Fixing PS3

[portokiwi]

Hi all just a question..... Does anyone here know where in the Auckland city area I could get my PS3 fixed.
The lazor is not reading. We have had it for over a year now.
Any help would be great.

my ex works for sony. That is what he does. Fixes them.

Called him. He will fix it under warranty for you. So long as it has not been dropped or got water damage etc.

He said drop it to him at his work.

Unit 5 Paul Matthews Road, Albany. (reception)
Any problems ask for Matt. He said it will take a few days.

Its out of warrenty, Plus the warrent was in Portugal.
It hasnt been dropped or water. Just stoped reading the disks:crybaby: cant play buzz anymore.

[Jorja]

ahhh don't think you get it. ;)

I asked a favour and he said they will do it for you. No charge. Usual cost is $460 I explained you had no warranty and he said they would sneak it through.

It will be about 2 or 3 days and will probably be couriered back to you. He said you only need to leave it at the front desk but if you have any problems ask for matt.

Damn - a catch-22. Sounded almost too good to be true.

:wari: Took the Play station in. Jaras Ex is a very nice guy. Very helpfull.
We got the forms signed aprently this problem is noted by Sony which is good.
My step sons ps3 was covered in Portugal but as we moved over here we have bits all over between here and there. We couldnt find the papers could be at mums her brothers here who knows.
But with help from friends like Jara and her ex on a great site like Kiwi Biker things are allways better.
Again Thank you.

Great to see folk helping each other out.

On a slight tangent, next time you have trouble with an electronic gadget that's not long out of warranty, try the Consumer Guarantee Act, which states something along the lines of "an item must be fit for the purpose for which it's sold."

That's not a direct quote. Please don't hurt me.

I had a Sony digital camera which one day ( 1 month out of warranty) decided to stop reading the Memory Stick. Sony fixed it and wanted $175 for the repair. I told them that I didn't think I should have to pay because of the CGA.

After a 5 second silence the guy said, "We have adjusted your invoice. There is no charge." No contesting the fact either.

This isn't a dig at Sony, as they were willing to play ball.

And I still think Jorja is ace for helpin' out.:yes:

From memory if you fight it you can get sony to pay for the parts but not the labor

[avgas]

i got some tech guy at sony to send me parts in the mail for free once - outside of warranty!!!
Awesome guy - was flooded for work so when i told him i could fix it at home if i had the parts he just sent the out.
he also mentioned that sony had a restructure in 2000 and that all the good stuff was being taken over by shiny bad stuff.
ironically he was right
