P.S It was the YLOD right? A brief yellow light, 3 beeps and constant red light flashing?

Yup

But it might not have been caused by a motherboard failure which is what the hair dryer trick fixes

Thing is, I've heard that the hair dryer trick rarely works. Something along the lines that it doesn't get hot enough to melt the solder on the cpu and gpu or something like that. I had to wrap my motherboard in aluminium foil with cutouts for the cpu and gpu, get a heat gun and put it over 500+ degrees fahrenheit and then do circular motions on the cpu and gpu for about 1-2mins. 

But yeah, there are other causes to YLOD such as power supply failure or blu-ray driver failure(?).

If you can get a new ps3 for 99$, go ahead. I had already voided my warranty so that was why I took a leap of faith to try and get my game saves back.

Thats probably what Ill do but I think not performing some frankensteinish experiments on it first would be an insult to my ps3.
