After you see the blinking yellow light and hear the error bleeps on your console, it will seem that you may have lost power to the console as everything goes dead, when this happens you know you have experienced the yellow light fault on your console.

Now check all the cable connections between the PS3 console, power supply and display to see if there is any loose fittings. You can also ensure you have no other devices stacked on top of the console as this is a common cause of overheating and other problems.
