actually ylod r not causes by update.

yeah i can c tat, tats y i'm doing it big...

says my a double s man...

My fat 60gb still work fine

lucky 4 u, even my fren fat ps3 white colour dunno how many gb bought earlier than me 1 year also working fine for now, while mine 160GB fat ps3 gone...

I support this thread, Sony needs to make improvements on PS3 and increase their efficiency!

bring it to /k/!

My 40gb is still working fine but the fan becomes very loud(like vacuum) after about 20 minutes..

im a hardcore gamer...
been playing my ps3 almost 24-7
since 6 month back
my room dun even have air cond
normal fan only
i put my slim ps3 vertically so it will have better cooling that put it horizontally

can u blame a car manufacturer if ur gearbox spoilt after u use 3-5 years?

out of 23 who voted, 5 are from slim users

this is bad,real bad.i thought slim is extremely rare to kena ylod?

yeah?well,tell that to sony....all they care is profit,but no quality.do we have any problems like this with the great ol' psONE?no i think....i have mine for 5 years,played it for 6-7 hours a day(was a kid back then,so play games until there's no tomorrow),and the only thing broke is the disc holder,which broke a little piece,but can still put in the cd,load it,and play it.no need of good ventilation or anything like that,just plug it into the tv and play.and the day that my ps1 died is bcos of the big floods in kedah in 2005,if not bcos of the floods,i bet it would still kick the ps3's ass lifespan

wanna compare ps1 tech with ps3 tech...

i dont want to compare the tech....i just want to compare the lifespan.why can't technology nowadays cant even pass 3 years....if more than that,something is surely go wrong.even the small things...like it wont read the disc la,got power supply problem,things like that

as in other words,all big companies today think like this---> more quantity,less quality

mine will juz become loud after I started game awhile...

i din use 3-5 years it juz around 2 years and i didn't play often as well, i juz played a lot during free times only well i dont hav a lot free times as well is juz like 2 days available in 1 week or less than tat...

no it still exist on slim, but i guess it shuld be less problem to slims..

yes i totally agree wit this i understand that ps3 have better hardwares compares to the old playstation 1 and playstation 2, but still they should do smtg that can last as long as the old 1, i didn't ask them for even longer than the old machine juz hope that it can last as long as b4. I can understand if it happened to SOME of them only, but it isn't it happened to A LOT USERS, u wouldn't understand if it didn't happened on u, once it happened to u, and u will straightly understand.

jz my 2 cents i feel this is jz another wasted effort....ps 3 had been released for 5 years now.if the complaint for ylod wasn't many enough we probably wouldn't even know bout it, and sony, if they really wan to solve the prob, they would've did it

anyway kudos ts for ur effort, hope u keep it up.something might jz work out of it

i think that consumer didn't put much effort on it, tats y i'm trying 2 make it big.

support u...........................
2 of my fren phat ps3 ylod.
1 of my fren slim 120GB ps3 ylod also

sony uses that thermal paste because the better ones contains lead. which is a no no for a toy. i was hit once. then i bought a new one. problem solved.

Yes,tis statistic figure is very bad.As someone mentioned juz now,my PS1 life span is much more better.In fact,it's still running after 13 years.I do not expect Sony to do any major improvement or wat,i juz wanted them to try and come up with some solutions.But they do not even bother.How sad.

i was in the same situation. got ylod on my fat ps3. bought a new slim ps3 with local warranty. learned a hard lesson that buying anything without local warranty will burn a hole in your wallet.

sony are too cheap too waste a few hundred or million dollars on funding to find the solution,that's why they didn't bother solve the problem....look at microsoft and thier RROD.they admit their mistake,solve it and now do you see any new xbox with RROD?no i think..

tqtq

u hav enugh financial to get a brand new 1, while others dont hav... but anyway good news to u...

I support Sony all the way starts from PS1, I hav PS1, PS2 and PSP and all working fine from the day I bought until now, juz slighty problem that I've overuse it, but still playable. PS3 everything working fine and in juz 1 day, poof unplayable.

I dont think so, c if u buy local warranty, maximum 1 year warranty, u send back to sony they giv back u a refurbish, if after warranty i heard someone on the net said u nid 2 pay $150 to fix it, i not sure wats the price for Malaysia. While 3rd party u can send to reballing it, means resoldering it, i heard this method is good, but expensive and I not sure this method hold for long.

yeah... they 1 profit wat.... I not sure bout it coz I didn't research much about RROD, but if reli slim doesnt hav RROD i think its time to complain PS3 and ask them to fix YLOD.
