what to do with broken 60gb

So i cannot turn it in to sony already messed that up opening it to get my game, I cant delete any information on it beceuse it will not turn on, I can get the HDD out if i try hard enough but then no HDD for it after that, what should i do with it, i have already replaced it recently so now its just a paperwieght i am tired of looking at good options anyone: I am really concerned about the info i cannot delete off the main system or else i would have done something i am sure already

you still have yours as a paper wieight maybe i will spray paint it and make it into some sort of art decor...

Remove the hard drive and sell it on E-bay. There are plenty of people in the market for 60 GB models for the backwards compatibility and are willing to fix up old non-functioning ones.

blinking red light, just cuts off after i try to turn it on, i would easily sell it on ebay if i did not worry about my data that will still stay on the main system without the hdd

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure there's no data stored that isn't stored on the hard drive.

i have been told there is becuase the xmb is not on the HDD so with account info and stuff being on the XMB that can be an issue, now once the PSN comes back on i guess it wont matter too much becuase i will change my password and such right? as long as they cannot access it I should be ok right most people would just delete the info right?

That info is on the XMB because the console stores that info on the HDD, then reads that info from the HDD and displays it on the XMB.

my old 40 gig is still sitting in my closet. It actually still sort of works. It wont read discs but you can still turn it on and, i guess, play PSN downloads off of it but really it is trash. An expensive piece of trash because i remember buying it when PS3s were like 500 bucks.

let me ask u this, is ur ps3 under warranty ? if not, then u can still send it in to sony whether u opened it up or not.JoKeR_421
