Yellow
Light of Death
Lights blink, won't
start
Blinking red light,
yes red?
Won't start at all?
THE PROBLEM
When the RESET button is pressed, the Playstation
3 power lights progress from RED to GREEN (1.5 seconds)
to YELLOW (then a beep) to BLINKING RED. The system
does not turn on.
NOTE: If the green light stays on
for less than 1/2 second, you may have a defective
power supply.
THE
CAUSE
Old, dried-out heatsink paste must be removed
and replaced in order to allow the cooling system
to prevent YLOD.
After 3 years, many PS3s' heat sink
paste dries out because of the extreme heat generated
by the 2 main processors. The heat sink becomes unable
to properly cool the processors, causing overheating
and subsequent partial desoldering of the graphics
processing unit (GPU). The system will automatically
shut down, leaving you with nothing but blinking RED
LIGHTS.
PS3's RSX graphics processor with
fresh solder, prior to being reattached to the
motherboard at.
The PS3 is disassembled and completely
cleaned. The heat sink and processors are cleaned,
the GPU is removed, cleaned, freshly soldered (reballed)
and reconnected to the motherboard. Finally, the
heat sink and processors are re-pasted to prevent
future overheating (we recommend examining the heat
sink for paste breakdown every 2 years).

Have
Your YLOD Repaired Permanently
The REBALL process is without a
doubt the most reliable repair for the yellow light
of death. We have a nearly perfect record of permanent
repair for PS3s that have not been previously opened...
that's why we ask if your warranty label is intact.
We can write pages and pages about
the REBALL and REFLOW processes here, but you probably
just need the English version. Please call us at
your convenience - 615-859-5669

If you'd rather repair the YLOD
yourself, an alternative process called REFLOWING
is a great option. Reflowing is the process of heating
the RSX Graphics Processor to the point that the
cracked factory solder that connects it to the motherboard
melts, or reflows, thereby repairing the cracks.
With clear instructions from
The FixMyPlaystation PS3 Repair Guide,
do-it-yourself YLOD repair can be done at home in
less than an hour.
