PC dies, PS3 dies, Car dies, what next? Bum dies? :/

Oh, and I just smacked my car. Great day

I know that feeling.
4 car crunch on the M6 J31 last Sunday and I was in car #3. An airbag stinks like a firework when it blows up in your face.

Crapsticks. Youtubed around and the most likely fix would be a real pain to do. I've just re-assembled my PC to get it working and I don't fancy another job with a fiddlier bit of kit that I've never opened before. Gonna try these guys. They look like the most reputable local company I've seen so far...

Consolefixers

25 mins away. I'd feel better if I'm actually there while they do it rather than posting it off.

Then BACK UP THE HARD DRIVE !

I hate stuff

/edit: Nothing to play. Bored. Maybe a second wank ?

Erm, why not just phone Sony up. You do realise they never actually ask for your receipt or purchase date? They'll just swap it for you.

 

[Wij]

Um - it's an original 60gb model so Sony won't cover it surely. And it was bought 2nd hand so Sale Of Goods Act won't apply.

/edit: and it would take ages.

/edit: and I'd lose my game saves.

/edit: I WANT MY WANK !

 

[Ch3tan]

If you don't try.... You'd have to ensure Sony repair rather than replace. Even if they don't agree to do it for free, they do out of warranty repair for £60 I believe, with a 3 month warranty on the repair.

 

[Wij]

But that would mean sending it off for a while. I can get it done locally while I wait for less.

 

[Ch3tan]

Well they pick it up for you via UPS and deliver it back, turnaroud is under 10 days and you get the work covered by warranty.... I'd trust Sony more than a 3rd party tbh.

 

[Wij]

You can't have had many experiences with Sony then over the years

*bodhi-bait*

Stop being so lazy and fix it yourself!

I opened mine up to reapply thermal paste and it didn't take long at all.

Only problem once when i reassembled it i realised i leftout several screws.

 

[Raven]

You always do. I have a jar of left over screws. Took the back off my sisters laptop and had left over screws, she wasn't happy.

If in doubt use nails!

If in doubt use nails!

Yep, after all, it worked for JC.

My friend had this with a ebay purchased original and for £60 he ended up with a reconditioned slim model, he did not use the BC so this was a bonus to him.

 

[cHodAX]

Yep, after all, it worked for JC.

Yep if it works for the big man then who are we mere mortals to question?
