Uh-oh, the dreaded Yellow Light of Death (YLOD)! It usually means there's a hardware failure, often related to overheating or soldering issues. Time to get that console repaired or break out the toolbox if you're feeling brave!

YLOD is pretty much the PS3's way of saying, 'I'm not feeling so hot.' It's often due to overheating and internal hardware issues. Consider professional repair or a replacement.
