Not at all, if you fix it right. To actually fix it you have to remove the Harddrive and you just leave the motherboard. The only problem is if sony "accidentally" resets it if you send it in to them.
Many parts are still usable after YLOD and there are sites that repair YLOD for $99 if you have not done something trying to repair it yourself
Fixing the YLOD on the PS3 will cost $150.00.

PS3 Slim Seems to be the same kinda, PS3 60g gets alot of YLOD's, ( Yellow Light Of Deaths).
keep your ps3 vents always clean and well maintained. Keep ps3 out of closed spaces so it wouldnt overheat.
To be honest .. Idk .. I had the YLOD on my ps3 because my sister charged her iPod over nice and then I send it to Sony to fix nd then I had an iPod touch and I want to play music then later It happen again with the YLOD ..
No you cant!.
NO, I don't think the YLOD is ever a harddrive problem from what I have read so that is not a solution worth trying. There are a number of sites that discuss it and also YouTube videos.

everything except the motherboard. I hope that you are aware that you can fix ylod your self by taking ps3 apart since you want to sell it anyway. And once you get to mother board you just resolder the cpu created soldering bridge or bridges and make it work again.
Yes Most games that were out then did work, but not without errors and other problems for some of the games. The next batch of models had even more problems and these were the first models in Europe see related link Before you think of running out to purchase the early PS3 model remember that they have no warranty and if sent to Sony for repair they will be replaced with a newer model if they can not be refurbished. A big word of caution the YLOD can and is routinely fixed. The fix will allow the PS3 to work for only a few months until the "Fix" is needed to be done again. see PS3 secrets related link for more on this quote: "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)."

Mostly because the game you are playing is very fast paced and takes up alot of power to run smooth from ps3. To avoid YLOD always keep your cooling vents clean and well maintained. Keep ps3 out of closed spaces so it wouldnt overheat make sure its cool leave it by a window or something it will stop then.
