okay i'm sure the YLOD striked but it dosen't seem to be fatal to my ps3 yet.For the past 1 month, occasionally thenotorious (green - 3 beeps - red blinking) symptom will happen when im booting up my ps3...and other days itwas just fine. I've seen the yellow light flashed yesterday and the day before when booting up, but after resetting everything is fine. I was playing yakuza 4 for 6 hours straight last nite and i don't see any problem (having heard ylod strikes in the middle of gaming to my friend). After i was done playing, i off and on my ps3 to test for ylod...nothing happens. This morning was fine too...whats the problem????

just tried turning on again...YLOD!!! but works fine again after i off and on again, now downloading crysis 2 demo. Weird....hopefully it's able to hold till my next paycheck.

Ok, my 3yro 40gb phat is showing symptom of the notorious ylod. For the past 1 month plus or so when i switches on my ps3, it will occasionally beep 2 or 3 times before red light keeps flashing.I would have to switch it off and on again before it gets kicking again,but at other times, it worked just fine. But to my horror yesterday, i saw a fast flash of yellow blink after the green lightbefore it turns blinking red againwhen i switched on my ps3. I switched it off panickly and tried to turn it on againbut luckily it runs normally without any problems. From there, i played yakuza 4 for straight 5 hrs.

Btw, after my 5 hours of gaming, i did a test again to see if my ps3 is working andit turns out fine. I want to know from u guys how long more can my ps3 last before it dies off?
