So. Was looking on Craig's List, and I came across an ad selling a PS3 (phat) with a broken laser for $40. For that price, i thought what the hell. I drove over and picked it up, then returned home and hooked it up using cables I had lying around. I had to reset the video setting to make it work on my SD TV, but I got it to boot to the No HDD Found screen (Because the previous owner salvaged the hard drive. Bastard.) Mmkay, cool. I leave, and when I try turning it on again 5 minutes later, wouldn't you know it... It YLoD's. Eh, wasn't expecting much. It was cheap. I'm not driving back to return it for $40.
Suggested course of action? I should pick up a cheap HDD, but the YLoD will probably persist. And I have no idea of the state of the Blu Ray drive.
