Ps3 Laser Problem.

[LatinR33]

Has anyone had there PS3 laser die?? Happened to me and got it fixed then happened not even 1 hour after getting it repaired. Glad the repair has 3 months warranty but this is stupid!!!

i have had 3 ps3's one with a laser issue and two with wireless issues all within 6 months.

they seem to have fixed it this time. they gave me a brand new one.

weird. I bought a jap launch 60gb PS3 in tokyo way back on launch day 2006 and it's still going strong. also have an aussie launch 60gb ps3 and it's still going strong too. touch wood!

Have you got a 60 gig? I have heard of many launch 60 gig's copping the YLOD etc. Haven't heard of many problems with the 40 and 80 gig.

Check www.myps3.com.au somewhere on the forums there they have links on DYI fixes etc

You were meant to be an xbox owner in this life thats why you will always have problems with the ps3.

Dont know if thats true, just guessing.

sony is notorious for weak lasers. Hasnt happened to me yet. Still better then rrod.

dam hope mine dont die, only problem im having is i cant hook my ps3 up via a hdmi cable, have no idea why but its annoying as hell.

Has happened to me twice, once under warranty and once after, annoying but easy to fix! i have a 40 gig

>< my ps3 has been away for about a month now with this laser problem, not under warranty so im paying for it too!

Often its just a minor recalibration of the laser itself, its not actually broken

ive owned every PS you can get, the PS1 was second hand and had a good hiding before i got it, never missed a bet, the PS2 was flawless for 6 yrs, and my PS3 has never had an issue

all i can say is heat kills anything, they get mighty hot, keep them in a well ventilated area when running, if its in a TV cabinet, install extra cooling

ive got 2 PC fans on a transformer screwed into the back of my cabinet for extraction

I had the 60g Aussie model 6 months after buying it, it died

so I rang up Sony and they repaired it for free. But I was still

without for a couple of months. I got it back and threw in a 240gb

hdd an it hasn't missed a beat now.
