In this tutorial I will be giving you different tips on how to fix your PS3 when it overheats or gets the YLOD (Yellow Light Of Death)

1. Simply leave it off for a day or two then try turning it back on.

2. Unplug every cord from your Playstation. Get an ordinary hand towel and damp it with hot water. Place it over your PS3 unit and leave it there for 24 hours. After the day goes by, take it off and turn it on.

3. Check for any loose cables.

4. Take out the hard drive, then put it back in. You might want to do this a couple of times for best results.

5. Reinstall the System software. This can be helpful because the YLOD also occurs when your software is corrupted.

6. Lastly, send it back to Sony. If it is still under warranty, then you might want to exchange your old system for a new one.

If all else fails, tip #6 is your last resort. I hope this helped!
