Well, that blows. My PS3 officially YLoD'd. RIP buddy. Time to get it repaired and sold on ebay (MGS4 bundle) unless someone here wants to buy it off of me. My new PS3 should be in the mail soon.

Same thing hapened to my ps3, same model. He said that if you turn up the fan to max to prevent the build up of dust inside, YLOD won't happen again. He modded the fan and now it sounds like a vacuum cleaner.

My friend bought it off me for the cost of repairs ($45) and he's going to take it back to the guy, undo the fan mod, and install one of those external fans instead. Just an idea, to keep your current PS3 usable.
