The same applies to the 3 Red Lights on Xbox 360. Another reason that can cause 3 Red Lights is a power surge. In this case the console will not turn on until you unplug the power cord from the outlet and reconnect it back after a few seconds.

The yellow light CAN kill your PS3.
The CPU (Cell) and the GPU (RSX) of your console may get unattached from the motherboard (because the solder balls are melted due to heat). If this happens, you will get a permanent Yellow Light of Death.
This is the same reason that cause 3 Red Lights, E73 and E74 errors on Xbox 360.
Sometimes, however, the error can be caused by the HDD, the power supply (internal in PS3) or just a random malfunction. In the last case you can just restart the PS3.

@Donman331 That's a bullshit lie.
I had the first batch of 360's to hit the market & mine got RRoD 4 times within 9 months. I sold it after I got it back to GameStop. Used that money to buy a car & got a new generation 360.

Does the power flip trick work no matter what? I.E. yellow lines are not the result of physical failure that must be fixed through invasive means as in xbox?
