    Sounds like the Yellow light of death.

    It is the older fat PS3?

    You can get a reflow but that might not fix it for long or you can get a reball which is more costly and might be difficult to find someone to do it.
    I would contact www.consolerepairs.ie to get a quote at least.

    No yellow lights on it.
    What are the reball and reflow and what do they do. How much do u estimate it would cost.

    You may google reball and reflow of PS3.

    Not sure on current prices, i got mine reballed about 5 years ago for €100, its still going strong.

    As i mentioned contact Console Repairs for a quote. Quotes are free.
