Yellow,Light,Of,Death
The Yellow Light of Death is a way for your PS3 to tell you that it's crapped out on you, and you're going to have to send it back to Sony. it can mean any kind of hardware failure. As far as frequency goes,due to a fault with the thermal paste that was used on the original PS3 that dried up causing it to over heat. But it can also happen on any model for any other reason as well

Typically to fix it, people replace the old thermal paste with: Artic 5 thermal paste, or they also have the system "REFLOWED"

Noun: a friend who is usually only called upon by a friend when a more primary/prominent friend is unavailable.

Taken from the term “second string” in an athletic competition situation. In football, if the star quarterback gets injured during a play, the second string is called off the bench to replace him/her. A “Second String Friend” is essentially benched until needed, if ever.

Synonyms: Plan B, Second Choice, Secondary Friend, Benched Until Needed

YLOD - Yellow Light Of Doom

A yellow light that basically means that your Playstation 3 is broken.

It's similar to the Xbox 360's RROD (Red Ring Of Doom).

Yellow Light Of Death

A light the the PS3 displays when a hardware error has occurred. This means you either have to ring sony and get fucked or try fix it yourself.

AHAHAH! Says all the 360 fans, they have a RROD too!!!

That is wrong, >3% of PS3s will be custom to a hardware problem, while a disturbing 13%+ of 360s will get the RROD alone. (Excludes other problems)
