Call sony 1st.
When my sons pS3 wouldn't read discs called em up and they fixed it FOC even though it was bought S/H and had no warranty. They sent courier to collect and it was returned within a week.

Excellent service.

+1 with bruneep comments

Give Sony a call- the customer service is superb.

There is a known common fault with the lasers, hence they repair them on occasion outside warranty if you are lucky. I wasn't, it cost me £60 to get mine fixed with the same issue as bruneep.

Hi all did'nt think i'd be so lucky Sony want £120 for a rfurbished PS3 with only a 3 months Warranty, going to take it to a repair place who say they can repair for £50 if not think we'll be buying a new one with Warranty thanks all
