better backup your files first, just in case....
nowadays can backup/copy savedata even if you're not PS+ member....
all you need is ext HDD with FAT32 format.....  nod.gif

buy brand new Playstation 3 slim or super slim .. quickly transfer all data to the new PS3 using the Data Transfer Utility .. not worth to repair YLOD PS3
