YLOD

YLOD - Yellow Led of Death (Flashes Green, Yellow then Red)

Failure in the hardware_init stage. Suspects: RSX, CELL BE, XDR Ram, GDDR Vram, Syscon, South Bridge , Starship2 (if NAND SKU), NAND/NOR Flash, Power Supply, Fuses, Regulators, Cooling/Fan

If you ground out tristate on a console with YLOD, it would GLOD instead if it is caused by bad flash. This makes it an easy way to check if the YLOD is flash caused (most common) or RSX caused (second most common).
