@the_hiro_abides: I've sent my PS3 to a repair shop that just specilizes in consoles. I asked them if my HDD will be fine and apperently they said it should be and there's no reason why it shouldn't be. Just need to bite the bullet and hope for the best.
By the way, I was looking on my Iomega external hard drive to see how to format it. I know it's surpose to be FAT32 to back up my game data, but all I could find was exFAT and then select 32 kilobytes in allocation unit size. Is that the one or something esle enitrely?
@TwoOneFive: Awesome! =] Well, I live in the UK. That's around about the same price I'm paying for mine to get repaired. Just hope my HDD will be okay. =S And if all of my game data is still safe, I'm going to be back it all up, so if it does the ylod again, I reckon I'm going to get a ps3 slim and transfer all my data onto the slim. Considering if I can afford that lol.
@the_hiro_abides: So, will I be able to put my saved game data straight into an external hard drive by just taking the HDD out from the PS3 and plug it into my laptop and transfer it into the external hard drive? LOL Sorry if that sounds a bit long winded. Just a little confused. never thought this would ever happen to me.
I got the yellow light of death last week and have since been looking on the internet and gaint bomb on more details and advance. What happened? Did you managed to get your PS3 repaired in the end? Did you get to keep your saved data, trophies and whatnot?
