What to Expect

  • FREE INITIAL ASSESSMENT AT CHECK-IN

    We see hundreds of consoles every month so what may seem like a strange error to you, we've likely seen numerous times before. We will assess your Playstation 3 and give you the most likely cause of the symptoms you are experiencing.  With that comes a no obligation quote of what your final repair bill should look like.

  • FLAT RATE DIAGNOSTICS

    We charge a non-refundable $45 diagnostic fee for all Playstation 3 repairs upon check-in.  This fee covers the cost of shop materials/replacement parts/time that goes into every repair attempt.  If your Playstation 3 is deemed unrepairable, this deposit is all you pay.  If successful, the diagnostic fee is applied towards your final bill.  Don't worry mail-ins, you are exempt from this fee as we know you've already had to invest in freight costs to get your console to us!

  • EXPERT REPAIRS AND COMS

    Our team of highly trained staff will get to work on your Playstation 3 ASAP!  Should we discover anything that deviates from your original quote, we will call you BEFORE we proceed with the repair.  We want you to be in control of your repair.  If you decide to back out at that point, the only cost will be the diagnostic fee.

  • TEST, TEST AND TEST AGAIN

    Being gamers ourselves, we know how frustating it is to have your gaming sesh cut short.  After your repair is complete, we will put your Playstation 3 through a rigorous testing regiment to confirm that the problem has been resolved.  If a problem manages to sneak through our testing, don't worry, our 3 month warranty has got you covered!

Frequently Asked Questions

The yellow light of death means there is a general hardware failure inside your ps3. Your PS3 will turn on for a 1-2 seconds and then briefly flash yellow before beeping three time times and blinking red continuously.

Only the original large “fat” model ps3 is backwards compatible. If you have this style and your unit has 4 x USB ports, you can natively support ps2 games

So long as we can fix your console and it wasn’t the hard drive that died, all your data will be intact.

Unfortunately your hard drive & data areencrypted & married to your original system. If you put this hard drive into a new unit, it will force you to format it before making it bootable.

Most PS3's have two separate "eyes" for the two types of media. When one eye stops working, it won't be able to read that type of media
