The UK Watchdog programe did a series on the YLOD and I think demonstrated that in most cases you could reflow the solder but in all likelyhood this will be a temporary solution. Having said that I do not believe Sony have recognised the problem so you may have to fork out for a repair in which case depending on funds the desire to fund Sony more or some other moral scrupples you may want to try the advice in the You Tube video which is effectively the reflow technique.
Found the article which includes a snippet from the TV show. It was a little sensationalist as is the way with Watchdog but ultimately it sounds like your problem.
