Unleaded solder eventually cracks from continuous expanded and shrinking from temperature change, breaking the contact points on the motherboard. All modern electronics are destined to fail because of this.

I've had my PS3 since launch and just recently got the YLOD, so that's about 4 years of use with about a dozen hours a week.
