Thanks for the replies.

Sony are not budging so I'll scrap it I think. Would need to get the warranty with a refurbished one so for one year that would bring it up to £188. Was going to get uncharted 2 so might go for the 250gb option with uncharted on play.com for £269 and put it down to bad luck. Took really good care of the machine and dusted it regularly. Wasn't even on for that long - 30 mins maybe. No technical issues before and it was very quiet.

Does anyone know if the old 60gb hard drive would fit into a slim to retrieve saved files. Also I was playing infamous at the time. Is there any way of rescuing the disk from the broken machine?

Thanks again.

Do a fantest, when I had the YLOD the Fan test got my Uncharted disc out..

 

search youtube vids how to do it as I don't know how a 60GB model works
