The Yellow Light of Death and the Red Ring of Death occur when the systems are subjected to repeated heating and cooling cycles. The factory built cooling mechanisms do not sufficiently cool the system, thus system chips are subjected to continued heating and cooling extremes which excessively stress the solder joints between the Graphic Processors (GPU) and the motherboard. These joints will develop fractures that create a disconnect between the GPU and the motherboard – resulting in the PS3 faulting with a Yellow Light of Death error.

If your console is within the warranty period than you can call the Sony Customer Service Line and explain the issue. If Sony determines that it is covered under warranty than they will send you a refurbished PS3 after you have shipped your defective unit to them with the proper shipping and insurance. The process will take 3 to 6 weeks. (Note: You will loose all of your game settings, no exceptions - there is also no extension of your warranty)

If your PlayStation 3 is no longer covered by Sony"s warranty than you still have the option to send the PS3 to Sony for repair. The repair will cost $150 + the cost of shipping and insurance. In return they will repair the unit and provide a 3 month warranty. The process takes 3 to 6 weeks. (Note: You will loose all of your game settings, no exceptions)
