I've fixed the yellow light of death

I'd like to thank that Sirjackalot guy on gamespot and the guy on youtube. I got a couple of questions though. My game is still stuck in my system. I open it up and it up and I can see it sticking out. Should I try to grab the disc? Should I take out the drive and unsrew it and take it out manully? Also how should I back up my data with a external hard drive or a flash drive or how does that work? I'm going leave my system off intill I get my stuff backed up.

Nevermind on the disc. The system spit it out.

Also how many GB would I need to save my data ?

How much data do you have?

It was a 80 gig. I believed I only had about 12 gigs left.

then i would say you need about 68 gigs :p

Couldn't I just take a flash drive though and back up each file indivisual ? Most of space is taken up with DLC where I can just download onto a new system.

It won't last long, chances are your PS3 will get it again, once it gets the YLOD, its prone to get it again. :?

You welcome my friend glad I was able to help!! But yea the first thing I would do is backup your data I didn't have any flash drives big enough so I went to walmart and got a cheap external hdd which I still use and is a great investment. I know I was browsing www.newegg.com and they had 1TB external harddrives for only 50 bucks!!!!!! thats a steal and they have free shipping. So check newegg.com for an external hdd for cheap and I would recommend one with atleast 200gb so you will get your money worth and can use for other things because they are good to have. That will make sure you have way more than enough space to back up all your data and then some. However if you can't wait just check your local walmart they should be fairly cheap there too.What you want to do also is just plug in your external harddrive that you are going to use and just find backup system on ur xmb. It will take about 2 hours to back up all your data this will even back up your psn games you downloaded. But some of your save files wont carry over depending on the game because some companies put blocks on games that won't allow save files to be used on systems they weren't originated on which is stupid. Again Glad I could help.
