PS3 yellow light of death

Have you fallen victim to the PS3 yellow light of death? You aren't the only one, sadly hundreds of others have fallen to this same curse. Now what can you do about it?

PS3 Yellow Light - Your Options For a Fix

You basically have 2 options:

Send it to Sony for repairs.
- If choose this you'll be out about $150 (unless your PS3 is still under warranty),
- You will have to wait up to 6 weeks to have your PS3 back
- Sony will erase the hard drive contents

OR

Fix it yourself.

Fix it myself? Yeah right.

No, really, you can do this. All you need is a good repair guide. Good guides have step-by-step instructions, pictures and maybe even videos. Some of these guides allow you to retain the hard drive contents and have one hour fixes.

A word of caution- Opening the PS3 case voids your warranty. So for those who are still covered by the warranty, the best option may be to send it to Sony.

Benefits of using a repair guide

- Many good guides cost a lot less than sending your PS3 to Sony
- Fix PS3 yellow light much faster than sending to Sony. Some repairs can take as little as one hour
- Some guides cater to many problems that can happen with the PS3 so if you fix it, and another problem occurs later, you may be able to repair that problem also. Compare this to sending it to Sony multiple times and paying around $150 every time

If you are thinking of repairing your PS3 by yourself you MUST have a good repair guide otherwise you may be unable to repair it or even risk of damaging your PS3 further. A good guide will have step-by-step instructions, pictures and even videos. Keep this in mind when you are looking for a guide.
