It probably will encounter some kind of error (likely fatal, perhaps preventing it from successfully POSTing), but even if you find one that is of...
I'm not going to quote all of that, but Rzgrz1 nailed it on the head. What he said covers the extent of everything we are 100% certain about at...
oh man, I was afraid that was what you were talking about but you never mentioned the color yellow so I assumed it wasn't so bad. Yeah that...
No. Not yet. The PS3 will start up even without the controller board, it just wont play any games (regardless of whether they are disc-based or...
Nope, never here. But yeah, checking the cables again is a good start.
I'm pretty certain that Sony wouldn't be able to determine whether the KES-400A in a PS3 was a user-replaced unit or an original. It's not like...
I wouldn't buy from them. Now that you mention it, that was the place where we saw the diodes. Strive to buy from someone located in the...
I'm noticing a trend here with the white clipped lasers. Anyone had a good white-clipped replacement so far? My replacement from August was...

There's no way for me to truly know, but I was told by the seller that it was new. Also, just a little nitpicking here, but the KES-400AAA is the...
I dont know when you jumped onto this thread but here's a post of mine that I linked to a while back, around September....
Probably just the lens unit but if the difference is only $5 then choose whatever would be an easier replacement.
Probably Yes. But check what type of laser your PS3 uses before ordering a replacement. You need to figure out if the laser carriage has one or...
Hi andrewsss, This is a particularly difficult choice for someone in your position, who has already replaced his laser twice. It is definitely...
Wow, you got a CERAMIC WHITE ps3 for just $80? Man, I way over-payed. Dropped about $180 on a standard Black 40gb before buying the...
Hi man, I fixed my PS3 in this thread a few months ago, just stopping by... The person who replied to your post gave 3 possible problems. The...
I think my PS3 has been using the fan less lately. But also you have to consider that everyone is using PS3s with different hardware. The...
