there is a way to get out the disk without pulling the ps3 apart. 1) turn off ur ps3 from the switch on the back 2) hold the eject button 3) while holding down the eject button turn on the ps3 from the back (if this doesnt work try it again coz it doesnt always work the first time) 4) ur disk should just slide out like normal but ur ps3 will b making a very loud noise. CAUTION turn of the ps3 straight after u have taken out the disk coz the loud noise can make ur ps3 even worse. hope this helped

Ugh.. 4 days ago on sunday 1 p.m I get the light.. -.- 18 months and then bam wow. Im gonna try the blow dryer trick one more time... Total cost 132.68 This sucks.. Its not even a new one.. I lose all my status for single player games, especially the games that are meant for solo as in gta4 , sr2. i could care less about the solo cod series becuase u could beat those anydays. Just wow... Un fuckin real. HOpefully they just fix the one I send in, instead of another used one. I have a 80gb

@snkyaznchopstx There is nothing you can do. I've gotten it twice; once the system was standing, another time it was sitting. The first time it was after the system had been left on overnight (I was hosting a room in GRAW 2 and didn't want to close it), and the second time was when it had only been on for 10 minutes. The first time was in February in the morning, the second time was in November in the evening. I've concluded there is nothing you can do to prevent it.

@snkyaznchopstx You can sort of prevent it, keep it out in the open, not in a enclosed entertainment system, not on a floor with a rug, and If you can keep the temperature of the room your plaing in under 70 degrees. Just try to put it on a small end table infront of your T.V. Thats what mines on and i've had it since launch, its a 80GB aswell, with the 4 USB ports. :) hope it helps.

Hey sorry about your PS3, happened to me too, sucks that it happened right before a game came out. (Mine broke recently and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is about to come out! DAMN) But I have a question since you already sent one of your PS3s to Sony before, Do they allow you to remove your Hard Drive before you send in the PS3? Like so that you can keep your data?

@snkyaznchopstx You really shouldn't have to worry unless u play it allllllllll day like for more than 20 hours at one sitting. If you do this you will find that u get the ylod very soon. The YLOD means overheating so all you have to do is not play it alot.

I hate to say it, but I got you beat. I had the 60gb PS3 for a couple of years. Mine YLOD and I sent it to Sony earlier this month. They sent it back a week after I sent it to them. From that alone I could tell they didn't bother trying to repair it. I lost every save I had for the last 8 months... anyway, I hooked it up and after 5 1/2 - 6 days YLOD AGAIN! Right now I'm just waiting for the coffin(box) to send it back. I have also decided to buy the slim because of it. How is your referb doing?

Well I'll tell you one thing, if you do get it. Don't bother sending it into Sony they'll only tell what the problem was instead of even fixing it or not even looking for the problem at all, they'll just send you a newly refurbished one. The main cause for the YLOD is overheating. If you want to prepare for it, I suggest you remember your PSN password so that you can get your account back. If you can't remember it, you can call Sony and maybe they can help you.

The PS3 Slim does heat up a little more than the fat models but the cooling system on it is so much better. The fat model had 3 vents, one in the front, the back, and one on the right side of it. The slim only has one vent and it's located in the back of the system and is bigger than the vent you would find on the back of a ps3 fat. So this way with a bigger vent more heat gets out of the system. The fat model had a very poor vent and cooling system.

Thanks for replying. I am waiting for my slim to arrive. I just have one more question for you. I have been hearing conflicting reports that the slims heat up like crazy. Sony says they use less energy so they heat up less, but several people on YouTube say that its compact size heats up more and they fear it will break. Since you already have one, does your slim heat up less or more than your fat one? I don't know if I can handle another YOLD!!!

Aviator178 commented on 22 Aug 2010
@ROCKY98787 Yeah definitely, you don't want to send it into Sony because you have a rare chance of them fixing it. I sent mine in for $150 because my warranty was up, and they didn't fix it, well mainly because the motherboard was busted, and without a motherboard it's almost unrepairable and I'm not sure if it could've even been replaced. My best suggestion but I'm not too sure of it, would be to send your PS3 to the Geek Squad at Best Buy.

Yeah pretty much all 60 gigs and 80 gigs are dieing now, it's best to just go out and get a slim. My refurbished is fine thank you, but I got a slim instead, I keep my refurbished one stored in my closet cause I don't use it. I just figured why not have a second ps3 just incase if something happens to my slim which I highly doubt anything will happen, but still we won't know if slims will get the ylod for about a year or year in a half.

Christopher Inductivo commented on 04 Sep 2009
I think it's good that you will get an 80gig. but when you do, try to look for the ones with bc or the mgs4 bundle version. thats what I have, it has some hot air and a loud fan but it is the most reliable I believe. it has all the features (sd card slots, 4 usb ports, chrome, etc) i've had my ps3 for a year and the worst that 's happened is it froze 1 or 2 times. but after a restart it worked perfect :)

Aviator178 commented on 17 Dec 2009
It's most common with the 60 gigs. I highly recommend slims. I don't think slims do get the ylod, but we won't know that officially for about a year or year in a half or so. Because that's when most PS3's malfunction. In my opinion don't even buy the fat models because they all eventually die even the 80 gigs, I'm not sure about the the 160 gigs though.

@Aviator178 Yours lasted almost 3 years .. that is actually pretty good for a early 60Gb... well I hope you get the slim... I have the 80Gb model... I will not buy the slim until this one breaks.. which wont be for a long time... Imagine if you had a 360 .. you would have gone through 3 or 4 of them by now.. LOL

Aviator178 commented on 25 Aug 2009
I don't know what the cause probably was. I took very good care of this thing. Maybe overheating idk. But it is a first 60 GB model, that's probably the reason why it broke, cause almost all PS3's that get the ylod are 60 GB. I'll switch to an 80 gig if they don't fix it, cause they're more reliable.

Edsel Ector commented on 10 Dec 2009
Sony used a poor quality of thermal paste on your model, you will need to strip it downand replace the thermal paste so the cooling system can begin wicking away heat from the processors once again. (when th termal paste dries up completely the unit overheats causing yellow light of death)

I know it is good for a 60 gig. But heres something weird. One of my friends on PSN had an 80 gig at least less than a half of a year and he got the ylod just about a week or two ago, and yet mine outlasted his, weird huh. Oh and I've had the slim since the end of September and it rocks.

Aviator178 commented on 25 Aug 2009
Okay first of all, the PC had nothing to do with it, but that could be a good point. But if that was the cause, it would've broken earlier. I had this thing for 2 and a half years. Second the room temperature was low. And I don't think the calling me a fool was really necessary.

That is maybe caused by the power supply cause you played for a little time, that usually happens when people play for too many hours. I'm maybe wrong but it doesn't make sense if the system got over heated that fast
