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

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.

      With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?

      This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House
