What is the actual cause of the "yellow light of death"? the cell, gpu etc?

 

And to the people that lost game saves etc, couldn't you just remove the hard drive before getting it repaired?

I don't think the YLoD is related to any one specific item. Microsoft used the lights on the front of the system as debug lights. As far as I can tell, Sony didn't do the same other than yellow=broken.

As for harddrive. I believe you can take it out, but it won't work unless you use it on the same system. I'm not sure though.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
