You could send it to sony but they charge £150 and you have to wait up to 6 weeks to get it back, you could download guides of the internet or by them on eBay but there is not that many.
I think the best option is watch it on you tube, the best one to watch is Gilksy.

Can a ps2 game work on the first ps3?
Yes Most games that were out then did work, but not without errors and other problems for some of the games. The next batch of models had even more problems and these were the first models in Europe see related link Before you think of running out to purchase the early PS3 model remember that they have no warranty and if sent to Sony for repair they will be replaced with a newer model if they can not be refurbished. A big word of caution the YLOD can and is routinely fixed. The fix will allow the PS3 to work for only a few months until the "Fix" is needed to be done again. see PS3 secrets related link for more on this quote: "However, if your PS3 has already had the YLOD, then you can reflow your motherboard every few months to keep it working (but it is not a permanent fix as the YLOD usually comes back)."
If a ps3 has ylod does just replacing the hard drive fix it or could if be a problem with the system itself?
NO, I don't think the YLOD is ever a harddrive problem from what I have read so that is not a solution worth trying. There are a number of sites that discuss it and also YouTube videos. You have the YLOD The problem is hardware failure internally What you need is a PS3 REPAIR GUIDE http://www.ps3problemsgone.info Imagine the solution to all your Console errors in one downloadable ebook. There quick easy to use and you will be back up and running in no time. Or you can send it off to the manufacturer sony for $150 if no longer in warranty Happy to help
What is Ylod?
Basically the PS3 YLOD is a hardware fault on the motherboard, sony claim that there is no single reason behind yellow light of death but as a rule this is due to the cheap solder that sony use. When your PlayStation has been on for prolonged periods of time it will reach high temperatures causing the solder on the motherboard to melt, as it cools (when you turn it off) it cracks causing a faulty connection. The term YLOD stands for yellow light of death, after this has happened to your PlayStation any attempt to turn it on will result in it beeping and flashing from green to yellow and finally flashing red. - i can fix it, don't send it into sony. it cost to much and sometimes doesnt even work. Text me 440.773.7797 ill do it for cheapor or free.
How does PS3 get ylod?
The answer from what is YLOD has been added to this question in it's entirety.

Can the ps3 slim get the yellow light of death?
It can break and get the Yellow light of death symptoms , but not from the problems associated with the below described that resulted from overheating and causing the solder to become crackedThe "Yellow Light of Death" or YLOD is the common phrase people use to describe the following sequence when they try to turn on their PS3:Press Power ButtonRed Light Flashes Three TimesYellow Light FlashesGreen Light FlashesBeeps Three TimesRed Light FlashesThe sequence above may vary a bit but you do see the flashing yellow light (sometimes shows up as orange) that normally you would not see when operating your PS3. The YLOD is a general hardware fault that can mean a lot of things. However, one of the problems is cracked solder that leads the PS3 to think one of its internal chips is not connected or is broken somehow. Cracked solder can happen when the chips get too hot (RSX most likely) and leads the motherboard to start bending, which may crack the solder. Changing the power supply (lower the average wattage going to the chips to lower the heat) (PS3 Slim has lower power levels already)and better thermal compound (heat dissipates faster to the heatsink) may prevent this error from occurring. However, if your PS3 has already had the YLOD, then you can reflow your motherboard every few months to keep it working (but it is not a permanent fix as the YLOD usually comes back). Great and best reason to not purchase used PS2 compatible PS3 with 4 USB Ports
How much does it cost to fix the yellow light on a PS3?

Does your ps3 data lost after repair from ylod?
Not at all, if you fix it right. To actually fix it you have to remove the Harddrive and you just leave the motherboard. The only problem is if sony "accidentally" resets it if you send it in to them.

Many parts are still usable after YLOD and there are sites that repair YLOD for $99 if you have not done something trying to repair it yourself
What parts of a ylod ps3 can be sold?
everything except the motherboard. I hope that you are aware that you can fix ylod your self by taking ps3 apart since you want to sell it anyway. And once you get to mother board you just resolder the cpu created soldering bridge or bridges and make it work again.
Does the YLOD affect the disc drive?
no YLOD has to do with main motherboard so it does not affect disc drive you might have the disk stuck in the consol which is normal.

Is there a free way to fix the PS3 ylod without opening the case- Ive seen a hairdryer thing but ylod is usually caused by overheating and I dont want to make it wose?
Even the fixes that can be done for YLOD are temporarily and have too be repeated every few months. There's a link or two about it at some sites that I put under the related links. A Hair dryer is for when you get something wet like a mobile phone or controller by spilling on it. Placing something in bag of rice is another method for drying water out of an electrical device.

What is wrong with your ps3 when the ylod appears?
main problem comes from overheating, and when ylod appears then ps3 is dead. But there is a way for you to fix ps3 ylod problem, it is easy and simple just go to www.PS3LightsFix.net although I've never read whats on this link (it's most likely the same thing as what i did), i replaced the thermal paste and it started working again for about 2 days, i probably applied to much, don't lose hope
