Where did you send it too?
Did you send it to another forumer here specializes in reballing?

Yeah some shop that do reballing on laptops, graphic cards and so they say they do reballing for ps3 and xbox360 as well...

May i know how long reballing lasts and roughly how much would it cost?

You may look for cinkiah here

reballing would cost RM200-300 theoritically it can last for years, but i've sent mine and juz last for months...

yup he provide reballing method ps3 fix...

Has anyone sent their PS3 phat which ahs YLOD to Sony Service Centre before, can i know how much they charge? Mine is experiencing it lately

Ok I never sent it before to Sony, but I've called them before and they say they only accept Sony PlayStation 3 that purchased in Sony Centre MALAYSIA only and I've a fren bought it at there and send back to there. End up my friend told me that the price to fix it is better to just buy a new PlayStation 3 lololol...

Haha i called them today and they asked to bring it in. Does that mean they are accepting PS3's not bought from Malaysia?

Did you ask for the price? I am sure it will be quite expensive

I did but they said they are not sure because they dont do the repairing , they just ask to bring it in .

haha maybe policy changed... the time i asked them is few years back which is the fat ps3 era...

yeah thats for sure

yeah same thing they mention to my friend and waited days or weeks i forgot and they quote a very ridiculous price... maybe i should go ask my fren hahaha...

So you guys think should i give it a shot and bring my PS3 to repair in Sony Centre or just get the new Super Slim?

just get the new superslim...

Damn must fork out money again D: . Haha thanks again

if u not in a hurry to play games. Send to sony centre and quote for price. If u think is reasonable then proceed. If not buy a new one.

better to buy a new one, sooner or later other parts may fail.. usually the lens wear or the power supply...

I've just got replied from my friend and he said that if is YLOD issue it will cost RM900 by sending it into Sony Centre... lol~

Wow that is like sooo expensive. I have PS4, buy I have some ps3 games that I haven't finish. Should I get ps3? I'm in a dilemma :'(

Maybe u can just purchase the game on psn store and play it on ps3?

So far I have had to purchase two Ps3s (some people might consider me lucky) as my old and trusty phat PS3 recently 'died' due to YLOD. All my PSN games,saves and torphies are in there and I still haven't removed the old HDD and imported the data to my new one. :/

I think if the YLOD happens again, I will leave the PS scene for awhile and come back once the PS4 prices have dropped more.
