Looking to see if anyone knows any reliable place that works on PS3s. I have a fat PS3 with YLOD issue. Worked fine one day, went a while without using it then went to turn on and now it just turns off with a beep and a yellow light and then flashing red light. I'd rather get it repaired than replace it as I love the my backwards compatible ps3. but if that is not an option if anyone wants to purchase it for parts or fix yourself i can sell it then try to get another BC ps3 though they seem to be getting more expensive.

Might check for video game stores near you. I have a store near me that does repairs, plus there is a video game vendor at a thrift store I visit that also does repairs.

There is only one place near me and i'm friends with the owner, but they don't do repairs outside of minor battery replacements.

The store I go to locally does major repair work. Not sure if it would be worth it for you with shipping both ways but I could ask them about it.

Sure if you could find out that would be great.

Called this morning and unfortunately no. Something about they can't guarantee the work would last long enough unlike most other consoles. :(

Alrighty! Thanks for asking. I may just have to sell it for parts or something and try to get another down the road.
