RIP 60 GB fat ps3. A strong five year run and many memories. 

Went peacfully while playing Disgaea. A series we had many joyful moments playing.

P.S. Is there anyway I can fix this ylod of death (even temporarily?)

Personally I think it was the combo marathon games of disgaea and dark souls that finally did it in.

I'm sorry man, i have a launch 60GB and I'm scared mine could die.. I'm upgrading to a slim sometime this year but i can't get rid of the 60GB because i would feel so bad for my parents who spent a bomb on it because i wanted it so much.. anyway...

im not sure how you can fix it, try google?



I know the pain of losing a close friend, since my PS3 went YLOD on me one night after playing Section 8 Prejudice. I usually let my PS3 idle after gaming before I go to bed, and let it turn itself off, because I heard it's good to let it cool down gradually after playing. I woke up the next morning to a blinking red light and subsequently, the dreaded YLOD.

I used the hairdryer trick to temporarily get it working so I could get my disc out. I don't condone this trick, because I think the potential to mess your PS3 up even more is high. Put your PS3 upside down in an enclosed space, with the back vents sticking out (basically, cover it so heat stays trapped in). Take a hairdryer and put it on its highest setting, then go back and forth around 2 inches from the back vents (I stayed away from the power adapter plug-in) for 15 minutes EXACTLY. The PS3 will be very hot after doing it, so be careful when handling it; put it someplace cool and let it sit there for like an hour or so. Once it cools down, plug it all in and check to see if it works. If it does, get your disc out and turn it off (if you want to back up some saves, do it quickly).

I did the above and it worked, but I didn't take any chances and shut it off after getting my disc out and backing up my saves. If you feel comfortable taking your PS3 apart, then do the heat gun method, which has a ton of videos on Youtube about it.

I did consider doing a thermal paste infusion so that I could revive it, but I'm not sure if its too late. May as well try since I cant break it any worse.
