Hi guys...haven't posted here before but I was browsing some old posts the other night when I was trying to find help getting a disc out of my PS3 that my 2yr old son put in there. If anyone is having any problems, this is what worked for me. What is more amazing is that my son somehow managed to force 3 discs into that tiny slot...no idea how he pulled that one off.
So after two hours, a pair of tweezers, a fork, and a butterknife, I decided to try one last thing before giving up. I put the PS3 on its nose, disc tray down, held the eject button while it was on, and pushed a disc in and out of the drive. This caused whatever was in there to finally 'catch' as the drive had been trying to force everything out. After 2-3 minutes of play, a disc finally poked out. I pulled what i thought was one and two discs came out. I set it back down flat, tried to put a cheap DVD in (didn't want to test it with a $60 game) and it seemed something was still in there. I hit eject and out came the third disc. I put the DVD in reluctantly and the PS3 took it and loaded it right up. Unbelievable. After all this abuse, it's apparent these things are built like tanks.

easiest way to get disk out of ps3 when it has YLOD'd is to turn it off at the back, Hold power and eject buttons and turn it on at the back, the ps3 forces itself to turn on pushes the disk out and the goes off again
