wow, personal warranty, so no need pay?

just got a word with citilink courier. the only courier service that will send it to HK and pick it from HK and send it back to me. but too darn expensive.

will be getting the one in ebay.

pengajaran berharga, beli lah dari singapura

spoke to all service center, in Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong they can't do much unless the machine is with them

tough luck

Added on August 27, 2007, 11:21 ami tried to ask some shop at sg wang yesterday regarding this issue. one of the shop gave me a very shocking answer.

Did you try to put pirated ps2 disc inside?

No.

Did you try to put pirated dvd inside?

Yup.

Haa.. the system got locked already. It's not the lense prob. PS3 have this mechanism to lock system is pirated stuff is inserted.

Hurm...

WTF

The post you entered in was too short. You must have at least 10 character(s) in your post before it will get posted

wow is it true???? Got such thing meh?
The system can lock after u play with Jack Sparrow Movie?

Ya there were rumor about this before PS3 come out,but they really apply this?

I highly doubt this is the case. I have personally played many 'Jack Sparrow' DVDs in my PS3 (HK model) and have had no problems. (Although after browsing through this thread, will try and minimize doing so from now on...)

It sounds very implausible that the machine can detect/diffrentiate between pirated goods vs home-made DVD movies... I call shenanigans.

there are ppl out there playing pirated ps2 games via their switch mods. even if the ps3 detected pirated discs, disabling the blu-ray drive is too DRASTIC an action, don't you think?

most probably problem with the laser. i wonder if the problem is really serious or can be DIY fixed via some online guides/tutorial similar to ps2 situation a few years back.

wow
later they will detect even more things

Later, Sony reveal that PS3 is an espionage equipment created for CIA for world domination.

? you got any refference for this? if this is true, than sony is seeking for a lawsuit.

i thought too that it was pure BS. but i just try to google them out, found nothing.

ordered my lense already, hope lense replacement fix it tough

the lens fix thing should be okay. its quite normal for sony and their cheap lenses. PS1, ps2..ah it never ends.

i believe that im the first person opening thread bout ps3 BD ray lens failure...its like early 2007...juz bought it for 2 or 3 months but the lens insist any media.

i ve played some pirated dvd and somehow the play back kinda hicup while in the middle of movie..but after dad...i played BD Games, it still working..

after a few days ive played my ps3 non stop like 17hours..NON STOP!!the BD keep spinning..and i tot thats the main reason my lens kaput..

most interestingly,the lens somehow had a mood to play BD...when i try at my room (normal temp)...it wont detect any media...but when the console send back to the shop (aircond temp)...test it and it work flawlessly!!!

ohh..i hate my ps3...tried asking the shoopkeeper,he said that they can repair it for me.but till now..my ps3 collecting dust...not yet repaired..

dunno exactly is it caused by the temp or the kaput lens or the firmware....

don't want to try to change the lense yourself is it bro? btw, since the shop can repair it for you, why aren't you repairing it then?

im so lazy edi...huhuhuh

thinking of buying another one...but it juz a tot only

when first im bringing the console to the shop,they say that i need to send to singapore and all the expenses + time will be beared by me!!!

wut the hell!!but after few months later,i ask them bout the repair..they say now can repair at penang edi..so dunno when to send for repair yet..so lazy la to bring those 6kg console on my back... xD
