This happened to me at the weekend. But I managed to fix it!!! I think it is due to poor solder contacts on the mainboard so if you get it hot enough you can reheat and set them all. Sounds weird but it works. Remove the HDD then Get a hair drier and blow it evenly into the back fan intakes for 25-35 mins. If you put your fingers in the side of the hard drive bay and they get burnt you know it is good to try again. Let it cool first, refit the drive then it should be fine. Then Back it up!!
Thanks for the comment. Ylod repair kit come in the post yesterday, I'll try to fix it one last time if that don't work I'll make a lunch box out of it.....
Since the light is turning yellow, it is apparently the YLoD. From what I gathered, it is an internal issue. Either sending it in for repairs or just buying a new PS3 would be best.
