The good thing is I already have most of my saves backed up. Everything but one unsynced trophy :P which i got yesterday playing Fallout when it happened.

But how would i deactivate the YLOD PS3? I believe it's 5 account activations right?

Everything but your locked saves. I've lost those twice on two separate PS3s over the past 4 years. My last attempt to do a console to console transfer failed when the broken PS3 simply refused to stay alive long enough to complete the process.

For a broken PS3, the only way to deactivate it is remotely. Either through an SCE service rep, or...

Easiest way to manage accounts and deactivate systems through your PSN ID.

 

EDIT: Looks like you still need to do this via PS3 hardware. So, try SCE service.
