I've changed a lot of PS2 lenses, I've opened up X360 DVD-ROM drives and changed the lenses even the drive. So for me there is no difference with PS3. I've opened up PS3 before. I mean disassemble it parts by parts.

I can feel your pain but somehow my gut feeling is saying that I shouldn't help you. Sorry again.

okok i can pass u this guy in sg wang if u want, they might b able to help u. just try yr luck if u want. the technichien is actually in his shop.

tot31 ... Thx for your honest answer


In answer to rx330 ... yes ... the Sony service centre is a toll free number (1300 number).
At least now I know for sure that the service centres here would not repair them.
Actually, I even asked whether they could help to send it to Singapore or HK ... and even voluntered to pay for all expenses (i.e., transportation and repairs).
Still .. Sony said no ... hmm


I'm thinking of calling Sony Singapore .. u think they would layan me ?

i know...just pm tot..tell 'her' politely u need pertolongan...

Looks like I'm not alone ... (actually not a very comforting thought also)

My PS3 was bought in early May this year.
So, it only lasted 3 mths ...


Sony (M) service centre number
Hotline: 1300-88-1233

If you are really gong to dismantle your ps3 and check to see the problem, then might as well throw in and upgrade the hard disk drive to a 120GB capacity.

If you need a step by step guide here is its:

So far for my ps3, no problems still (fingers cross) maybe since because i don't play much with it, currently still waiting very long for the MGS4 and GTHD (full edition)

What version are your PS3? Sg, HK or Japan? Kalau Sg.....senang sikit, hantar Singapore.

I think my PS3 is a HK machine

Do you know how to check ?

You know, i don't wanna say this but, i think it was obvious and everyone else here already knew Sony Malaysia wouldn't give a shit. You were wasting your time calling them. Reason is because, PS3 has not officially launched here, so its not considered their product. Even if it ALREADY launched, and you bought a Japan model for instance, they would still not layan you. Its not an international warranty.


Good, now you're getting it. Check the serial number of the PS3.
For example, PSPs have serial numbers
PSP-1000(japan model)
PSP-1001(US model)
PSP-1002(eur model)
PSP-1006(local model/asian model)
PSP-1007(taiwan?)

and so on and so forth....(i might be wrong though. But PSP-1000 is definately japan model)
The smallest number/first number is usually the japan models, followed by US, EUR and further away.

Sorry, Ive yet to see a real PS3 and dismantle it for myself. But ive been dismantling PSPs and PS2s and PSs. Its all the same.
My advice? dismantle it to see for yourself how a real PS3 actually works on the inside. See if it really is the lens that is broken, or maybe theres something stuck. Because we're really making assumptions here without seeing the real thing. And while you're at it, maybe upgrade the HDD as well. You could even mod your PS3 lol. DIY FTW
Do some google for videos on dismantling a PS3(youtube etc. etc.) if it makes you feel more secure. Besides, theres a first time for everything right? instead of whining and depending on others for help, do it yourself.

Actually, if you're willing, you could send it to me for repairing. I won't guarantee you'll get it back though ahahaha

PS: although, i think PS3 lens would cost far more. It IS blue lens instead of red after all.

due to high temp during long hours of gameplay ~ its advisable not to turn off yr ps3 immediately ~leave it for like 5-10 mins then turn off as it will prolong yr ps3 lense life-time.

btw, replacing lense on yr ps3 is sooner / later ~ just a matter of time. any of you had the experience of dismantling the ps3 lense ?

Thanks for the advise,
turn to stand by and wait 5- 10 minutes only turn it off?
Or after 5 - 10 minutes only turn to stand by then turn it off?

Play it in an air conditioned room.

That should further help increase the hardware lifespan
