a galaxy far far away
my ps3 has developed a issue where it cuts out and loses power.

its 18 months old isnt there some eu directive to cover goods for 2 years from the place of purchase?

Im aware of soga but not sure how far id get with this.

Otherwise it looks like a repair or replacement.

Any advice?

Does a yellow light come on and when you try to fire it up it starts beeping? If so this is a porcessor or graphics issue and I have had sucess with the heat gun on these. Otherwise the psu on these machines it very simple to get at and replace.

had the same problem 2 months ago with a 2 days old replacement unit, so i phoned sony up and had it replaced, the bloke over the phone was unable to identify the problem. one thing i noticed was that PS3 was way too hot when switches off, i was ****ed since it was only 2 days old replcement unit forget abt the purchased unit
