Send it to Sony straight away cos if you don't they will ask why you waited so long and they wont give you a new one and make sure the game is out of the system when you turn it off cos it will be stuck in the system forever and all your saved data will be gone ( You will know if the ps3 system has overheated because you Will get a red-yellow flashing light )

What causes the PS3 not to work?

It wont work because it overheats. Otherwise, its because the system is full of dust on the inside :D x


What is the process of the ps3 ylod?

will make it quick and simple. Ps3 overheats sometimes because its running fast and people dont clean the vents or store ps3 in closet or closed spaces where it overheats. When it overheats it melts the solder on the mother board which solders 2 different companants into single via solder bridge. Solution ?! you can pay ps3 people like 120$ to fix it for you but sometimes they send you brand new one and you loose your hard drive with all the saves. Better Solution ?! Do it your self all you need is a philips screw driver take ps3 apart and get to mother board you need soldering gun to unsolder that soldering bridge and it will work just fine. Step by step guidance is provided all over the web on youtube ect.


What is the yellow light of death?

The yellow light of death is when a solid yellow LED light shows up on your PS3. It is extremely rare for this to happen, but if it does there are ways to fix it, if you Google it. This will only happen if your PlayStation 3 overheats or the hard drive fails. If it overheats, it automatically will shut it's self off. But that usually doesn't happen because it comes equipped with a cooling system.


How long can you leave a PS3 on before it overheats?

a few hours, but dont risk it... u dont wanna wreck your ps3 theyre 2 kewl for that The new Slim PS3 are very slow to overheat because of some of the changes to the hardware, but the never had a failure rate that would limit play to only a few hours. Sony would have to replace every machine under warranty that had failed. A link to the Wikipedia on the PS3 has been added under related links.
