**Pumice T’s 10-step repair service. Now with only 1 step!!** 1.) Do what everyone and his sister has done since the beginning of retail. I won’t explain because SilencingMachine thinks no one knows about it. Meanwhile, my 34 yr. old coworker says she’s done it herself, and she’s a pretty upstanding citizen. ---

make sure you de-mod the PS2 before sending it back. Thats why they track that sort of shit, and make you sign the slip ---

Nah. If he does it right (pays cash, and puts false info on the form when he returns it) it’ll never be traced back to him. Now, maybe THAT’s something I shouldn’t post, but like I said in that PM - this isn’t a “public” forum, you have to register to see posts. Right? ---

> [@SilencingMachine](#): > > IMO the procedure should only be outlined on a need-to-know basis to protect the process for all of us. > > Perhaps I’m too forward thinking? :gotme: I think you are under the impression that only a select few have thought of this process. I seriously think everyone knows about it. Some feel it is below their moral standards to do something like it, while others feel that companies could handle a little loss here and there. FYI - “Forward thinking” implies thinking in a way that is ahead of its time - inventive. Maybe you are thinking ahead, but not in a way that no one else has thought before. ---
