Ok, so I recently got a few broken PS3's from a friend who works at Rent-a-Center. They came with everything (wires,cables, except controllers) and I couldnt get them to work. So I was just wondering if any of you would happen to know a guide or website where I can attempt to fix/repair any of these consoles. Thanks in advance.

Because depending on how many ps3s he has, that can get pretty expensive. Im sure the whole idea here is to save as much money as possible and then sell them for profit. :)

Np. I was looking for just general repair guides on google, but didnt really find any that either werent a scam or that didnt cost money. I'd say your best bet is to just try and figure out what is wrong with them and then scour the net for info on how to fix that particular problem.

This.

You won't be able to find any sort of all inclusive guide, but I'm sure remedies to some specific problems are out there.
