I had read that thing in this same thread. I think Mani was asking the same thing and someone replied him that yes, slims also get ylod.

My ps3 is the slim 250gb, I don't go in the details and all so I have no idea if it suffers from the ylod. Though the serial is (CECH-2101B)

Can anyone kindly tell me the details for this one and how to maneuver the chances to get ylod? I'd be glad :)

If it starts beeping ( beeps 3 times ) and shuts down, that is the emergency shutdown, happens often and isn't a specifically alarming thing.

Playstation 3 ylod

Salam to all,

This is my 1st post on this website. I like this website a lot.
A few weeks ago I purchased a 2nd hand 60 GB PAL PS3 with cfw 3.55 running all games from hardisk. I checked the system for 2 days it run very fine with no problem. Then after few days my games start freezing and ps3 automatically shutting down. And then i got the yellow light of death. I took it to the Imperial market of Sadar Rawalpindi. He gave me my system back running fine again. But yesterday i opened the ps3 upper cover to clean the dust and when i put the cover back to ps3, started the system, system did not show xmb nothing visible and constant red light and then it shutdown. From then again ylod every time i switched on.
Can somebody explain it to me what happened. I am sure the repairing was just thermal paste replacement or reflowing and not reballing.

I am from Wah Cantt.
Please help me...

Take it back for getting it repaired, and next time, don't act like a technical expert and try to maintain/fix/repair it on your own.

    lol. Nintendo games are literally for kids. But to burst some bubbles, I'd like to point out that there are numerous Nintendo emulators available for PC, including multiple Switch emulators. Game compatibility is also pretty good, with overrated games like " Super Mario Odyssey ", "Breath of the WIld" & "Xenoblade Chronicles 2" all being playable. Sour grapes are hard to swallow, i know... :sneaky:

    These misconceptions are downright hilarious. The best console games are made by Nintendo, and you get nothing from them on PC. And I laughed so hard at "better online experience". Literally the worst place to play any multiplayer game is PC. Cheater/hacker heaven of a platform :sick:

  • XPremiuM XPremiuM:
    PC gaming is literally at the peak of elitism right now. Literally all the best games from all the other platforms ends up on PC with better graphics/performance. The traditional PC advantages are also present (better performance/graphics on multi-platform games), better online experience, better game stores, best older games compatibility, emulator support, best mod support, best trainer support, and the list is endless. The console kids can point out at specific individual games & be like "but mah game is nawt availabul on yer platzformm", an i say " we really don't care". Nobody cares about a missing dish when you're at the buffet & can enjoy all the best dishes. :sneaky:
