Hey there
I know that there are a lot of threads on YLoD but my problem is kind of specific and I couldn't find an answer. My 40GB PS3 gives me the YLoD after it is shutdown for long periods of time (say, from one day to another) and if I insist on turning it on it will turn on by the 6th 7th time and doesn't give me any trouble during the time I'm playing. I reflowed it and changed the thermal paste and it is still doing the same thing... I also considered the hard drive error possibility but I tried to turn on the ps3 without the hard drive and it still gave me the YLoD...
Any suggestions ?
