The Yellow Light of Death (referred to as YLOD) is a major hardware failure of the PS3. It’s rumored to affect mainly the 60GB versions of the PS3. Sony has not to my knowledge released any official information regarding the YLOD, but there is an [url=http://boardsus.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-3-General/Unofficial-Yellow-Light-of-Death-YLOD-Informative-Still-Thread-R/m-p/40726489]Unofficial YLOD Information Thread[/url] on the Playstation forums. Refer to that thread for all of your YLOD background and repair information.
