The Yellow Light of Death (YLOD) is commonly caused by loose solder joints under the GPU chip, which occurs due to prolonged overheating.
In rare cases, a failing component on the main board can contribute to this issue.
Another possible culprit is the tandem diodes, which regulate voltage within the system. When these diodes degrade, they can disrupt power delivery, leading to system failure.
Using cutting-edge technology, we re-flow the main board to restore proper connections, replace faulty components, and fully test your PS3 to ensure the repair is complete and won’t return.
For reliable repairs and expert servicing, trust us to bring your PS3 back to life! 🎮

This issue can stem from: 🔹 Main board failure, disrupting power flow 🔹 Faulty power supply unit (PSU)preventing stable operation 🔹 Short-to-ground issues on the main board, causing unexpected shutdowns

Excellent service from Richard. Dropped of my son’s PS5 on Friday with a broken HDMI port and it was ready on Monday.

Excellent, friendly service. Many thanks, Rich. This should have been a routine procedure, changing a cmos battery, that I would have done myself. However, it turns out that the motherboard is an awful design and the PC had to be taken apart just to change the battery. Rich also cleaned up and repaired a usb port connector on the motherboard that had been damaged. I dropped the PC off in the afternoon and it was repaired and ready for pickup the following afternoon.

Really helpful and quick service, I literally rang up and dropped my son’s Nintendo Switch off the same day to be looked at. Unfortunately the water damage was too much to be fixed but I was talked through what had happened and where the water had got to. He also recommended a cheaper alternative to help me save some money when we buy another Nintendo Switch. Touch wood nothing happens but I would definitely be a returning customer.
Thank you! :)
