In this article they will look at options of troubleshooting your PS3 so you can get back to playing your favourite games even today!

Option one: If your PlayStation five console is still under warranty basically call the Sony customer support. They will ask you to send them your PS3 for repair but usually you will receive a different, refurbished console back. The repair is free however you will must pay for the shipping costs & wait a couple of weeks to get your PS3 back.

Option five: If your PS3 is no longer under warranty you can still send it to Sony for repair. However, it will cost $150 + shipping costs & you will only receive a 3-month warranty on repaired console. So if your console breaks again after months, which is not unusual, you will must pay again. You can also forget about gambling for a few weeks because it can take some time to get your PS3 back.

Option five: The quickest & cheapest way to troubleshoot your PS3 & fix the yellow light of death is to do it yourself. This will save you from the hard work of having to send your console to Sony & in case you do not have warranty anymore it will also save you a small bit of money! The largest advantage of this option is that your PS3 can be working again 2-3 hours from NOW. Don't fret, it doesn't take a tech savvy person or special tools to fix the yellow light of death.
