( and this build is super glitchy ) After the third time I decided to stop playing Dust for fear of my PS3. My fears were correct as now it does it on other games too..
There are MULTIPLE threads about this in the bugs section of the forum, but I wanted to start a thread here because it's the most used section.
Just wanted to let people know before multiple PS3s die to this game.
Your PS3 is dying. Soon you'll get the YLOD (yellow light of death)
I suggest copying date to an external HD. If today was the first time it started, then you have some time...maybe. Mine lasted less than 2 months before I officially saw the yellow light. |

I took it to my local video game shop where a guy fixed it and everything has been good since. No changes in software or play time whatsoever. I dont have the YLOD, the game just shuts off, beeps, red light blinks, go to press to turn on, beeps again turns solid red, touch to turn on again and turns green and turns on as usual and goes to xmb. you will not get to the xmb with a ylod ever.
I'm telling you it's YLOD cuz I had this VERY problem a few months ago. Shuts off randomly and beeps a few times. Turn it back on, no problem. I guarantee you that you can play games on discs for a while but ANY game running off your HD will crash. Soon you won't be able to play disc based games either.
Your old PS3 is seeing its last days. |

I've been running a different game off my HDD for now going on 3 hours just outta curiosity, and I'm gonna let it go all night. It YLOD two years ago and i fixed it, and if it does it again ill do it again, its too close to ps4 for me to buy another ps3 without backwards compatibility =)
Yea mine died slowly. It first shut off randomly like months before I even took note. I thought it was some random thing. The it started to get more frequent, and soon I can't play games on HD without crashing.
From the start of symptoms, to it's death :( ... i would say it was 4-5 months. |
