QUOTE(spel'it @ Apr 25 2011, 05:11 PM) errr... play less? mine might not as bad as yours. it still can play gt5 and stuffs. the only problem is when u want to turn the ps3 on. yellow light will appear for 1 sec then it will turn red. turn on again same thing happen. so you turn off and on the main switch at the back. then it can be played.  well afterall it's a 2007 model. doesn't even have sd card reader on the front. this problem started when i had some plan to buy the slim version 2 weeks back. been reading and watching on how ppl try to fix this problem. some says that if YLOD appears, it will happen again even after it was being fixed. |

QUOTE(cloudstrifes @ Apr 25 2011, 05:59 PM) bagaimana manual? manual when u use the ps button on the controller, it won't work. and PS3 light turn red again. so you have to go to your ps3 and turn it on manually on the buttun near the disc feed area. i suspect that urs is the PSU problem(Power Supply), coz i did a lot research about it, most common case is the YLOD tat spoiled the GPU or processor and the 2nd common case of YLOD is bad Power Supply. U can juz take to someone change the power supply and ur PS3 will work as usual. no the SD card reader is the oldest model. 1st generation phat ps3 only hav tat, the new 1 dont hav it. yeah the PSN being hacked i heard. They r repairing the problems, i heard it is off for few days already. still the oldest model... any idea what kind of PSU i should use to replace it? please help. PS3 is the only thing that keep us happy in this country. |

QUOTE(cloudstrifes @ Apr 26 2011, 06:17 PM) urm... i not sure whether the psu is the same as cpu, but i juz did research to switch psu. i played gt5 5 hours non stop without any glitch last nite. so confirm it's not overheat or CPU. it's PSU upon starting up the consoleaiya lebih 1, seriously if ur ps3 spoil juz switch 1, or take outside repair, coz i heard even u take to sony, ur ps3 still will spoil in juz awhile. i heard b4, and i saw 1 at my service centre. I heard slim with YLOD is confirm spoil and unable to recover. Eitherway i plan to buy slim when i balik kampung this august. don't want to buy it here if possible |

QUOTE(spel'it @ Apr 26 2011, 06:35 PM) lol~ guess what? i just did a "surgery" on my PS3. please let us know the status after you put it back to life gonna reapply the compound and clean the system. no reflow coz i dun have temperature-controlled heat gun. i think something wrong with the fan. if confirm fan spoiled, it is time for mod. QUOTE(stanleyow @ Apr 26 2011, 06:47 PM) If you reapply compound without a heat-gun, sure cannot work 1, because I tested before. First time failed without a heatgun, 2nd time successful with heatgun. how much u buy that heatgun? what brand? care to share? |

QUOTE(spel'it @ Apr 28 2011, 02:57 PM) It is true. YLOD is the aftermath of overheating. I've been looking for 12/24VDC industrial grade fan/exhaust as part of my experiment for my dying PS3. All I can find is priced at >RM300. Will look for better & cheaper options. my old ps1 is still usable up until now I know in the end I still need to get a new PS3. Electronic components were not made to survive a lifetime.  |
