The overheating Yellow light of death problem is mainly the older Fat PS3 models with the higher power usage. The "Yellow Light of Death" or YLOD is a general hardware fault that can mean a lot of things. However, one of the problems is cracked solder that leads the PS3 to think one of its internal chips is not connected or is broken somehow. Cracked solder can happen when the chips get too hot (RSX most likely) and leads the motherboard to start bending, which may crack the solder. Changing the power supply (lower the average wattage going to the chips to lower the heat) and better thermal compound (heat dissipates faster to the heatsink) may prevent this error from occurring. However, if your PS3 has already had the YLOD, then you can reflow your motherboard every few months to keep it working (but it is not a permanent fix as the YLOD usually comes back).see related link
The above is an excellent reason to stick with the newest 320 GB PS3s with much lower power consumption and also a reason not to trust that a 60 or 80 GB PS2 compatible PS3 will continue to work and has not had one of the temporary fixes. They are all 4 years or more old and none are sold with the PS3 one year warranty

It may be good, but what you want is excellent or like new and it is not excellent or even close to like new. They do not have a year warranty because it would break before then in too many of the consoles. Temporary fixes for the yellow light of death are very easy to complete see related link

What yellow mean in a traffic light?
It's a cautionary light. A solid yellow light is an indication that the light is about to change to red. If you are unable to reasonably come to a stop before the intersection, you are expected to proceed. If you can come to a stop before reaching the intersection, you are expected to stop in anticipation of the red light.
