Hi to every users of PS3. I'm one of the consumer who experience problem in YLOD. As this problem is getting more and more common to Phat PS3 and it also happened to quite an amount of Slim PS3 user. YLOD happened because PS3 running high graphics so it produce a lot of heat and the heat will cause crack in the soldering of the PS3. PS3 is using lead free soldering, compare lead and lead free, lead is much more better and I believe that YLOD problems will be lesser if using leaded soldering. Based on the research I made, I also found out that Sony apply thermal poorly in the RSX the graphic processor in the ps3 and using poor quality thermal as well. Besides that, the air ventilation or ps3 is not good enough that is also another reason that cause YLOD.

To prolong your PS3 lifespan
1. Make it stand vertically
2. If possible let it cool as much as possible. Example like play with open you air-conditional
3. Give your PS3 some space, especially behind. Don't let the PS3 blew the air straightly to the wall it might cause some air trap around outside PS3.
4. Maintain your PS3 after warranty. Example clean the inner part of PS3 from dust and if possible reapply thermal.

Hope these can help user increase some knowledge about the most critical problem of PS3 and guides to take care your PS3.

yup exactly somemore limited edtion... T_T

yeah they shuld do that...


That's why i'm doing this to show Sony.


will it be lesser chance to affect YLOD?

i dont think it can combine, coz both different, this 1 is to complain Sony about YLOD problems not the other problem, and that topic is to show what problem will occur on their PS3


yeah... exactly...

Yeah u can watch some slim ylod on youtube.

Exactly, thats y we as consumer shuld take action on them... This is consumer rights.

I totally agree that they cant fix the problem i bet there will be smtg happened on their NGP and their Xperia... If we juz leave it as it, the more problem will occur on the nxt generation consoles as nobody cares, and Sony take advantage on us as a consumer. They are taking advantage while we are taking the disadvantages.

thats what I'm planning to do and of course I need every consumer help as well, I cannot do this by myself.

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...

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...

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.

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

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.

yes there is chances to repair, but it is not permanently repaired.

some is replace and reheat the stuff inside

exactly tats y, if can be fixed permanently i dont blame on Sony, but it is juz temporary. U can say that ur PS3 is hurted adi

i not sure whether Sony charge the price for fix the problem or change the prob, i heard they said it still will come back even after they sent to Sony to fix it...

i understand wat u mean, but this is not because of their hardware powerful, is due to poor quality of the material, anyway there is a lot users who r the victims not only in Malaysia, foreign consumer also experience this, i did some research adi, so u can check out urself if u dont believe me. I also understand that some of the machine will experience some problem, but this happened to quite a lot ppl not seldom of them.

is good that u hav enugh funds to get 1, but i dont... tat is the sad case...

so sry bro not to offend u, but juz wanna share wit u. I always support sony all along, although it is pricy, but still I hope they fixed the problem for me and for everyone, and also for the better machine in the future.


exactly...

those r cheap stuff and seldom occur problems tats y they giv lifetime warranty.

yeah i agree wit tat... i think nowadays most of the electronics like television, even better performance gaming machine like computer can last longer than tat...i tell u seriously i dont mind if they made a computer look of playstation machine as long as it can last.

sure no problem ^^

tats great... take good care of it... dont end up like us.... T_T

coz there is no ppl cares, tat is also y sony ignore the problem and leave it as it...

ok sure will do so...

actually ps3 didn't care coz there is not much ppl complain to and nowadays ppl hav enugh money to get a new 1... but how bout those poor country, we can't think bout ourself we also nid 2 think for them. Might be small case for them but it is quite BIG for us as a counsumer. Yeah correct business is business, but business also nid 2 do stuff that satisfy the customer, example a restaurant tat serve food that are not nice and they charge expensive prices, would u still go back there? same thing to the sony, if they keep on like tat more and more ppl will stop get their products.


lol~ quite true, but let me ask u, can u play Metal Gear Sold on Wii? can u play Final Fantasy XIII or Wii? can u play those game that r in PS3 while Wii dont hav those game?

like wat he said...

yeah might be, but nowadays people juz ignore coz they don't 1 to cause trouble. Isn't? Don't u think so?

lol~ actually wii is quite good... it is suitable for all age.
