Just wanna ask any sifu around here...

actually i've just let someone fixed my ps3 for the YLOD, and this is what happen after fixing...

1. the demo games that has downloaded previously can enter but goes into black screen...
2. tried inserting disc into the BD Drive but to no prevail, it took eternity to load the disc...

So i tried almost evrything, format HDD (not working), clean laser ( haven't), recovery menu (haven't as no controller), open the ps3 and try refit the connection between the blu-ray drive ( nothing)...

so if that does't fix the problem, izit because of the laser unit itself or something else?

help is in need...thanks...

well apparently the guy who fixes it voided the warranty plus the ps3 i bought probably dun have the warranty oso...

Sending it back would be a problem as u would know that december and january is a very very busy month...

Actually I've sent to someone to repair for the YLOD ady... actually bought it last month from someone since its already YLOD... i think the last YLOD is at june something...

Now the problem is with the DISC reading problem or something and it happens to not even tried to load anything ( Blu ray, DVD, anything!!!) Demo oso enter liao but black screen...

bro, im not intended to buy a new one la... as if buying new one cost rm1299 for the slim or somewhr around that... plus slim oso gt YLOD so y bother buying a new one...

i buy this because it cost a fraction of that... so pls do research about it...

Yes, reflow...

cost is not the problem... i just nid to know the problem that is it related with changing the lens or something about it...

ok...

bout considering a new one... i kinda hate the new slim design... yes its cheaper, lighter, less consumption on power and etc at rm1080 something but do know that the Phat ps3 cost a fraction of that as like rm500-rm900 depends on the package that they are selling...

yes i knew that reflow can only do once... this is because of tight budget that i have to opt for the reflow process ATM... Reball will be doing it in the future and pls do know that although u do reballing, chances are the YLOD will still struck again but only if u play like let say more that 3 hours a day... so it wouldn't be a permanent fix...

thanks...

bro, the wire is fine... there's is nothing related to breaking as i've checked it ady...

Plus i ALREADY REFLOW ADY LA...

bro, no offense but

Buying a ps3 slim example the cheapest rm1060 with free HDMI cable

compare to buying YLOD

ps3 without controller rm280
ylod service rm80
controller rm80
BD lens rm200
1 cheap blu ray game rm50

so that would rm690, still left with rm370 still can buy game, and etc... does it make sense now?

i know u would say that the YLOD will come back again wan, but here's the thing

1. im not that hardcore fan where on 5 hours non stop without letting it cool
2. i dun play much as i already have xbox 360...

so there is nothing justify me on saying that i need to get a new one... its just like

in a scenario EXAMPLE where your wife is sick and had a disease where it couldn't be cured. Instead of curing back ur wife, u said go find a new wife...

ok...

so just change the blu ray laser or...?

EDIT

apparently, i've done some researching and i found out that is not only the blu ray drive that is the problem, is the controller board on the ps3 itself is the problem... but im not 100% sure that is the problem... so any sifu here can clarify that?
