Well, it looks like my old PS3 I got shortly after their release has gone to the dark side; that is, a yellow light flashes whenever I try to tearn it on Problem is, I have very little knowledge on what the YLoD actually DOES, and how it can be fixed. I'm not sure if I had any sort of warranties, but I could find out if I dug through some files. Also, my copy of LBP was in there! *ultra-angry-face* Will I lose all of my stuff in LBP? Will I go to level 1 in Modern Warfare 2? I'd love it if someone could help explain this to me. Your sad friend, HB

Your processor overheated and burnt itself out, no fix, but your data should be ok. B. Your hard drive died and your data is cooked, but your ps3 is ok. Or, um.. Both. :/

You can't turn on the PS3 anymore, though all data is still there. I heard you can turn the PS3 into Sony and they'll try to fix it, but if they can't... well, then yer on yer own:/

You'll lose what you've unlocked and haven't publuished, sadly... Unless you happen to have a backup... Your MW2 level's fine. It saves to your PSN account. I've heard people say that you could fix it, but SONY fixing it would probably have a better chance of working... I dunno... Hope you get it fixed though. (It took me so long to type this, and I got mega sniped.)

"OK HB (though I said my real name, of course ), you've got way to many levels. You are now going to FINISH and PUBLISH something!". And I actually planned on doing it. Now, I lost my attempts at Epic Leap 2 and however many other countless hours I put into the other levels At least I've got my few good published levels and my MW2 online account. *attempt-at-a-smile*

If you have a heat gun, the right screwdrivers and some thermal paste you can fix it by following a video guide on youtube. Dude, take your hard drive out and try it in some one elses ps3... Do not give advice when you do not know the consequences. Putting it in someone elses PS3 will cause the hard drive to be formated and the data will be lost.
