Igot the YLOD on my 60gb and I fixed it using the oven method. After that I tired downloading 3.00 durring it froze at 61 percent and shut down. Now every time i turn it on it goes STRAIGHT to the downloading screen and attempts to install it, but it once agin freezes at 61% gives me an erro code message than shuts down. Please does anyone now of anything that might be wrong with it or how I can fix it without sending it in?

What is the oven method ?

And this YLOD, how common is it ?

Well is it even common, I have only heard of this in the past few weeks, I have never experienced any problems with my 60GB

the oven method is taking your ps3 apart putting the motherboard in the oven at 425f for 10 minutes. I dk the 60gbs I think are mostly getting the YLOD. Ive only heard of two people having this problem.

Hmm, well I would not have put a motherboard in the oven.

I thought the YLOD was caused by overheating ?

Look for PS3 secret menu in youtube

That might help better, it's like a technicians menu for TV's.

But for your PS3, try it and let me know how you do.
