Well console #2 decided it no longer wants to play any sort of discs. I’ve been on Google and pretty much everyone says to call Sony. I don’t feel like calling and dishing out $150 for a repair. Are there any places locally that will fix this in a reasonable amount of time? Any DIY fixes. I’m debating just getting a new one.
I think I paid $50ish for the lens. The drive mechanism took in and ejected fine so why replace the whole thing was my thinking. There was never any overheating etc… so it was worth repairing.
Of course if you have to pay someone just buy new. The new slim guys aren’t backward compatible but they are way less noisy and render video a bit better.
Welp, guess my buddy down in LA had a PS3 go bad on him. So he’s sending me the disc drive from it. I’ll update on the progress of the take apart and repair.
Anyone upgrade their HDD on the PS3? I’d like to do a 7200 RPM drive but I’ve been hearing it’s hit or miss with them.
A friend of mine at work threw in 500gb… and he has never been in a PC before. You’ll be fine skill wise. As far as the RPM, I haven’t heard any problems, but I guess it is possible.
First one I had, did the same thing. Luckily I was able to take it back to target and get a brand new one…Now this one takes a dump. I told him to overnight the package
