Yellow Light Of Death Fix

Learning how to fix a ps3 can be done fairly easily. The yellow light of death fix is probably one of the easiest or most widely known problems with a PS3.

To get started, you will want to make sure that you have already gone through the basic troubleshooting procedures that most sites explain.

First, you’ll want to check that all cables are tight and secure. Then restart you PS3.

If that doesn’t work, you will want to unplug the power and open the ps3 case and check the harddrive connections. Sometimes the harddrive cables can become unplugged from movement or jostling of the ps3. Once you have attempted each of those steps without success you will want to move on to the more advance (yet easy) fixes.

[UPDATE: ]

I had initially listed the steps I used and had learned for fixing my own yellow light of death fix .  I had provide a how to fix a ps3 link to this repair guide that was put together, but it made more sense just to link everything right there instead of worrying about missing a step or something else.

The guide found on this site was the exact guide I used to fix my own YLOD error and also a friends Red Blinking Light issues on his PS3.  The guide was a pretty straight forward step by step plan for even a non-techie like myself to use. I admit, I was a bit nervous doing this at first, but if I can do, anyone can. I can barely change batteries in a flashlight, LOL.

Be sure to read through all the steps in this yellow light of death fix guide found here and post your comments on your success.
