@iceveiled Mine did exactly the same thing. YLOD, did the reflow solder thing with a heat gun. Worked for about 2 months then died. Sent it back, paid the flat fee and it worked for about a year. Now it does the 3 beeps/flashing red LED thing. Just got off the phone with Sony, they will exchange my original 60GB Fat for a 120GB Slim for $99.
I originally had the Yellow light of death, opened up my PS3 and reflowed the solder. While I had it taken apart I thoroughly dusted it out, I replaced the thermal pads, cleaned all the old thermal paste where it was applied and applied new thermal paste, it was basically like brand new aside from the solder reflowing. Worked for about 6 months with very minimal use (bought a slim so was mainly using that) and now it's doing this. They don't make them to last like they used to that's for sure.
Im from Ireland. Just letting everybody know that my Playstation 3 went like this 1 year ago. Just had to get it fixed so pissed off not having one. A shop called Tech Pros fixed mine for 60 euro. Hope this helps anybody else in a similar situation.
