I had read that thing in this same thread. I think Mani was asking the same thing and someone replied him that yes, slims also get ylod.

My ps3 is the slim 250gb, I don't go in the details and all so I have no idea if it suffers from the ylod. Though the serial is (CECH-2101B)

Can anyone kindly tell me the details for this one and how to maneuver the chances to get ylod? I'd be glad :)

If it starts beeping ( beeps 3 times ) and shuts down, that is the emergency shutdown, happens often and isn't a specifically alarming thing.

Playstation 3 ylod

Salam to all,

This is my 1st post on this website. I like this website a lot.
A few weeks ago I purchased a 2nd hand 60 GB PAL PS3 with cfw 3.55 running all games from hardisk. I checked the system for 2 days it run very fine with no problem. Then after few days my games start freezing and ps3 automatically shutting down. And then i got the yellow light of death. I took it to the Imperial market of Sadar Rawalpindi. He gave me my system back running fine again. But yesterday i opened the ps3 upper cover to clean the dust and when i put the cover back to ps3, started the system, system did not show xmb nothing visible and constant red light and then it shutdown. From then again ylod every time i switched on.
Can somebody explain it to me what happened. I am sure the repairing was just thermal paste replacement or reflowing and not reballing.

I am from Wah Cantt.
Please help me...

Take it back for getting it repaired, and next time, don't act like a technical expert and try to maintain/fix/repair it on your own.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
