If your PS3 system shows the sign of a blinking red or yellow light you officially have the "yellow light of death" YLOD problem. Don't worry as your data is usually recoverable as long as your Playstation 3 gets repaired properly. Please keep in mind some PS3 repair nyc shops or even ones you sent to online only attempt a temporary fix or worse mess up your system completely. Most non professional techs is just someone watching a youtube video and fixing it themself.

Most professional repair shops like xCubicle in NYC that repair PS3's use high end professional equipment to reflow your system properly back to working condition. The cause of the yellow light of death is usually due to an aging system along with the fact of accumulated dust within the system that prevents the system from cooling itself properly. This results in the system eventually overheating to the point where parts of the motherboard and chips get disconnected causing an error on bootup as you see from the blinking light.
