Another PS3 restoration, this second YLoD repair on the channel. This particular unit is a CECHE01 model, YLOD needs no introduction. The console doesn’t turn on and presents a yellow light followed by 3 beeps and a flashing red light i.e. the "Yellow Light of Death" or simply abbreviated YLoD.
PS3 YLOD Fixed with an Original Nec/Tokin Capacitor

Now the tricky part, there are not any available schematics for this exact model of PS3 that I could find. But there are some available that are a little similar which provide some hints about what might be the issue.

On the PlayStation 3, the NEC/TOKIN capacitors are prone to failure, causing a Yellow Light if Death error. This is a guide on replacing those capacitors.

The Yellow Light of Death is not an error with one specific fix; rather, it is a more general failure. This guide addresses ONE of the POTENTIAL problems causing a PS3 Yellow Light of Death, however, these capacitors are prone to failure anyway, so they should be replaced (if you are experienced enough) to help the longevity of the console.

This video shows you everything you need to know about taking apart your Playstation3 Fat. If you need to replace the fan or the disk drive this video will show you how to get inside and disassemble your system. Since this system isn't the newest on the market anymore, it's cheaper to replace the parts yourself than it is to send them in for repairs.
