I did the YLOD fix a while back...didn't work  got a defunct ps3 sitting in the back of my closet now... Really seems like a waste... How much can I get for the parts? Not gonna pay $150 for repair...doesn't make sense.

what is the YLOD?
the board? overheated cpu/gpu? laser?
My friend bought a new ps3 to replace his YLOD'd fat boy, but wants the saved games. I didnt dare initialize the drive on windows, in risk of losing the booter, but my ps3 wouldnt read it because of how old his old firmware was.

When this happened to my PS3 I didn't bother with the YLOD repair that was available through craigslist because I figured it would just get messed up again. I ended up selling mine to some guy for $160, put in another $140 and bought the new slim model when it just came out. I told him exactly what was wrong and he still bought it. Apparently the 60 gb models are worth a bit more due to true backwards capability, which didn't really matter to me.

yeah a working BC PS3 is worth about 300-350, YLOD is a pretty simple/reliable fix so...

if you guys use some random guys and not sony to fix it. it will void your manufacturer warranty which means sony wont fix it in the future if the guys that fixed it in the first place fucked up. this happened to a friend of mine.
i recently got a YLOD too due to the god damn electrical house fuse keep tripping out. short circuited my PS3 cuz I left it on standby mode. Surge protector didnt do squat. FFFFFFUUUUU

If it's under warranty - send it in! But if not, who gives a shit about voiding an expired warranty? Sony is also known for accepting out of warranty repair work on items with no seal.

I may not agree if this was 2007 but there aren't many left that spend their gaming time on PS2 titles.
BC PS3's are just ticking bombs for YLOD...even the gutted FAT PS3 (80gb/160gb) are more reliable

Yeah the Fat BC 60GB was the "hottest" of the PS3's, unless you've got shitty ventilation (which will kill any console eventually) the 60GB is about the only one that can YLOD.
I think it's more of a convenience thing, when I fire up an old N64 game on rare occasion I have to lug everything out and set it up. So if someone likes to play the odd PS2 game (especially if their PS2 broke) then this is quite convenient.
