Can Someone Please Explain the Yellow Light

Hey, I started my ps3 yesterday morning after five minutes my ps3 turned off. The green light suddenly turned yellow. After this I left my ps3 off for a few hours, then when i restarted it the standby light(red light) turned green once i pressed it for about 5 seconds then it turned yellow again and it was flashing yellow. After a few flashes it turned back red. Does anyone know why exactly I got this error. It could not have been from over heating as my ps3 was barely on for 5 or 10 minutes. Lucky I bought an extended warranty which expires in about a month so I took my ps3 in to bestbuy. By the way its the original fat 60 gig ps3. Thanks for the help.

Another question is that is this error fixable or will they end up giving me a new machine?

It looks like the YLOD. :(Since you have warranty you might get a new one

Dude the same thing happened to my ps3 after playing only 5 minutes too. It sucks because i dont have a warranty so im trading my fat one for a slim.

Were you able to get the game stuck inside out of the system? I had my copy of cod stuck, I told bestbuy about it.

It was another one.... but not to worry cuz you can redownload (free) everything you bought from the PS Store just go to your downloads list in there.
