Playstation 3 - FAULTY/YLOD Rare 3.55 ?

Hi there, I am selling a first edition 60GB (with upgraded HDD to 120GB) Playstation 3 model: CECHC03 (4 USB slots, SD card reader, PS1/2 games compatibility etc). I believe it has developed the YLOD error (turn on - green light, yellow light then flashing red with 3 beeps). Now I believe this console has had this fault before but was fixed at a console shop (judging by the YLOD sticker inside. see photos) The firmware on the system is 3.55 so is jailbreakable and when was working it was running Rogeros CFW v2 (with downgrade compatibilty to 3.41) It was running homebrew & backed up games to the HDD fine, however there were a couple of problems with it. The main one is the drives logic board has a slight fault, it works and will run HDD games/homebrew but when trying to play a blu-ray game it will fail. (The drive it is connected to is in perfect working order, it can read blu-ray games, copy blu-ray games to the internal drive fine etc but will exit the game with a 80010017 error when you try to load one) - This is easily fixable with a new logic board and the BD-remarry procedure/files that you can easily find on the internet. The second problem is just a cosmetic one, on the side of the playstation there is a crack and a gap for what look likes damage in transit or being dropped (see photos) However when the console was working this did not impare the console at all. Anyhoo is a good little project to those in the know and am selling it for for a mere £40 (which the bits inside is well worth more) as want to put towards a new one. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please contact me either via email, home phone or mobile (07963 197915)
