The Yellow Light of Death (YLOD) on PS3 is basically its version of the red ring of death on Xbox 360. It means hardware failure, most commonly due to overheating, and often signifies the end for that console. RIP, little buddy.
Had a PS3 that got the YLOD. It's a general hardware failure, mostly caused by overheating. Time to call a repair shop or upgrade to a PS5!
Just put it in the oven to reflow the solder! (not really, but some people actually do this).
