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

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
