I can imagine someone with a SONY SUCKS signboard walking in circles in front of Sony Wings

OF you remember which email you use to login to PSN

proof that.

my proof? YLOD is a problem waaay before 3.00

from 31st august until now

my ps2 (v4 fatty) still alive until now

yes yes

YLOD is a GENERAL error.

It may be cause by
1)hardware
2)software

As simple as that. People has been complaining about firmwares since forever.
where were you that time?

Maybe because Liverpool lost last nite, thats why..

plz login psn kthanxbai

now I put a full fledged Panasonic standing fan, beside by standing PS3 to blow the air thru its vents. Awesome result

by its side, make sure the fan blows air by the system's vents.

EXACTLY, if its on hyperdrive mode, but the air is normal, nothing to worry about. but even if its in normal mode but the air is hot, then prepare.

Kalau kau nak bunuh PS3 kau, buat la gitu. itu bukan fan test, itu sebenarnya force eject method. tgk dlm youtube kalau tak caya. mmg jahanam la kalo selalu buat.

even hit using aircond

and can u pls posting here and there about it? here is enough la. its freaking annoying

so bro, your ps3 ok already?

like i said, its like mending a punctured tire. its a never ending story.

am getting a MY Slim. next time, i can send directly to sony.

itu la pasal

this is my personal take on this whole fiaso, YLOD, can happen to anyone. Just like AIDS.

its a general hardware error, where the system flashes a generic error and not indicating

the real cause of the error. So far, the most popular reason is the mobo needs to be reheated

so the solders can be rejointed etc. Harddissk boot failure too, is one of the reason.And lets

not rule out the error cause by KO'ed power supply. Very2 general. I have read in various forums,

those people who sent their machines to Sony*read, Sony, the makers of Playstation brand* will 80%

received a refurbished unit. Some of them do receive the same unit. That shows that, even Sony, rules

out the possibility to repair that 80% of the machines. And these people know the machine inside out.

Send refurbished machines to customers, extend the warranty and viola, happy customers.

The only catch here is some of those people send machines with BC feature, and as we all know, Sony

does not produce machines with BC feature now. I leave that to their business strategy team to brainstorm.

In short, even Sony does not repair YLOD 100%. I believe, they only repair those they can repair (aside from overheating prob)

exactly, my ps2 is still serivng me well, after 7 years. bought her in 2002. I only changed the lens. other than that, the thing runs as it was running 7 years ago.

the thing is, Sony was aiming to lower down production cost. Then , this initiative from them also carries issues like cheap parts, cheap labor, etc. Its one heck of a machine, but, what good is a Ferrari when driven with Proton brakes?
