it fucks up your ps3 like me i cant use my ps3 anymore after the 6th time i fixed it
oh yeah there's supposed to be a failsafe to get ur disc out--flip off the back switch, hold the eject button, then turn the switch back on, but it didn't work with mine. i took the whole thing apart, and since i lacked the right screwdriver, ended up carefully tearing up the disc container to get it out.
hey buddy, first of all, if this is cod 6 that you lost ur ps3 to, ur not alone. the graphics and what not make the system really hot and cause hardware failure. if you want to have it work for about another 3 months, you can buy some thermal compound and a heat gun and take ur ps3 apart and apply thermal compound to the cpu and gpu, but it's not a permanent solution.
mine did that it's fine. send it to sony for free they send u a new ps3 with ur casing on ur ps3 on it and it works. it took my ps3 about 14 months to break.
OK PEOPLE ... its called the Yellow Light Of Death (YLOD) and it can be fixed by watching manuals on youtube ... if your warrenty is still on then i HIGHLY suggest phoning Sony and Asking them to Repair it or send a new 1 but if the warrenty's OVER then watch some vids on youtube and ull soon be able to use it again !! OR BUY A BRAND NEW ONE ! lool i love it when i talk all SMARTISH
actually i just took about a ps3 myself since the warranty is out so u gotta take it apart to get to the disc holder, Note i had to do this with my wii when i dropped it to get my zelda out, u just take it apart and the screws are under the ps3 sign so u gotta take the bottom screw out and there ya go have fun. thats all i can say.
EASIER SOLUTION if its a 40GB and has the FAN TEST option ... *ran by Holding Eject Turning it off at the back switch and turning it back on ... Therefore activatng you PS3 to do a fan test to get rid of all the dust and whilst its going LOUDLY press the Eject thing and BOOM YOU HAVE YOU GAME BACK .. thts what i did anywayz ._.
listen dude it will work later it over heated you been playing for liek 5 days or 2 days and it over heated it will come back that why the ps3 almost have no fails but i not syayign anything but it does crash but deont fail
Nah m8 it wont :( iv had the same problem for over 1 and a half weeks and still Fucked up :( soo im waiting 4 sony to phone me back up and if they say sorry cant help you im fucking gonna RAPE em and do it myself :)
Hey bro this happened to me too if it ever happens again just take a vacuum and suck the Hot air out that just means you have really hot air over the CPU or Some Hardware
Mine shorted out on me and i sent it back when it had no warranty and got a BRAND NEW one for $150 bucks($149.99). and this was after i had it for 3-4 years
I feel sorry for you , if that would happen to me my heart would break (really) today im going to get most of my saves on a memory stick after I seen what can happen to a PS3 .
Wait does anyone else have a problem with COD stuck inside their PS3? Caz i noticed that whenever i play COD4 my PS3 fan is on high setting compared to other PS3 games. Does this mean COD4 can really brick ur PS3? Please give me a PM if you have any reactions.
i seem to notice that when most ppl get the red light of death they ALL have call of duty in the system, including myself. and there is no known fix to the red light issue only the yellow light issue i have found a solution too.. i think sony and treyarc are trying to fuck us!!.. this problem didnt exixt until the new cod came out.. correct me if im wrong... BLOW ME SONY AND GIVE US A FIX
