Frequently asked questions

What causes the yellow light of death on a PS3?

Years of heat fatigue the solder under the GPU/CPU; reflow and fresh thermal paste restore the connections in many cases.

Is a YLOD repair permanent?

Reflow is a real fix, though we also renew cooling to reduce the heat stress that caused it; we set honest expectations up front.

Will my PS3 saves survive?

The repair targets the board and cooling, not the hard drive, so your saved data stays on the console.
