Flashing yellow isn't a problem as that could be just the harddrive reading.

basically its overheated and melted a chip or something.Search google for yellow light on ps3 and youll see its a warrantee job or if out of ticket then £120 to get it replaced with a recon unit.

yeah lead free solder has melted and knacked the ps3 - if in warrenty get a dorrstep replacment, if not bed over. However mine was replaced 6 months out of warrenty, hope you didnt have a game in it, it took 10 weeks for Sony to get another coipy to us with a phone call each week
