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.

Replacing capacitors doesn't fully fix it forever. Only an RSX replacement does.
