small air blower and 1 cotton bud will do for first attempt .

diagnostic test check the lens blue laser durability brightness just like how ps2 .

refer these video tells everything (too lazy guide ) .

try at your own risk:



editted :

p/s: if you planning to change lens ; have to disassemble the rom .

helo,wanna ask u all la..my ps3 slim cant turn on..when try to switch on it automaticly turn off in a second,what the poblem ar..

PS3 slim power supply problem , change the power supply .. should be back to normal

not exactly power supply problem , theres few reason cause this ; and also can be fix it .

another reason , it may be PS3 didn't get enough power supply from the plug socket

guys, i need some answer...hopefully some sifu can help me out

I have 2 PSN account, one is malaysia registered account, used mainly for playing games and another US PSN mainly used for downloading demo games.

I would like to buy games from the US PSN account, using US PSN card. If i buy the game and install it, does it only playable through my US PSN account? or I can use my Malaysia PSN account and play the game?

The reason doing this is because US game is cheaper than Malaysia PS store game.

Yes you can.
Majority of games from any of the PSN stores will work across your PS3 as long as the account you bought/downloaded from remains on the system.

Do note there are some games — notably, Persona 4 Arena — that is entirely region locked. So if you bought it on the US PSN store, it won't work on your PS3 which I assume is a MY/SG set.

currently i'm unable to connect to wifi and my both ds3 cannot connect wirelessly to ps3 slim. from what i read so far, it seems like the bluetooth and wifi chip is dead.

anyone tried repairing it in KL ? if the cost isn't too expensive I might get it fix

so far i fixed for 1 phat version wifi issue to replacement parts lol .

so confirm i can use my US PSN account go US PSN store to buy game and download it, then use my MY PSN account to play the game without problem as long as the US PSN account is link to my PS3 right?

Yes bro.

thank you thank you!!

in relation to the problem i mentioned in the previous page, i tried opening up my console and cleaning the lens manually. the problem still there.

i try downloading some demo from the playstation store, and the console works perfectly.

i think the problem really is the lens or the whole bluray player itself.
any idea how much is it to get the whole player replaced?

thinking to compare the price of replacing the reader with getting a second hand console, or wait a few more months for ps4 (skeptical)

Can someone tell me which ps3 game can play 2 player? like Dynasty Warrior 6 can play together

lens standalone can replace;

for Blu-ray Drive stand alone without lens once you remove it most of your downloaded games unable to boot .

Warriors Orochi 3 (u will like it), Dynasty Warriors 7, Killzone 3, Left for Dead, Dead Rising 2.

wait bro, im having difficulties understanding this. you mean the problem with my console is just the blurry lens reader, and not the whole bluray drive?

you just answered the question . definitely not the whole blu-ray drive .

hahha right. thanks thou.
do you have any idea how much wud replacing the lens only cost?

ps3 slim is it ? might be rm200 plus
