My PS3 just died, again.... And lucky this time is the MY set. The lens is not working after sudden loud noise coming out from lens motor.
Anybody know how long do i need to wait if send it to sony sc?

Slim. Just bought it 2 month back.

Nothing heavy, just playing from 11pm till 2am, almost everyday. Initially i did hear the sound of lens motor getting a bit louder when loading time. i thought its normal since my xbox is also having that kind of sound. but suddently last night, it got stuck at loading screen, with the sound of "tatatatata...." every 5 second. then it crash. cannot shutdown normal way. have to press power button 10 second to force shutdown properly. restart, cd got stuck and force eject using 10 second eject button. then look at cd, scratch like hell and i can see the death of my lens. hahaha. third time lens kaput, with 2 ps3 and lucky this one is MY set.
Still thinking if of how to claim warranty on my mass effect cd. i dont think can.

I'll post later.

Owwww.... man.... there goes my mass effect time

Not sure can see or not. but theres is one deep scratch. the outer ring is a parmanent scratch also. hopefully wont effect the readability

The first time is the dreaded 1st gen ps3 lens prob. gatal tangan nak jugak beli first batch ps3. after change the lens then it can last for more than 3 years. this time, after i buy the new ps3, i had applied all the knowledge that i know to take care of ps3, and this still happen. Btw, i had been using the ps3 horizontally.

Yup. sent directly to the curve. was thinkin of fixing it myself so it would take less time. Used to fix my ps3 few time already since my previous set is not MY set. But then thinkin again just let sony to fix it this time.
