As many of you might know already, the PS3 sufferers from a similar problem to the Xbox 360’s RROD (red ring of death) which is called YLOD (yellow light of death). The YLOD is a fault caused by two factors, first being the lead free solder used in all modern machines such as these is very brittle and is prone to cracking after long periods of being exposed to heat. The second cause is the heat itself, the longer the console is used and possibly exposed to higher temperatures can lead to the YLOD fault which is where the solder underneath the GPU cracks and so the GPU is no longer making a connection to the motherboard. This fault if the console is out of warranty can be a costly repair and not all consoles can be repaired.
