Yeah I'll have to look into it first. I just realised that I would probably have to send my PS3 over to Aux if I want to get it done there. I arrive at 7pm on the 19th and leave on the 23rd at 8:15am so depending on their working hours its probably too much of a mission for them.

Anyways, the laser replacement was $200 because:

new laser: $150
installiation: $50

Fucking Fixtronics tried to milk $400 outta me for that.

My PS3 has also had previous troubles, last year the laser malfunctioned so I couldn't play any type of discs. I didn't have the receipt back then and called up Sony asking how much it would cost and they said in total (including P&P) $400. I was like fuck that, I'll just use it to watch shit and play Tekken DR offline until I found a local man who would do it all for $200. I'll probably see if this man knows anything about fixing the YLOD, he only lives like 5 minutes away  8)

That basically invalidates your warrenty so no free YLOD fix for you.

Anytime something goes wrong with a console just start waving the CGA and you'll get it fixed/replaced free.

Yeah it hardout sucks so I won't be having our usual Dudley vs Juri matches for a while  :-\

BUT! Apparently there is a cheap fix. When I say cheap I mean $2 cheap!  :o

Apparently you only need four Washers. But like I said before, I've failed too many times to ever do a DIY job again. So if anyone's keen to do it for me that would be super  ;D

EDIT: OK maybe not, I continued to read other posts and seems like it failed for most of them. Oh well :'(

Damn The CHCH Guy no longer repairs PS3  :'(

Anyways Weazzy could I get contact details of the people who do it for $150? I would go for Samurai Black's cheaper offer but I don't think I can wait for a month  :D
