PS3 LIGHT OF DEATH FIX

[C64]

I managed to repair as launch model 60gb PS3 using this tutorial last night.

It's fairly straight forward, just take your time.

I don't want to sound like a complete tosser, but are you sure it's fixed ? What I mean is you posted this tutorial the very next day I mean the problem could resurface could it not ? or is it possible that you got lucky (like with the 360 red ring of death, switch it on after a while and it actually comes on, sometimes for hours and sooner or later it's bitten the dust again) .....I'm just wondering if hardly 24 hours "testing" wasn't too soon ?

The Ring of Death has just struck me as his next victim. Sony wants 149.99 for a replacement...how you boys like them apples?!?!?

[Raven]

How do you like this apple - if your PS3 is out of warranty and develops a fault, use the continuous play plan and get it replaced for a fiver!

Well......

That 1st one I did is still going strong, but I've done about 10 more and only 4 of them are still working!



They seem to work for a few weeks then die again, it really all depends on what caused the YLOD in the 1st place.

searched the internet for repairing ps3 found a good site and it says chuck it in the bin.

Seems to me the best thing to do if your PS3 develops any kind of hardware fault, especially if it is no longer under warranty, is to sign up and take advantage of the continuous play system - costs a fiver and nets you a working PS3.

Continuous play no longeravailable.
Seems Sony think people have been abusing the system so as to get PS3s repaired...

Quote from Sony: Dear Continuous Players, we set up this service ultimately to provide a fast, efficient and cost effective way to ensure that your experience with PlayStation 3 & PSP was as seamless and hassle free as possible. Unfortunately, some individuals have chosen to abuse this service and as a consequence we feel that we have no option but to suspend Continuous Play and postpone acceptance of new Continuous Play plans until further notice. We will of course honour existing customer's policies and look to amend the existing provision so that it is less vulnerable to exploitation. Sincere apologies

Or, just ring 08454 04 05 06. tell the man from "trading standards" your story. all gear sold in the UK has a 6 year (retailer) responsibility. if they feel you are covered, THEY will take any legal action required. not as Retailers say, "you'll have to take us to court". a call from Trading Standards has a way of changing a Managers attitude, quite markedly.

either way, what's to loose? the only way a "problem" can be said to be "common", is for as many as possible to contact "trading standards", with complaints. and if your console is not covered by the law (excessive use, or drop damage), all it cost is 4ppm, or free if you are on BT.

repairing this stuff, is only covering Sonys arse. as whitchy says, many pop, sooner or later after repair anyway.

don't take my word for it, ring.
