my launch PS3 isn't in good condition either
it doesn't have the YLOD, but it freezes (often with green artifacts) after 30minutes-2hours of playtime on any game or disc
I guess in my case the RSX overheats. I've opened it once (the PS3 is out of waranty, obviously), but to get to the processors/heatsinks/fan seems to be very tricky, so I might be better off just selling it like this.
