Do any of you fine chaps know anyone who can fix the Yellow Light Of Death problem on a PS3 60gb please?
:lol: Thats the idea really…..but I think the machine needs stripping down and things doing to its innerds first, and I can’t do it.
I looked into that and because its a few months out of warantee they want £128.00 for a reconditioned one with only a three month guarantee…these systems are flawed and are prone to overheating which melts the solder around the processors.
I am in the process of buying the required equipment to have a go at fixing it and there is a full instructional set of videos on You Tube…if it works it will have cost me £20.00.
Theres a place in Bolton that ive used to fix me xbox 360 and they do the repairs. Youll find them on ebay something like console wizrd!
Theyll do the job!
Cheers Faz….I went ahead and did it myself in the end. I bought a heat gun off Ebay for a tenner, some heat sink paste for 2 snots and some alcohol to clean the old heat sink paste off for 2 dabs. I followed the You Tube instructions by a lad called Gilksy and it worked! :D
The only problem is once the system has Yloded (which I believe is the equivalent of the red ring of death on the Xbox) it will eventually overheat and melt the soldered joints around the processors again.
So I took it straight to Game and traded it in for a new Slim one, and took out the three year warrantee to cover any other problems Sony have brushed under the carpet. :roll:
