subject: Easy PS3 Fix Guide - Repairs in 30 Minutes or Less [print this page] When your Playstation 3 breaks you could possibly be without it for a long time. Most people do not realize how their PS3 breaks. It could be from overheating, which is from places your Playstation 3 in area's that does not let it breathe. It could also be from hardware failure within the system itself, which can be repaired by Sony or the owner. Most people hate to get there hands dirty when it comes to there own electronics. Some people are willing to send it off for 5-6 weeks while Sony repairs it, or have a place like Bestbuy repair it for upwards of $200 dollars. I personally believe that if I can fix something, then I will, I hate to have other touch my electronics only to find out later I get charged way to much money, or they couldn't fix it at all.
One of the quickest ways to fix you PS3 is to do the work yourself. If you know what is wrong with it, then you can order the part from ebay or from a direct warehour, and then replace the part yourself with the help of a Do it yourself PS3 Guide. Most people are unaware of these guides, but they really come in handy and allow you to trust yourself as you repair all the problems with your Playstation 3 and save yourself tons of money in the process. I prefer this method because these guides will come in later down the road if something else goes wrong. I would prefer not to send my console to Sony everytime something broke and I don't want my console sitting around being broke.
