What Causes PS3 Yellow Light of Death and How to Fix it?


 
Computers

The known YLOD in PS3 or in other words, the yellow light of death were already experienced by countless PS3 owners. Others also call it the blinking red light and also the red light of death because the green light after switching the PS3 on will become yellow, and later will be red and keep on blinking. If something like this happens, it could be that the console is having some major technical trouble. This has been caused by two primary factors which were outlined by people who have been professionals with making use of the console.

Malfunction in the PS3's Hardware

The motherboard ha been attached with chipsets or GPU with the use of solders. It has a tendency to overheat when the PS3 has been functioning for a very long time. Due to the heat, it's likely for the solders to liquefy. They'll just return to their solid state once the PS3 is shut off. This melting and re-solidification of the solders leads to the hardware to break off from the motherboard. And this will lead to yellow light of death most of the time.

There is not Enough Supply of Power

Capacitors or diodes cannot resist too much heat, which is the reason why they not work properly in hot temperatures. This will decrease overall power supply, which can cause hardware to stop functioning. Nonetheless PS3 blinking red light is not that likely to take place due to this issue. Taking into consideration the negative impact of overheating to the console, every PS3 owner is advised to make sure that their console is well ventilated while being used.

Identifying the reason for PS3 YLOD

There are ways to find out whether a faulty power supply or a broken internal hardware is causing the YLOD. Upon turning the console on, make an effort to listen to the sound of the fan inside. Just before turning on the console, make certain that is has cool downed already for you to have a precise evaluation. When the switched on PS3 didn't make any sound of a turning fan, then the cause is therefore faulty power source. On the reverse side, when the fan ran but just stopped after a couple of minutes, then the cause is a malfunctioning motherboard.

What to do Once YLOD Showed Up

Nearly all PS3 owners will instantly call the repair and maintenance employees of SONY or simply get a brand new one when they see the light. Then again, purchasing a new PS3 would definitely cost a lot. And PS3 YLOD repair from Sony is costly as well, considering the charges necessary to ship your PS3 and labor to carry out the servicing. The repair will take really long; it takes about 3 weeks in average but 6 weeks for a more intensive repair. If money is not an issue, then choosing either of these solutions is an excellent option.

Then again, fixing the console can be done by the owners themselves. This is a sensible choice for people who favor keeping their old console instead of shelling out thousands for professional servicing or investing in a another one. When it's repaired correctly, the PS3 YLOD repair will only take two hours from your time. There is a repair guide available for download, which was made by a PS3 repairmen suitable even to people who are not technical professionals. This step-by-step guide is easy to follow mainly because instructions are accompanied by pictures. Through this, time, effort, and money would be saved and the yellow light of death will quickly be restored.

You're certainly not alone whenever in case you need help with PS3 Ylod Fix. There are a lot of things available to be of assistance. The on-line world carries a large range of resources that you can count on with. You can consider ps3repair-guides.com when it comes to this.
