Sorry all.Just ask here.

I have a 2 year old PS3 40G Malaysian set. It belongs to my big bro.The problem is the Blue Ray driver cannot detect the disc when I want to insert the disc into the driver.Supposedly the driver will pull in the blu ray disc inside the console when you insert 1/5 of the disc into the "disc hole" at the console.But mine one cannot detect cause the motor wouldn't functional.I have already ask for opinion from Yus and Benard.Both said because of the driver problem but need to check further more.

Is it because of the driver or because of the sensor?Do you all here ever had any problem like mine?How much it cost for the repair?Hlp pls

Sorry.My mistake.

My big bro's PS3 is a 40G Singapore set.When cannot play he just throw that thing back to me and ask me to fix the BD Driver.Dunno what to do since I only heard that PS3 only got 3 issue of hardware failure(lense, Hdd or YLOD).

Aih

I've just got back from Benard with yus.At first I thought it was because of BD drive because the drive is malfuntion cannot suck in the disc.But when try at benard shop, it function normally just cannot detect disc.So it was a lense problem from the beginning.Haiyaa made me worry all the time.Well he changed the lense and my ps3 is ok again. Kena RM 300 but it still not exceed my budget.

OT :

LOL aku xperasan ko lak.Yus la ni x kenalkan.BTW masa tu BD drive aku x function.Mungkin pasal ong kat kedai benard buat dia function balik.Benard kata ong tu dtg dari yus.Tapi still time tu lense dah K.O.Anyway BD drive ko tu PS3 compatible ke?Mounting dia ngam ke ngan PS3?Aku tgk benard bukak PS3 aku pun aku pening.Sep dulu la mana tau tetiba aku kene lagi.

Lense repaired but now I try to solve for the heating problem .Cannot stand just played for 30minutes the fan already spin loudly.Plus don want to kene YLOD.

BTW congrats on the revival.

Honestly dude.

Welcome to our YLOD party.

YLOD may happened due to many factor but common causes are mostly becoz of the overheating and HDD failure.To detect if it were caused by HDD failure, you can try to format the HD or swap a new one.If still failure then probably its the processor malfunction due to overheating. This problem always occured to the earlier model of PS3(20G, 60G and 40g) since the procesor is made by metal.Sony tried to solved the prob by changing the chip with Polythene material when 80g PS3 is launched so its hardly to get YLOd with 80g model and onwards unless you played the ps3 in the middle of a hot desert 24/7 nonstop or in the closed room with improper ventilation.

Err about Sony Malaysia, I'm afraid they wouldn't take the JP set unless it was a MY set.But you can try to contact lowyat forum YLOD fix specialist via email or pm for any advice.Just my 2cent.

IMHO,..2 things bro.

1) Play in the room with low humidity aka air conditioned.

2)Install the external fan on the back of your PS3.Try browse few previous pages from here.There's someone in the forum have tried it and it works(depends on luck).

Nyet.

PS3 ko tak cair ke dgn kondisi umah camtu?

Kalau la umah aku camtu takyah bli dapur pun takpe.Masak atas lantai je.

Yours one 40g or 60g.

bli ps3 baru bro!

I also want to put extra fans behind my 40g PS3 like our Monyetbesi. Problem is I don't know whether the fans should be suck in or blow in inside the PS3.Is there any recommendation on how should I put to fan?

I already buy the USB's laptop fan and will try to cut and paste behind my ps3 tonight.And that fan will be generated with usb power supply comes from the PS3.The speed quire slow one but at least could prevent YLOD.Any suggestion whether to used the power supply from the 3 phase plug or from the USB.

Hmm
What model is your ps3?When you bought it?

Bro.
what model is ur ps3.If same with mine then I also don't want to update 3.0 firmware.

Mr Snipersnake.How much it cost you for fixing the YLOD?
Care to share with us and your recommended shop?

lol miss that.sorry.

Ye la I forgot to ask bro nyet.

Bro nyet, I have a problem le.I already try to cut and connect the fan's wire to the plug head but i dun know how to connect it using 3pin plug.And which voltage would you suggest that I should minimized to?So far already 3 fan burn because of dun know whether salah pasang kat plug ke or over voltage.

Please advice since my ps3 macam tgh nazak already 30min dah go hyperdrive.

Macam game Boktai da.

Aku ader sorang member adik dia keje pilot kotubang gak.Umoq muda lagi tapi dah bawak kompresser.Dah mmg rezeki dia.Aku dengaq dari yus mamat ni pilot heli kan?(sbb stringfellow tuh nama dia amik dari nama hero citer airwolf,Stringfellow Hawk)

Already "game over screen pop out" for his ps3, how can it be revived again.Unless he had to "restart the game" again(buy new ps3 I mean).
