so sad to hear that bro. we're on the same boat, twice kena died lens. hope your can claim warranty for it. I did, twice!

Yes, absolutely. If time permits, I'll try to do a write up on warranty procedure. Would be happy to share the knowledge with you guys.

sekarang sibuk sket la bro dgn kerja. we'll see this weekend k

if it's not convenient for you to go to Singapore and send it for warranty, i suggest u go and seek bro tot31 for his lens repair service. maybe he can be of service to you.

Ok, do update us all in here. But one thing though, during the two times i've been to the service center, they never asked me to call them back to check status. they themselves will call me back (usually on wed/thurs. i gave my ps3 on the previous sunday) if my ps3 is done repaired. i did asked them to email me but they never did. donno why, maybe the like to speak thru the phone more

Raiko, which shop you bought? As far as I know, Game shops never hold warranty for PS3. Only Sony Singapore/Hong Kong etc. (dats why they charge you for lens fixing). Shops only responsible for taking your PS3 to the service center and getting it back for you. if they are willing and you dont mind waiting for 3months or more la. I cannot tahan the wait thats why i went to the service center in singapore by myself.

hey, I DO read these kinda things

anyway, thanks for the update. funny, i always request them to send me email but they never do. only to non-singaporeans/malaysians i think

about that FW downgrade, i dont know how they did it because you can never downgrade. only upgrade.
but nothing to worry, the important thing is, you have a fully working ps3 once more. plus, you can always do it by yourself. i.e upgrade to FW2.41

eone, can you explain a bit how did this happened?

i. did your game/movie froze?
ii. what game/movie was it?
iii. what did you do after it froze? (i.e turned it off from the flip switch at the back/eject the disc)

Sent for lens repair kah?

Alamak? Ye ke? So this means they repaired the lens themselves?
