Hey guys,

My PS3 has given me the YLOD and will have to be sent in. I want to backup the data before I send it off but with the machine shutting down randomly I can't backup it up using the PS3 backup utility.

Do you guys know how I can backup it up on XP or OSX? Any particular applications that I can use to backup? I've pulled out the hard drive and plugged them in but XP and OSX can't recognize the format.

Is the YLOD linked to HDD failure? If not can't you just send it in without the HDD. When sending in the xbox 360 due to the all to common RROD they actually asked me to remove the HDD and any accessories on the console before sending it in.

YLOD is some other hardware related issue. I ended up pulling the HD out and trying to back it up on OSX and XP. Both unsuccessful. It's been sent off now and I will just have to start all over again. Only thing I really wanted was my game data for boarderlands. But shouldn't be too hard leveling up to level 18 again.

Same thing happened to me, but due to the online problems they were having on the Borderlands servers (characters stats being wiped etc) I kept a usb stick into mine and copied every time before I played online. I got the three beeps of death (it was my blue ray drive) and had to send it off. The hdd is locked to the main board, and they don't repair YOUR PS3, they send a refurb from China.

And then if there's a disc still in it, you have to waitr to get it back too :P

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
