REMAKE | FIX PS3 YELLOW LIGHT WITHOUT OPENING PS3!

[coolcar100]

I was gonna do this, but then you said it's not a permanent fix and a lot of comments are saying it can melt the PS3, don't wanna risk it. But good tut for people selling though :)

[xMistaNinja]

@coolcar100 you have YLOD?

[coolcar100]

@xMistaNinja Yep, and I hate the YLOD, I do have an Xbox and a PC that's good enough to play games, but before I got them I had my PS3 , and that has Black Ops, Battlefield 3 (which I have on Xbox as well, but I'm a higher level on PS3), MW2, you know, most of the games people like. And I can't play half of them because my PS3 decided to test out it's yellow light :S

[xMistaNinja]

@coolcar100 lol unlucky, can you still play on it?

[coolcar100]

@xMistaNinja No it gave me the YLOD, meaning the console will no longer switch on because it is detecting a problem, so it will automatically shut down for safety reasons, like to prevent a fire or something.

[imalwaysfallen]

i tried it it worked for a couple mins then stopped. good video tho

[gabbanga]

i pretty much did this exactly the same way and it didnt work, any suggestions?

[TheHoboshowz]

The heat will not effect the HDD there is no need to remove before doing this. Great video btw.

[buttybuchblabe]

Dain u grow fast!

[angellisvamp]

ok this fix worked ! im quite surprised about this. i have one issue tho . now the ps3 fans not working meaning the console warns u after a few mins that its getting hot and shuts off.

any ideas

[BadBoyCoolDudeRulez]

damn the back f my ps3 melted the plastic bit i think its coz i kept it to near but i reccomend u open it then do it my prob was didnt have screwdriver that fit

[dgreenfsu66]

Worked like a charm, Thx!

[pietrokam]

THX!!!!!!

It worked!!!!!!!!!

[GRASSNINJA16]

what u should have done is SHOW US that u actually had the ylod before "fixing it"

[BadBoyCoolDudeRulez]

umm this is second time im doing it first time it workd but after few days i got red light blinking and then i got ylod again gonna try it agian

[donporoto]

Your method worked for me, thanks!

I hope it work for enough time to save money for a slim.

[TheOfficialJwalk]

im in the cooling process.. i hope this works.. but question.. what is the damp wet rag for?

[bonecrusher010]

Did it twice to the exact and it didn't work so fuck all you who it worked for

[ThePspSteve]

Fuck U!!!!!!! Didn't Work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chin73]

Well like I said it worked for me. Only lasted a week. But that was plenty of time to do a backup, so I would advise anyone doing it make sure you back it up ASAP after you get it working again.

[HermieNmaybeU]

I have a disk jammed in my ps3, and due to the YLOD, my ps3 won't stay on long enough for it to eject. Would your method damage the disk inside if I were to attempt it?

[donporoto]

@HermieNmaybeU You have to turn-off your PS3 with the back switch. Then stay pressed the eject button and turn-on the back switch. The PS3 will force the fans, and in that moment you can eject the disc normally.

[mojo84112]

Man this was the thing that i needed, thanks for posting this for the little guy and not trying to make a buck!

[chin73]

Worked for me. Backed it up straight away and it's still working.

If it happens again can I try this quick fix for a second time?

[CezerLeon]

Can't heat it with the HD

[Qrazey]

It definitely works. Worked for me but was only able to stay up for another 10 minutes. Then it went back to YLOD.

[20000423]

Oh it worked on the 3rd time! Yay!!!

Now it has to hang on for 2 hours for the data transfer...

[Samhain085]

Holy shit, you're godsend. I didn't think it would work, but it actually did. I'll like subscribe and whatnot, you're the bee knees man. 

[FrNaKMvP]

My dad doubted me... but I managed to fix it by doing this. Thank you man, you're a beast.

[FrNaKMvP]

Now it's cooling, please god let this work....

[chumbara100]

Holy fuck, just do it... this could be a 1 minute video.

[blackninja937]

just did it hope it works crossing my fingers

[jenxmagician]

should we take out the hard drive after or before blow drying it?

then when do we put it back on?

[Enxo04]

letting it cool now hopefully it works :)

[slashgamer100]

if this works i will tell every1 to subscribe

[stevesonic00]

This works perfectly! I followed all the steps exactly, great job! :)

[17xDillz1997]

anyone!!! reply. how long did oyu do this and did you do it this long

[MrSTOPSTARIN]

I cant actually take out my harddrive coz the screw is all deformed and a screwdriver wont fit in it properly. But all i want to do is fix it and sell it for a slim. But will it affect the console?

[terminator2u4]

@MrSTOPSTARIN it should not harm anything .

[sqooky]

I did this but didn't use a box, just blocked up the exhaust vents with a pair of jeans. It worked fine. Thanks mate.

[avlonitis96]

[Gay1Guy]

[KrAzYkUrLz100]

how many times are you able to do this fix until it stops working

[kevinbautista64]

THANK YOU MY BROTHER IT WORKED

[peoplewearsocks1]

[TakumiFuji01]

I hope this works! I've been trying it like 3 times and somehow it didn't work out weirdly.

My PS3 is a NTSC-U/C 60GB Version. I don't wanna let go of this one since it's my favorite(PS1 and PS2 Backwards Compatibility ftw and the SD and Mem stick slots)

[1995yamaharider]

[buffalosoldier96]

-Terminator2u4

[spoonieDub]

if its works then ill definitely subscribe...without hesitation lol

[bclown510]

It worked!!! Thank you so much!!! My PS3 had been sitting under my bed for months. I tried a few things to fix it but had no luck. I followed your video and it worked like a charm. This is so awesome!!! I subscribed!!!

[diamondcpw]

nothin!



[ohdeano]

Fat PS3 RLOD'd on NYE:-( Followed instructions (fan, hairdryer) but used my PS3 box instead. Worked perfectly! You can see the plastic vents have bobbled slightly, but nothing major. I only needed PS3 to work long enough to data transfer to a new slim I bought yesterday anyway, which It did and it still works. Its now in the loft taking a well earned rest!

Thumbs up and suscribe from me. Thanks.

[GAMECITYLEGEND]

I have no idea why I'm watching this. I have a slim, and my PS3 YLOD'd about 2 years ago.

[wiIlybobo]

Hey, PLEASE reply. I did this and now when I try to turn it on it just keeps blinking red. It doesn't go yellow, green, or anything. Just red. Do you know what the problem is?

[mrkerterable]

@wiIlybobo it means its overheated you forgot to cool it down with fan

[wiIlybobo]

@mrkerterable Yeah but its still doing that? And I did this like 4 days ago. I did cool it down with a fan. Its been blinking red for 4 days.

[mrkerterable]

@wiIlybobo well you need to send it in to repair from what im reading on playstation support

[coldblood610]

nvm about the question i watched your vid again and you said i could

[coldblood610]

Terminator i was wondering if i could just put my ps3 in my fridge becuase i can't find a fan atm

[LiTolMan278]

@terminator2u4 yooooo i need help plis reply ....my ps3 isnt like dead dead but when i am playing suddenly it turns off and I get the yellow light and it is like clicking .... then i turn on the ps3 again and it works just fine , But it keeps happening ,, I wanted to ask you if this would work with me pliss reply

[carby212]

@LiTolMan278 Dude stop using it and get a new PS3 and data transfer. If you don\t it will eventually not turn on at all.

[Numero4cinco]
