I just recently got the YLOD while playing Uncharted 3. The disk is still stuck in the PS3 and I don't know how to get it out. I tried that Fan Test but that doesn't seem to work. It's an 80gb PS3 that came bundled with Motorstorm. I got it about 5 years ago. Anyone know how to get it out?

Yellow light of death, similar to the Xbox 360's red ring of death. When your PS3 has the yellow light instead of the green one when you turn it on, it means it doesn't work or something. :P
