(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hello Guys!

I recently got a PS3 from my friend for free! He told me that it got the YLOD unfortunately! It is a 60GB PS3 Backwards Compatible! I really love this console but would like to get it fixed! I took it to the repair shop and they said that the GPU was fried! SO basically I had to get a new GPU. They told me my only option was to get a Slim or send it to Sony! I called up Sony and they said it would take $150 to repair it! I am considering to send it to them since I really like this console! It has the chrome trim, backwards compatible, 4 USB's, flash card, it is just beast! I am really considering sending it to them! But the problem is, will any problems occur again? Will Sony fix it if a problem occurs? Has anyone sent their console? Also will Sony repair my PS3 since it's opened? Will it get YLOD again? How long will it take to develop YLOD? I also looked at a 60GB PS3 on eBay which has been reballed, should I just get that instead? Here is a link: You must login or register to view this content.

If I send it to Sony, should I install a fan mod when it comes back, so it doesn't develop YLOD?

Thanks!

The £60gb ones are junk. Ive had 6 of 'em. (I had insurance) Each time it got repaired I was lucky if it lasted a year. And you will only get 3 month warranty when they send it back to you.
The last time mine got YLOD I demanded they replace it with a refurbished slim. 2 years on not a problem.

If I were you I'd get a brand new super slim. Cheap these days, all the problems would of been worked out and you'd get a full warranty.

Hope this helps.

You don't get back the same console you get back another one which has been repaired.
As for how long until it goes again no idea.
Some people it hours to years.

I had to send mine once and it died on me within a week! Luckily, they give you a short warranty so I was able to send it again. That one then lasted about 3 years then I sold it.

Are you serious? Then I might consider sending it to them! I just hope it lasts for 3 years like you! I love this console! Do you recommend me sending it?

Yeah, I sold it back in August. I hope it lasts as long as mine did if youre sending it in.

Would you recommend me sending it?

Yeah man. Just try to save up $150 if you're warrantly is up.
