Based on our experience, most "fat" PS3 die after 2.5 to 3.5 years of usage. Here's some of the common problems.
Unable to read disc
The lens is probably faulty. Repair cost is either $100 or $110. If you purchased that PS3 from us, we offer a $30 discount. If in the very rare case the motherboard is faulty, we will not be able to repair the set and will return you at no charge.

Hi all,
I have a ps3 fat version bought in KL, think its r3 version.
Never register warranty from day one.
Now it cant detect game / movie disc.
Anyone knows best way to fix? Should send to sony malaysia or shops? Was quoted rm200+ from shops for 1+week repair.
Where is sony malaysia located?
