happened to me just now. demit.

huhuh.. 300-400?

there goes my investment. there goes my blue ray player. demit.

i don't think it is because of the pirated disc because very seldom i use it to watch pirated dvd.

demit huhuhu..

tu lah kalo tak salah aku lah one month. but i did write it on the receipt. the receipt is with my gf. better chec tmr.

yup i used it to watch pirated dvd. i never believe that pirated dvd can spoil ur lense, now padan muka.

haish ..

yup tujuan asalnya nak compare lah kan. den skang lepas firmware update rituh ada upscale kan, i notice the difference. meaning lebih lawa lah tu yang now aku tgk dvd kat ps3 je.

haish, tmr lah tepon jason. dah lah hari nih birthday aku. memang sah hepi besday lah

i bought the ps3 using my gf credit card. that y she keep the receipt

haish... tough luc

care tok share where i can get one?

just visit GH just now, according to them they don't offer any repair service for PS3 since no part.

I'm not the first one to complaint to them regariding this issue.

What they advised me to do is to contact Sony Singapore through email. Let sony take it from there.

According to that fella again, there is possibility that Sony will do 1 to 1 exchange for the unit.

But if i'm not mistaken that only applies to SG machine, which mine is a HK huhuhu..

Just drop a mail to them just now. Will update you guys with anything.

Thanx 03 and Tot for advice

forget to add, GH told me apparently nowadays the blue ray lense started to fail. so watch out

if its due to the upscalling then no point lah nak roll back firmware kan? sebab lense tu dah stress out, tol kan?

haish... dah lah aku anta emel ke sony sgp lepas ofis hour, esok lah baru dapat reply canih haish ...

as advised by GH send to sgp shud be sufficient enough. but i'm not taking any chances, sending mail to HK to. but still looking for the add tough

========================

Thank you for the information. We are sorry to inform you that CECHA12 does not come under list of the local support of Singapore models.
Repairs of PS3 are certified by Sony Computer Entertainment Japan. Hence all the service parts and testing procedures/tools(hardware/software) are
provided by the factory in Japan only to the country that officially markets the PS3 model.

As such, you are advised to refer to Sony Malaysia

am i f***ked?

yup just know bout that

talked to few parties already. this is the solution:

send mach to hk to some relative/kenalan (that i don't have) that relative/kenalan will send to svc ctr for repair. also, will collect once it is repaired.

hk svc ctr wont accept courier from malaysia, though i offer them to pay to courier it back.

basically, i'm f**ked

haa betul jugak kan? hahah.. thanx broo life saver.. never tought of that..

haish, only good news so far lah for today, seirusly takde mood nak buat kerja dah ... dah lah baru balik MC for 3 days rasa nak amik MC lagi .. tekanan perasaan..

the amount of money i spend for ps3 huhuh ..

yup, that is y need to check with courier. if its too expensive maybe will follow tot's suggestion. found ething already, only need to order only in worst case scenario

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...

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

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?

w0w can repair at penang is it? service center for sony is it?

i called sony tech support they say not supported here in msia. only supported by country of origin. try to call sgp, they say i need to call hk. called hk, hk say we dont except courier mach.

haish ..

just FYI maybe you are interested lah.. i've asked several courier service company to send my console to HK and get them to pick them up again once its ready, only one company will do it and it cose a whopping 600++

shipping alone to HK. repair is free, still under warranty

nope bought it from GH, but according to HK svc ctr, that i called, they will fix it for free since its under warranty ..

bought it already, thru ebay. not that expensive comparing to the price to courier it to HK.

hope ething works fine lah, will update this thread
