The slim PS3 YLOD failure rate thread.

[Timeless-Enigma]

Like most of you, i want to know how the PS3 slim model of the Playstation 3 is doing in regards to the 'Yellow light of death' (YLOD).
So basically i have put together a poll to see just how many of you have had the YLOD with the PS3 slim playstation 3. If you have had a YLOD with a slim PS3 please use the poll and say when you had the YLOD and also when you purchased the PS3. Thanks for your time.

If you have a slim PS3 (any model) and it hasn't had a YLOD, please vote 'no' on the poll.

PS3 slim models only!!

I had 1 fat model ylod on me but the slim has yet to go ylod

[Minarum]

I've yet to hear of a single Slim YLOD'ing. I'm sure it's possible, and it might of happened. But the chances of the Slim getting a YLOD right now is probably below 1%. You'll have blu-ray lense issues, or hard drive failures before it YLOD on you.

I've got 2 slims btw~.

Wow my internet just screwed me over

It just crashed as I was trying to vote and for some reason it says I voted yes...which isn't true.

Sorry about that

[Hysteria]

I would vote, but I haven't had one long enough to reach the margin of having this issue.




....Telling by the sound this thing makes now though, it'll be f*cking soon.

This poll is now about as reliable as a wooden boat with holes in it

my fatty died from the loss of the cooling fan and not YLOD and my slim has been kicking for a couple of years and still going strong..i do have an 80gb fatty as a backup just in case

I think I got close but that was probably due to excessive playing of my PS3 during the Christmas period. I was playing a multiplayer game on assassin's creed revelations and the PS3 Slim froze and turned itself off and started a blinking red light and then i was scared to turn it back on but it successfully turned on so it wasn't a YLOD but it overheated.

I've had my PS3 Slim for two years and it is still running like a champ. Rarely ever hear the fan get excessively loud and fast

[snakebit10]

My slim will be 2 years old next week and no signs of failure yet. Just have had the ocassional freezing in some games but thats it.

My ps3 slim got ylod about 10 months after I bought it.But Sony fixed it because it was under warranty and it's been working fine for a little over a year now.

[AJL_LEYJA]

no ylod for my slims but i have experienced weird issues. one time i turned off my slim and then turned it on but it wouldnt eject discs or insert (it actually happened twice) and i have had freezing issues with downloadable games but not anymore

[nader-M_]

nope no YLOD for me yet, btw i have a 120 GB slim.i keep getting game freezes once in a while and the 3 beeping sound but no YLOD

[YumeOMiru]

Nope, nope and no.

[tai363]

Not me i got mine december of 2010 but 2 of my friends on psn has 1 of em recntly had it happen to him last week!

[Eddie]

I got mine in July of 2010 after my fat 40GB died on me. It runs perfectly fine and has no signs of YLOD.

[DaRe_xLw]

Had my PS3 for almost two years, and the only issues I've experienced from it were freezes with games from time to time.

[TheExiledMarine]

I've had my slim PS3 for 7 months. It freezes from time to time but nothing serious has happened to it yet. It's running good so far.

My old fat PS3 couldn't read discs anymore so that sucked. It was about to hit 3 years. That's not bad.

I'm hoping that the Slim lasts me until 2014-2015

[nauGie]

Interesting threat. The poll is quite useless though. What is the result going to tell us? Think about it

[Moondog]

i've had my slim since August so its still early days but i really hope it doesn't get YLOD as i've lost 2 fat PS3s to it *fingers crossed*
