How to fix the PS3's Yellow Light of Death

March 27, 2009 in News comments 14

Though the Xbox 360 has a pretty high number of failures in its history, the PS3, as it were, is not immune either.

For those encountering the "Yellow Light of Death", some forum-goers at Maxconsole have come up with a fix. Check the pdf file at the source -- though you must be a registered member (groan) to do so.

    The yellow light of death is a hard drive failure. All you have to do is

    a. reformate if your lucky
    b. buy a new hard drive.
