My PS3 got the YLOD (Yellow Light of Death).. I was able to obtain a used PS3 and I’m trying to get into my old PS3 to get the game saves off of it and save it into an external hard drive… My problem is that my PS3 only turns on for a second. To fix the issue, i would have to get a new motherboard (which is about $100). Is there a way to connect my PS3 hard drive to my computer and copy the files over?

There is no possible way yet to recover data from a ps3 formatted hard drive. The data is encrypted in a way that only the ps3 that formatted it can read the data This is why psplus online backups are crucial if you don’t want to lose game saves and other ps3 related content.
It is now possible to get the information off of the hard drive. http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/HDD_Encrypt… http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Mounting_HD…
