What is the yellow light of death?
The yellow light of death is when a solid yellow LED light shows up on your PS3. It is extremely rare for this to happen, but if it does there are ways to fix it, if you Google it. This will only happen if your PlayStation 3 overheats or the hard drive fails. If it overheats, it automatically will shut it's self off. But that usually doesn't happen because it comes equipped with a cooling system.
