Sony Playstation Repair
YLOD (Yellow Light of
Death)
- £30 + Vat. This issue is
very common with the Playstation game console. On the Playstation 3
it is caused when the
console overheats causing solder on the motherboard to become fluid.
The console then cools down quickly this causes the solder joints
to crack thus restricting data
transfer. We fully reflow the motherboard and implement an
additional heat sink modification. Please note this fix does not
come with any warranty, the console will be shown as working to the
customer. The reason for no warranty is the issue with the YLOD
cannot truly be resolved long term without the use of a reballing
machine. Therefore the fix we administer allows the console to be
used for purposes such as, backing up your data, removing a game
or even trading in for a new unit.
Freezing -
£25 + Vat. This fix is very similar to the YLOD process, therefore
we offer no warranty on this fix and the pricing is exactly as YLOD.
Is your console freezing up during normal use? Apart from
being very frustrating this issue can make the console totally
unusable. We will collect the console from your choice of location
and repair prior to returning.
Not Reading Games or Movies
- £55 + Vat. Is your console not reading any media, or
taking longer than usual to load? Prior to contacting us
regarding this issue, it is suggested that you try alternative media
and make sure any media you try is free from surface debris.
Not Accepting Discs
- This can be caused by a few issues, we will diagnose the exact
issue and give a repair price prior to repairing the console.
Hard Drive Errors -
Receiving errors such as "Cannot find correct hard disk"? To
replace the hard drive starts at £30 + Choice of Upgrade drive +
Vat. The upgrade involves copying all current data from existing
drive and restoring to upgraded drive, the data restore is only
possible when upgrading due to lack of disk space and not due to a
hard disk failure.
No Video - Is
your PS3 not showing up on the TV? In some cases, this
is just a simple video reset. If this is the case with your
console, there is a charge of £20 + Vat. If however the issue is not resolved by
the above then we will diagnose and contact you with a cost prior to
repair. This may also be caused by a faulty graphics chip, the
repair is very similar to the YLOD fix.
No Power - £35 +
Vat. No lights showing on your console.
Please note if we attend your premises, diagnose the fault and you choose not to get the console repaired a call out charge of £20 + Vat applies.
All repairs, excluding the YLOD and any FREEZING issues are guaranteed for a 90 day period, any hardware supplied will carry the manufacturers warranty. Money back guarantee if a repair fails within the 90 day period, please note the money back guarantee does not apply to the £20+Vat call out charge but to the cost of the actual repair.
A £20+Vat call out charge applies to all prices quoted above apart from YLOD and FREEZING issues which are a fixed £25 + Vat..
