WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS BELOW!
Hey, I just had this problem, and I was able to fix it. I was told I had to pay $150 for a repair, and they will just give you a refurb and it will eventually do the same thing. It is similar to the towel trick for the xbox 360. So here it goes.
1.READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE STARTING:
2.You need to take everything out of your playstation 3 BOX, (foam, plastic, etc...).
3.Put your playstation in FACING DOWN so that the back vents ARE FACING UP AT YOU.
4.Take a hair dryer and turn it on HIGH, (I had mine running at 125 volts).
5.Keep the hair dryer blowing into the back vents for 15 minutes, taking a 1-2 minute break every 5 min
6.just go BACK AND FORTH( Really important) across the back vents. and keep the blow dryer about 4 to 5 inches AWAY FROM PS3
7.After that, put it in front of a fan or A/C vent,fridge,or fan for about 40 minutes, or until it is cooled off.
8.Then plug it in, and it should work. and keep it on top of a damp wet rag
9. If It worked SUBSCRIBE! IT HELPS! Or just watch more of my videos! There Cool. Its the least you can do after me fixing your ps3!
The reason you do it in the box, is that it traps the heat in the system. What you are doing is creating a conventional oven inside the system.
Why does this work???
Because of current laws, electronics are now made with lead-free solder. It is poor quality and is vulnerable to cracks, and once there is a crack, you get the yellow light. When you use the blow dryer on it, it gets so hot inside you actually melt the solder and when it cools it hardens back up with no cracks. I was mad when they told me they couldn't do anything but make me pay $150. This was an easy fix.
P.S. Be safe, and write back to me to let me know if this works.
ps3 is 7 years old and I just got the yellow light of death, fuck!
Mine was...uhh....8 or 9 years and I got a new one but it was for my brother..;-;
i fix MY PS3 now !! like new better than before :) you must open it and clean it and replace Thermal paste i put (zp heatsink compounds) AND WORK LIKE CHARM !!
thats the reason i have a CFW i can see how hot it is
lol same.. but im trying to fix it on another ps3 so i can jailbreak it then sell it to my buddy
CCAPI........
Great video! I started cracking up laughing at 3:02 when you picked up your hair dryer and called it your ps3
Ahaga just looked back over that
Even more ironic it’s been 8 years now and I bet the hairdryers lasted longer than the ps3
Same
"Fix it and then sell it to Gamestop"
...
..
Just in time for it to break again
Even if it doesn't work for me you still got my subscription just from your intro. The way you started off with factual info and precautions told me off the rip you are a legit dude. It will not work for everyone and that's what people must hold on to before they try to say you gave out false info. Salute to you bro keep up the good work. I'm about to try this right now, if it works I'll brb here to holla at you 😂. 💯💪🏾
*opens fridge* ....THAT'S IT, WHO ATE MY PS3?!
i fix MY PS3 now !! like new better than before :) you must open it and clean it and replace Thermal paste i put (zp heatsink compounds) AND WORK LIKE CHARM !!
DON'T THROW IN FRIDGE!!! IT WILL CONDENSATE AND WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL AND COMPLETELY RUIN IT OR SET FIRE!
I had the red blinking light. I can't believe this worked but it did. My kids are so happy and so am I. I only had the red light blinking and not the YLOD and I'm still not sure what the problem was. I couldn't get the thing to work during days, so thank you so much!
i wanna say befor you start you put the hairdryer down and lock off the camera, then when you come back, after blowdrying the ps, and say your done with drying the ps, your hairdryer is in exactly the same position, and i mean exactly, wow
Ok, I started taking my PS3 apart just to retrieve MLB The Show that I just bought a week ago because of YLOD and it had my game hostage and I needed some info from the clip I watched yesterday and I came across your video and I tried it and it worked OM goodness you actually saved the day and I appreciate your video and by the way I am 46 yo gamer. Thanks my brother.
Hey it worked the 2nd time i did it, thanks bro.
No it never
Cameron Boyce cannon

Ryan Webster it worked thanks awesome!!!!
Wow! My PS3 has been brought back to life! Not sure for how long, though. Well done and thank you sir. You've earned yourself a like and a subscribe.
Good job on actually cutting the video out instead on putting your hand over he camera for a few seconds
Is because he didn't do anything, just put the hand on the camera and say it's done
This isn't fake. I just fixed my PS3 doing this same exact thing, thank you very much for the video!
Please don't do this. This is terrible advice. Generally, YLOD happens because the solder that connects the GPU to the motherboard goes bad. The connections break.
This method "works" because it remelts the solder and allows to reform a very temporary bond with the moptherboard. It also exposes the internal components of your PS3 to very dangerous levels of heat which is very bad for it. If you do this enough you WILL fry your GPU. Guaranteed. It may happen the first time or the 10th time. But it will happen and make it more expensive to fix. It needs to be reballed by someone with the proper equipment.
Also, rigging something to work long enough to sell it is completely sleazy.Don't be a dirtbag.
Can I just re solder it?
You can, but you need specialized equipment. It's called reballing. You need to heat the chip to a specific temerture, lift it from the board, take the old solder off it, clean it, attach new solder balls to the chip, clean the pads on the motherboard and then put the chip back on the motherboard. It takes about an hour.
If you search youtube for PS3 reball you can see how it's done. Honestly, it's much cheaper to buy a new PS3 or pay someone to reball it than it is to buy all the necessary equipment
DAVID veilleux okay man thanks a bunch
DAVID veilleux thank you for making this clear to everyone. I just clicked on the video for the laughs.
Finally someone with a decent advice. It might be in the top ghetto / pointless video ever done on YT. And for the clueless clown that made this, is this really where you live? Geez... I wouldn't show that on video at all.
i must say mate you hust saved me some $$$ you shal be my first sub. good work man
just happened to me im going to be a smart guy and replace thermal paste
Make a video on how to do that? I might have to do this.
Did everything you said to do but used my ps3 box and the hair dryer for 20 mins with only 2x2min breaks.It actually works your a legend thanks for saving me a small fortune bud.Just hope i have a job the next time it decides to go dead so i can buy me the slim jim one.Will subscribe coz i like you now:)
look at 4:49 and at 4:53 the position of the hair dresser is the same,FAKE
hair dryer
yeh he waited a hole 4 seconds and started again... wtf!!!
I bought a PS3 2 days ago for $20 off LetGo with no power cord, took a gamble and got the red light of death. Tried this trick, however I only did about 5 minutes with the hairdryer and towel on top and shazam, it turned on! Don't know how long it'll last but for $20 I'll take it!
dude u just put ur hand on the screen and off! I know this because of the cam it makes a noise and I didn't hear a pause in it pfft
Sebastian Graal yeah and the hair drier was in the exact same spot too
Suicidal Duck it didn't work for me
It worked!!! Thank you so much!!! My PS3 had been sitting under my bed for months. I tried a few things to fix it but had no luck. I followed your video and it worked like a charm. This is so awesome!!! I subscribed!!!
Thank You so much It worked LIKE
Whoa, props to you mate. I didn't think this would work but it did. Just to make others aware it depends on the quality of your hairdryer. If you know it's high quality hold it a bit further back so your PS doesnt melt
I just smacked itt
Bryan _703 lmao
Did it work 😭😂
Dude, this actually worked! I was not expecting it to work either. I followed all the instructions dried for 18 minutes. I did use a salon quality blowdryer which maybe helped a bit, I have a little over two feet of hair so I own a nice one. But yeah before you call it quits at least try this solution!
Lol..he never even proved that it was flawed in the first place. I say fake! Also your current editing skills still need a lot of work! I can only imagine your first video was even worse considering u stated you got better. Lol
Funny thing is this genuinely works
I tried this reluctantly and to my my surprise it worked!!!!! Well done mate keep up the good work. Follow his clear step by step process and you get results
Easier method:
1) Throw PS3 into hell
2) Buy Xbox 360
3) Enjoy!
shut up
***** Glad to be of service pal.
Screw off
Pascal M. Me gusta
Pascal M. then why are you here
Fat PS3 RLOD'd on NYE:-( Followed instructions (fan, hairdryer) but used my PS3 box instead. Worked perfectly! You can see the plastic vents have bobbled slightly, but nothing major. I only needed PS3 to work long enough to data transfer to a new slim I bought yesterday anyway, which It did and it still works. Its now in the loft taking a well earned rest!
Thumbs up and suscribe from me. Thanks.
IT WORKED! You are the man! Subscribed! I am transferring my data too my new PS3 now, I hope it stays on long enough!
YESS bro thank you so much BEFOR this my ps3 was just in my room collecting dust but thank you so much now its working
WOW. Had my doubts but this actually worked! Wrapped my PS3 in a towel, blow dried it for about 5 min. It got super hot. Set it outside in the cold. 30 min later hooked it up and it started. It did the thing where it said it wasn't shut off properly, but then started up fine. Let's see how long this lasts.
Anyways, thanks Lanier.
I try it twice and worked. Although went thru a painful process on fixing the HDMI recognizing, but it work great ty buddy. Now need to get a cooling fan.
Wow, it worked. It felt like medieval magic when I just sat there for 15 minutes, blowing hot air into a box, but it worked. You are great.
Did it today without the box for 16 minutes and put it in the freezer for 45 minutes and it worked. Thanks.
Brilliant video. Worked perfectly (second attempt) on my PS3. Now I can finally back up those game saves and play some BF3 Armored Kill while I save up some pennies for a new PS3. :)
Liked and Subscribed, least I can do for such a very detailed and well described step by step guide.
Holy hell. It actually worked. I have an old BC 80g from launch that YLOD with my gamefly disc inside. No idea how long it'll last, but I at least got my disc out. Will try and play one of my own games tonight.
I cant believe it! I did that then put it in the freezer for 30-40 minutes and let it sit for a while after that. Probably another 15 minutes and it actually worked! Like a champ!!!
I don't know what issues all these other people were having, but you, sir. You have given our PS3 back to us. Blessings upon your house. You are amazing.
I literally just tried this and I really hope it works
my gta 5 game got stuck. Tried what's shown on the video and it worked.Used the hair dryer for 15 min and let it cool down for over an hour. Got the game out and the system is working now. thanks alot
it's the same that's stuck now in my ps3, I just used it after several large updates then shutoff the system and after a day it won't work.. I guess it's the root of my problem.
Smash it off the wall, see if that works!
You can get it out by holding the eject button while flipping the on switch
Worked on my second attempt. I wasn't sure how hot the PS3 was supposed to get, for anyone wondering the same as I was, make it so hot that you can only hold your finger on it for a couple seconds. I also used the hairdryer on cold for 15 minutes then put it in the fridge for 40 minutes, if anyone needs an alternative for a fan! Thanks a lot for this!
2 years ago I tried to fix my PS3 watching your first YLOD fix vid. It didn't work. Now today I tried it again following this video and it works perfectly :D ( I did it without a box )
Thanks man, you saved my PS3! I was able to get it back up and running and made sure I backed up all my save files. Don't know how long it will run, but at least I'm ready for when it dies again. Thanks!
I absolutely LOVE YOU man .. works absolutely perfect ! Before you, I opened all console, I used this method on every chip but didn't work . And now, after you, it's working. All done . Thx a lot man !
Thank you, it fixed mine. I used a towel instead of a box to hold in the heat, and then refrigerated it for an hour.
Omg man listen to this, I swear to God I just watched your video. At first I was like. Hahh yea right. I have 2 ps3. My fat boy has had the yellow light for 2 years and a half and I just figured I might as well try it and I SWEAR it actually worked. Thanks thanks thanks so much Wooooo. U don't know how happy I got when it worked. Thanks a million
The first YLOD I received lasted about 10 minutes. The current YLOD I have hasn't returned to its normal state for over 2 weeks. Time to try your method. Wish me luck :D
It worked on my ps3!! Hopefully it last a few months I'm gonna just get the slim but none the less it worked! Thanks man
thanks so much dude! really!!! if some people were you they'd think "oh wow i just discovered an easy solution that costs $0 that no one probably knows so i won't share it and keep it to myself while others spend $150 to fix their ps3"
About to try it everybody saying it works if it does thanks bro i already subscribed and liked haha
This works. Lasted about 10 minutes for me. Will use a proper fix (heat gun etc), but this is great, Thanks a ton!
Just did this and it actually works! Much appreciated bro.....I will subscribe.
omfg it actually WORKED no Lie... but i did replace the Thermal Paste first but that didnt work so i just held my ps3 on my lap and used the blow drier for like 10 mins then i let it cool and it turned on! lol its been sitting in my room since 2012 and i got it on November 11 2006!!
Dry or cracked solder points. From what I recall, Sony decided to use lead-free solder (as did Microsoft in their 360s; Red ring of death is caused by this as well) and it's caused no end of trouble.
It definitely works. Worked for me but was only able to stay up for another 10 minutes. Then it went back to YLOD.
Worked for me!! Thanks man.I subed and liked!
I bought a ps3 fat 60gb with ylod, for 20bucks and fixed it with this tutorial..thank you man!
thank you so much ive had my PS3 broken for a year and a half now i can play again great video.
alright anyone who thinks this some scam its not i just tried it it works! i love you man your a legend! keep up the vids bro!
Man this was the thing that i needed, thanks for posting this for the little guy and not trying to make a buck!
Thank you very much. My PS3 is working now. It's has been 2 long years.
so maybe the hair dryer is actualy blowing the dust off certain ares from inside of the ps3..which might be causing the initial problem..so maybe another option would be an air spray can (compressed air) mostly used to clean electronics anyway..
Thank you for helping me save my ps3. It worked like a charm!
My dad doubted me... but I managed to fix it by doing this. Thank you man, you're a beast.
Its been 10 years u still hopping on bo2 w me?
I did it yesterday and it worked for me! thanks!!! already subscribed
@HermieNmaybeU You have to turn-off your PS3 with the back switch. Then stay pressed the eject button and turn-on the back switch. The PS3 will force the fans, and in that moment you can eject the disc normally.
It worked for a year! Thank You for your help!
Great video! I did exactly what your days to do and it freaking WORKED! Thanks!!!! I'm playing Black Ops 2 RIGHT NOW!!!!
in return, liked, subbed
My black ops 2 didnt even work, and now my ps3 is dead. Right after playing bo1 zombies with my sister.... im sad now
It did work thank you my ps3 was doing this for a hole year now i fix it
Thank you!!! Man!! I only took 20 min for hair dry then it finally work!!!!!
This worked! I tried it first using 5 minutes on/1 minute rest. No love. Then I used the hairdrier for 20 consecutive minutes. Let the unit rest for an hour or so.... Bingo. Thanks!
It works great! I just set my blow dryer on each vent for a few minutes at a time and than let it cool down.
Cheers Lanier just tried it and it worked perfectly
Nice one. Thought my station was gonner but used the hair dryer for 17 min and fan for 30 and bobs yer uncle. Back up and running again. May not work for everyone but it certainly did for me.
Worked for me ! We will see how long it goes.. thanks man
Showing some love, as this fix worked for me.
Your method worked for me, thanks!
I hope it work for enough time to save money for a slim.
since i told some guys on your comment how to do it quick easy and short i subcribed
Holy shit, you're godsend. I didn't think it would work, but it actually did. I'll like subscribe and whatnot, you're the bee knees man.
Just tried it and it worked! Thanks!
dude this worked so well for me, so happy!
It worked! Thanks bro, subscribed.
You can get a disk out of the non-slim consoles, also may have to be an 80GB model (Im not sure). Turn it off via the switch on the back, hold the power button on the front and then flick the switch on the back back on. This will start the fan test, while the fan is running press the eject button. (So I don't get haters and such, I know this works as I used this technique on my 80GB console, when it got the YLOD)
May work for the slim, but i dont know how to start the fan test.
i tried this and it totally worked thanks for showin me how!
This actually worked! 10 minutes in, lets see how long it lasts!
The YLOD is a common fault with the Piano shaped Playstation 3's. You might as well either try to sell it (if it still works) or throw it away (if it has the YLOD) because there's no permanent fix for this problem. You have to buy a Playstation 3 Slim or Super Slim as Sony have built the newer models a lot better! The exact same thing goes with the Xbox 360's aswell.
This worked for me so I want to give a big thank you! I have a question/idea though. I noticed that the PS3 had to be upside-down for this fix to work and am wondering, would using your PS3 in the upside-down way i.e. playing games with the console upside down, help the PS3 from returning to a YLOD state? Or even on it's side??
dats crazy it worked 4 me didnt have da money to let sony fix it.so thanks bra so far a month and still works.
I've just tried it. Well see will it work. One tip for everyone who will try to do it-take out at least your HDD, temp over 60-70* may destroy it.
I just tried this and it actually worked out perfect, don't know how long it will last but it did turn on. Instead of putting a fan on it I just left it in the fridge for 30 minutes and plugged it up its work n fine for know
Thanks bro! had to do it 2 times but it worked!
Thanks so much, it worked. i know it wont last long but at least i got some saves and a little more life outta it
I like the list of people's hairdryer that you can borrow that you gave.
Yeah, don't doubt this. It actually works.
If you want to recover your lost data, I'd recommend doing this for about 15 mins, then is has to cool completely. What it's doing is fixing the soldering problems inside. This fix is temporary tho, because mine went back out after about 20 mins. Enough time to get ur data tho.
And no, I didn't watch the video, I'm just posting this :P lawl
It was a pretty boring process, but hey, It was a great video, and now my PS3 is working! .. for now.
Oh my god it works I would never believed it
Had the yellow light of death I believe my son turned off without it calling down
Works perfectly now///????
You might want to throw in that it would be a great idea for you to remove hdd + blueray drives before the whole process to avoid any further unwanted damage, and just replace after its cooled
OMFG THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH IT WORKED FOR ME IN UNDER 5 MINUTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well like I said it worked for me. Only lasted a week. But that was plenty of time to do a backup, so I would advise anyone doing it make sure you back it up ASAP after you get it working again.
