Archive: 42 posts
| I was playing cod 4 online when all of a sudden my ps3 turned off, i quickly glanced over to the light and sore it turn yellow, Now after that it started to flash the standby (red) colour. Then i switch it off at the back and ran on here, what should i do just leave it alone..? | 2009-02-05 11:21:00 Author: Thee-Flash  Posts: 3154 |
| I just switched it on again at the back and it has stopped flashing is it safe....? | 2009-02-05 11:34:00 Author: Thee-Flash Posts: 3154 |
| Might be ok might be dead I'd leave it for a few hours to make sure it's cooled down before trying anything. | 2009-02-05 12:01:00 Author: Rabid-Coot  Posts: 6728 |
| Leave it cool right down. Dont turn it on again till it is. Should be alright then. | 2009-02-05 12:31:00 Author: ryryryan  Posts: 3767 |
| Also make sure it's got plenty of ventilation space and vacuum the vents. If NZ is in the middle of the same heat wave as australia the increased background temperature will probably cause the system to overheat more rapidly. | 2009-02-05 12:53:00 Author: Rabid-Coot Posts: 6728 |
| I think you're on of the few that escaped the YLOD. | 2009-02-05 15:25:00 Author: oldage  Posts: 2824 |

| It honestly seems to me that Call of Duty 4 is the culprit. | 2009-02-06 00:14:00 Author: Whalio Cappuccino  Posts: 5250 |

| Is it me, or are all of these cases of the YLOD seem to start when someone is playing Grant Theft Auto 4 or Call of Duty 4? | 2009-02-06 04:14:00 Author: Arkei  Posts: 1432 |

Oh man that sucks!!!  **** Flash... what are you gunna do? I hope these YLOD don't start breaking even more PS3s.... If it becomes a thing like the PS2 breaking after like 2 years i WON'T be happy. | 2009-02-06 11:47:00 Author: ryryryan Posts: 3767 |
| It happens more then you would think. http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=ps3&thread.id=3629439 | 2009-02-06 15:46:00 Author: oldage Posts: 2824 |
| This is still just anecdotal evidence though. Oh and no games are causing this to happen. It's the hardware that breaks at some point, regardless the games you played. . | 2009-02-06 22:42:00 Author: RangerZero  Posts: 3901 |

You will be unable to recover any saved files from your dead console unless you backed up the hard drive. However, all PS Store downloads are available through the PS Store for re-download. Also, all PSN activity (friends list, online multiplayer stats, etc.) are saved on servers and will be automatically recovered once you receive your new PS3. i hope this works | 2009-02-06 23:46:00 Author: Thee-Flash Posts: 3154 |
| i hope this works You have no choice. This is gonna work because that's the way PSN work. You can download all your stuff in 5 different PS3s. As many times as you wish. And your stats and trophies, etc it's all on the servers too. | 2009-02-07 00:47:00 Author: RangerZero Posts: 3901 |

| How do i get my stuff back from the servers ..? Go to the store, go on the downloads part and redownload your stuff. Friends lists and trophies should sync up when you log in. | 2009-02-07 00:57:00 Author: Rabid-Coot Posts: 6728 |
