Not sure if anyone has had problems with ps3 but il ask anyway , turns green, yellow and then flashes red... Anyone any experience or know of symptoms like this....

My god you really are hard work, why did you post that in this forum? how about off topic?

Yellow light of death, bin it and go and get a PS4 next week. That's the best advice you will get. Topic closed!

Cause there might be done computer wizz kids ... I couldn't care if it works, but il probably have to buy new 1 for the youngen

IIRC it's normally caused by the solder joints on the processor breaking down,
Needs reballing so better off binning it and getting a new one.

You can fix it... Hair dryer or heat gun on the PCB!

That's a temporary fix at best.

It's a shame as was hardly used . Ps4 even in shops yet

 

[ChrisElectrical88]

They hit them about this time next week. It will be worth the money for the peace!

 

[telectrix]

We had problem this morning telectrix, full supermarket shut down, power off, so I ran up and pumped the handle and switched back on, happened again 5 mins later and then realised dials only set to .4 of full load.

Try Team Xecuter (have a google), there's a few scottish guys on there who repair consoles and have a decent rep from reball to reflowing.

Not worth wasting the money when even those 2 methods are only Short term fixes, that's why most Console repair shops only offer 3 month Warranty on them .

Best bet would be to Check a 2nd hand shop like Cash Generator which had an old Fat model PS3 in it a few weeks back for 40 quid or buy a PS4 on Friday

3month warranty for £85, didn't fancy it myself . Still got lego batman init or it would be skipped.
