If your PS3 has unexpectedly died on you, there is a pretty good chance that it has caught the infamous PlayStation 3 YLOD! Since you probably like to play your PS3 you are probably wondering what you can do to fix it and get back to playing your game.
The sad news is that if you want Sony to repair your PS3 your going to have to pay them $150 and wait 6 weeks for them to repair it.
The other option is to simply buy a new PlayStation.
But the thing is, most of us don't have that kind of money to dish out to Sony.
The good news is that there is another option: Buy an online DIY PlayStation 3 YLOD repair guide! There are actually tons of guides out there that show you how to easily and permanently fix the YLOD in under an hour.
These guides usually cost around $37 (pretty good when you consider the $150 for repair from Sony) and they are usually downloadable from the internet so you can access them instantly after purchase (a lot better than waiting 6 weeks for repair from Sony:P ) The only problem with buying one of these guides is that a lot of the PlayStation 3 YLOD repair guides out there are just scams that take your money and then give you a crappy guide that won't get your PS3 fixed and might even make matters worse.
So make sure you find one that looks trustworthy and offers a refund policy.
