    The normal warranty is only one year . . . do you have an extended warranty?

    Never heard of the "Yello Light Of Death" myself, is it common?

    From a search, it seems to be from two main causes - either overheating, or HDD failure (or HDD not connected properly)

    Al electronics have a 2 year warrantee despite what the manufacturers say. Get on to Sony asap and try and get it sorted out and do a bit of research on the warrantee/gaurantee law in case you have to quote. Usually there aren't any problems though.
