god dude i feel really bad for you. but i hear there actually are some people who can fix it.

post an add on craigslist. or a local ebay type thing lol.

umm i found this out cause my psp got bricked. and someone fixed it for me. 4 10 bucks. it actually works better now cause he put custom firmware on it. but ya i hope you get your ps3 back soon. when you send it in.

id order the box as soon as possible ^.^
