All PS3 Trophies

i think you should force it out. But... wtf is up with all these YLODs?!?!?!?! Seriously man. It seems like its mostly happening to the people from UK and who were playing MW2..

I agree with Ratchet. Though it is happening to people for the US as well. So that narrows it down to the game itself as the major cause. How many hours are you guys playing this game? Maybe want to pick a different game for christmas r23drummer. this game was overhyped as it was. get U2 or AC2 as people playing those games don't  have any system errors as MW2 players do.

Totally, get AC2 for sure, I never had any problems with it...people complain that there trophies are glitched but I guess it's just luck of the draw because mines perfect.

So I was playing MW2 tonight, just unlocked the AK-47, killing some n00bs then my PS3 crashed. At first I thought the electricity flicked on and off so I went to turn it on and it dawned on me. Yellow light of bloody death. MW2 is still in there so should I force eject it, Knoxie what did you do?

Does anybody have any idea is it the HDD or the actual Playstation?

i got it 2 a few days ago i feel ur pain lol. i had tekken 6 stuck inside the way i got it out was to have the ps3 off at the back switch hold eject for 15secs keep a hold of it then hit the switch at the back then hit the power button at the front and wen it comes on it shud stay on just long enough to get ur disc out thats the only method that i managed to get to work although my ps3 was loud as hell it sounded like a jumbo jet taking off wen i was doing it

yep mine flashes red as well its basically the motherboard has been fried due to overheating theres videos on youtube of how to fix it basically you need to take ur ps3 apart and use a heat gun on the cpu and gpu on the motherboard to get the data to flow again there are step by step instructions on how to do it although u might just want to buy a new 1 or phone sony and pay there stupid amount of £128 to get it fixed if ur out of warrenty

What i don't understand, is how a PS3 could crash due to a game.. Interesting. 

But in pretty much every case i have seen, it has been MW2 inside the system. 

KingOfGames - No one used to ever complain about there PS3 getting the YLOD, but recently, there has been a lot if it going on. 

If anyone can find out any info please post it! I'm gonna see if i can find anything. 

Coll - im not blaming the game at all, i just said i find it weird how it can be a single game affecting this YLOD.

I think it is just that the systems are overheating, and people just so happen to be playing MW2 at the time, as it seems to be popular at the moment. 

Redbren - i know it is a HDD failure issue, but im not sure if it is just the HDD or a combination of the HDD and the system.  Did you have a different HDD in there, or the stock one? Maybe that could be an issue...

i personally believe its everybody replacing their HDD's lol you buy a console to play games, not take it apart and change it people! theyre not meant to be taken apart.. if you want more memory buy an external HDD so you dont f**k your ps3 up.. its not rocket science.. externals are USB and same price, if not less  be smart, not sorry

BigWoop – that link looks pretty risky.. don't know if i would try that.. But it does sound like it would work. 

I've read a few responses from people who have done this and made it work… however, before you ever do such a thing, make sure you know the entirety of what is involved in the process.  Having some knowledge in basic electronics is almost necessary.  Make sure you ground yourself before touching any components (or you'll short them!), and have an extremely clean work environment.  In no way do I actually recommend doing this over sending it in for repairs, but if you absolutely cannot afford a professional repair, it is an alternative solution that you take at your own risk.  That said, I'd do it, but I've taken a few electronics courses through college and played with enough computer hardware to know I'm not going to damage things any further.
