How to fix broken PS3

So my PS3 is broken, how do I send it to Sony to get it fixed, is it covered like MS covers it?

Looked all online, and couldnt figure out a place to send it!!!

As posted above you should contact Sony support. And as long as the system is in the 1 year warranty period then your covered but if it's past this point then you will have to pay a repair fee unless you bought a extended warranty when you purchased your system. As for covering the system like the other system it doesn't cover for the extended time which really is a joke because it only covers one of the problems this system has and nothing else.

Since when does the PS3 ever break?

My PS3 can start up but when i put a game in tge loading dot pops up but nothing happens after that it justy stays there. What should i do?

its cost more than ms to fix a ps3 if you dont have the one year warranty or extended warranty

i think its 150US for the states and i know its 170CAN for Canada, Ive had to do it

Trying cleaning the disc... That's what mine did... Just wiped the disc off and it worked for me... just saying. Does it only happen on one game? Does the same thing happen on PSN games?

just give sony a call

jojack, is your PS3 plugged into a power strip or straight into a wall outlet? You may have had a power surge which would have interrupted the power to the PS3 (a strong surge could damage your PS3's components). Try unplugging it, wait a few minutes, and plug it back in. If it works, great. If not, probably will have to call Sony. If you don't have a power strip, get one. It's the best protection for problems like that.

How do you people break your PS3s? I've had 3 for years and they've ran flawless, I don't get it.

My Ps3 just broke last night, I called the Sony number on the box. I'm not under warranty, so I have to pay $150. that sucks especially since I paid $650. I called the support center and they told me I can keep my Hdd, since I have all my info on there. The best thing to do is call Sony, it's their product and You don't want to void any warranty.

Yeah dude, youtube is how I fixed mine.

If its a disc issue then send it in to sony and they'll fix it fine, but they charge $120 if you aren't covered in the one year warranty.

If its YLoD then you are kind of boned. Sony can't fix it so they just send you a brand new one (which means you gotta back up your data and use lose a slot in any accounts you have online PSN), and the fix only keeps it alive for another few months at best.

There is a more permanent fix that gets it back close to new in lasting, but it pretty much requires surgical precision and workshop tools so its best to just send it in or get a new one.
