Well like the topic says launch ps3's seem to melting down like crazy I really didn't pay it much attention until mine did. I had been looking at the ps3 board on this site and others noticing people haveing increasingly more problems with thier ps3's thinking and hopeing it wouldn't happen to me but it did [YLOD]. Now with that said I'm not saying that all of them are crashing or that they will, I'm just saying that mine did and there seem's to be a substantial amount of others. The good news is that there is a fix for some of them depending on what is wrong with your ps3, if it's because the soldering has become weak and separated from the board I highly recomend this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U70SgRDVcBo This fix works if you have the right tools and enough courage. I chose to link this video over the others because it has slightly better video quality
