REMAKE | FIX PS3 YELLOW LIGHT WITHOUT OPENING PS3!

WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS BELOW!

Hey, I just had this problem, and I was able to fix it. I was told I had to pay $150 for a repair, and they will just give you a refurb and it will eventually do the same thing. It is similar to the towel trick for the xbox 360. So here it goes.

1.READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE STARTING:

2.You need to take everything out of your playstation 3 BOX, (foam, plastic, etc...).

3.Put your playstation in FACING DOWN so that the back vents ARE FACING UP AT YOU.

4.Take a hair dryer and turn it on HIGH, (I had mine running at 125 volts).

5.Keep the hair dryer blowing into the back vents for 15 minutes, taking a 1-2 minute break every 5 min

6.just go BACK AND FORTH( Really important) across the back vents. and keep the blow dryer about 4 to 5 inches AWAY FROM PS3

7.After that, put it in front of a fan or A/C vent,fridge,or fan for about 40 minutes, or until it is cooled off.

8.Then plug it in, and it should work. and keep it on top of a damp wet rag

9. If It worked SUBSCRIBE! IT HELPS! Or just watch more of my videos! There Cool. Its the least you can do after me fixing your ps3!


The reason you do it in the box, is that it traps the heat in the system. What you are doing is creating a conventional oven inside the system.




Why does this work???



Because of current laws, electronics are now made with lead-free solder. It is poor quality and is vulnerable to cracks, and once there is a crack, you get the yellow light. When you use the blow dryer on it, it gets so hot inside you actually melt the solder and when it cools it hardens back up with no cracks. I was mad when they told me they couldn't do anything but make me pay $150. This was an easy fix.



P.S. Be safe, and write back to me to let me know if this works.

[BorisGerard]

did u get ripped or something?/ yr voice got deeper!

[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.

[xMistaNinja]

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

[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
