Just make sure you don't play pirated DVD with it, put it in a place with proper ventilation, you should be doing fine. Other than that, most of the things are quite stable.

Most of the issues has already been covered in this thread, and is well documented. Any problems, you can always find the solution that you need in this thread.

I think the problem is because of the date. The shop bought it from s'pore Sony before you bought it. So in Sony database, the date when the shop bought the PS3 is not the same with what you entered. So maybe thats what cause the problem.

hmm.. so there isnt any way that i can register my ps3 unless i ask the shop when they got the ps3 right?

i have read some of the reply here said that, some shop is change the original dual-layer laser of the ps3 to the single layer laser..that y the price is cheap than or they can give many of free gift..

is that true??

/r/ url to that quote please

Interesting... I would want to know more about this.

Sourced from Wikipedia again:

"Laser and optics

Blu-ray Disc uses a "blue" (technically violet) laser operating at a wavelength of 405 nm to read and write data. Conventional DVDs and CDs use red and near infrared lasers at 650 nm and 780 nm respectively.

The blue-violet laser's shorter wavelength makes it possible to store more information on a 12 cm CD/DVD sized disc. The minimum "spot size" on which a laser can be focused is limited by diffraction, and depends on the wavelength of the light and the numerical aperture of the lens used to focus it. By decreasing the wavelength, increasing the numerical aperture from 0.60 to 0.85 and making the cover layer thinner to avoid unwanted optical effects, the laser beam can be focused to a smaller spot. This allows more information to be stored in the same area. For Blu-ray Disc, the spot size is 580 nm.[42] In addition to the optical improvements, Blu-ray Discs feature improvements in data encoding that further increase the capacity. (See Compact Disc for information on optical discs' physical structure.)"

Any experts here know anything about single/dual layer lasers?

Storage capacity 25GB (single-layer)
50GB (dual-layer)
Laser wavelength 405nm (blue laser)
Numerical aperture (NA) 0.85
Disc diameter 120mm
Disc thickness 1.2mm
Protection layer 0.1mm
Hard coating Yes

Data transfer rate (data) 36.0Mbps (1x)
Data transfer rate (video/audio) 54.0Mbps (1.5x)
Video resolution (max) 1920×1080 (1080p)

If there's this thing called "single-layer" / "dual-layer" laser, then what will be the wavelength for each respective lasers?

what i know is mgs4 is on a DL disc
if it can run mgs4, then the lens is DL-capable

strange thing just happened. my PS3 turn on by itself !
anyone experience this before?

^ i heard of auto-shutdown but ur ps3 has auto-startup!!!! u must be ignoring it for some time. it demands your attention! LoL

anyway, the ps3 will auto-startup if the sensor detect a disc incoming.

have you ever set up remote play?

maybe it is related to wakeup-on-lan option. some routers just send a random wake up signals to devices and the ps3 accidentally being woken up from sleep

how to check my remote play setting?

You sat on your SIXAXIS/DS3 and accidentally triggered the PS button, is it?

yes i did
but now i found another "problem"
my PS button doesnt work anymore. I cant on or off but the other buttons can function.
im using another controller to verify

im charging it now to see if it helps....

Not sure. Actually, I'm also new to these PS3 stuff.

I don't think its true. Even if the take out and replace, where can they buy cheap blu ray lens and where do they sold the one they take out... IMHO, the reason they can sell cheaper is due to 'tax'.

blue ray lens is cheap...RM300-500
correct me if wrong...

sg.wang last time alot ppl change the fake lens to new PS3
that wat i heard

got try reset ah?
(the tiny tiny hole at the back of the ps3 controller)

looks like i didnt accidently press the PS button. overnight the PS3 turn on by itself again. then the controller all the leds blinking like mad. i think something wrong with my controller. But now it seems to be able to use the PS button.

will try the reset button - i didnt know there is one until now...!!

thanks all!

Maybe got conflict connection with your neighbour PS3 controller.

Probably the root cause is the controller itself since you mentioned that all the LEDs are blinking nonstop. This will eventually trigger the PS3 to turn on by itself.

One example is, try turning your PS3 off. Then press the PS button. The controller will keep on "pinging" the PS3 until the PS3 detects the bluetooth signal from the controller when it is master power is turned on.

After the PS3 is turned on, does the controller LED indicator continues to blink nonstop?
