    Is it the older fat model? They seem to be dropping like flies at the moment.

    I've heard re-flowing the motherboard can proove success if it is indeed a hardware issue. However, it may be an issue with the file system - perhaps looking into rebuilding this would be worth a look.

    Good news!

    I also have the older fat playstation but have noticed the number of ones with "Yellow Light of Death" is increasing quicker by the day!
