YLOD part 12

Well, it was inevitable.
I got it November 2007, so it's had a good run. 2 1/2 years. So much for the ten year lifespan, its justa shame they cant make a machine which lasts it.

Anyway, I'm well out of warrenty so i dont really know what to do, because i cant just shell out £250 right now.
Oh, and iv got MW2 stuck in there

och, was that a 40?? didnt think they cud get YLOD, ul, cant u ring them up because i read about a few people claim some act of trade... dont really no as mines a trooper, 60gb and had it since july of release

speak to jake he's had it twice.

Yeah iv had a look at a few sites, im gunna let it cool for a couple of hours n then see if i can get the disk out. I wanna back up my data as well if I can get it on. (save game data, etc)

Unlucky BrimZoR, You know i love you and i'll miss you dearly x x x

brim jsut ring em up and give em a bollucking, and ask em what the fuck they're gonna do about wasting your money on their faulty goods.
they'll compensate you somehow, whether its a new ps3 or a full refund you're well within your rights to claim

Be serious Alex, Brimmy the ballless would never do that ;P

lol @ dicer x)

yeah alex, im gunna try it tomorrow to see if i can get the disk out and to back up some save game data and then im gunna ring sony to see if they will get me a new one of a refund, if they dont, ill take it to a repair shop in northampton because im not spending the £130 sony want for it.
Alternatively, if my accumulator comes off this weekend ill go buy a brand spanking new 250gig slimline.

/Prays
/Prays some more

i remeber i rmeber on cg a guy complaining to sony stating all there rites and stuff

this is what he said hope this helps : http://forum.consolegaming.eu/showpost.php?p=653606&postcount=82

Unlucky Brim man, you have a safe life.

i'll never forget you <3

Brim you're retarded. Twice my PS3 has been out of warranty and both of those times they've replaced it. Ring them, tell them you don't expect this sort of service from Sony. If the person denies ask to speak to their superior and repeat process. You will not be able to get the disk out and you will not be able to back up your save data.

However with your 40, look up the fan test, see if you can get the disk to eject whilst it's doing that (if it does it)

Dan, you're fucking stupid "was that a 40?? didnt think they cud get YLOD"

*Face palm*

Seriously though, if you pay to get another PS3 you have the worst possible persuasion powers in history and you'll be regarded as a general fucking failure.

unlucky brim

next time my ps3 gets ylod, im defo getting a slim. hopefully it ylods, then wen i go to trade it in it works for the 5 minutes they try it, den i run away with my money

Rang up today, they said iv gotta pay £130 pound for a refurb. I said, that they should give it to me for free because £300 electrical equipment should last more than 52 months. The guy asked me to explain what would last longer so i told him iv never had a single problem with my TV. (MERKED)
But he wouldn't budge so what could i do? hang up on him?
I 'politely declined' when he asked me for my debit card details to pay the £130 for the refurb.
I'm taking it into a repair shop on monday where they will repair my own ps3 which has all my data on it. Plus its got MW2 in there and i dont wanna be waiting 8-9 months to get that back from sony.
On the other hand, like i said, if my accumulator comes in for the footy tomorrow, im heading to town sunday to get a slim.
They look so sexy and just generally seem much better.

Wow,you're a pretty big fucking failure. As if you're not getting a replacement off them. Wow....I'd have got one guarenteedand I will, next time i get Ylod.

I dont want to pay £130 to get a refurb, lose all my save data and wait for ages to get MW2 back
I'd rather take it into a PS3 repair place on monday and get my own PS3 back, and because im not dealing with sony it will probably be much cheaper.
How is that retarded in any way?

did you ask for his boss?
most of the time the reason the little people dont wana give u what u want is costheyre worried theyll do the wrong thing and get bitch slapped for it. man up brimchild

YOU FUCKING TARD. YOU DON'T PAY, ASK FOR A FREE REPLACEMENT. Jesus christ, never become a salesman or the like, you'd fail big time.

Read what i said I did. If they deny, ask to speak to their senior, if they do the same repeat process.

last time i was on the fone, i had this african guy tell me he wudnt replace it for free ( i had continuous play) so wen he sed srry sir cant do tht for like the 100th time i was like BOOOM got continuous play give me my ps3 bitch. he was like why didnt u tell me earlier, i was like i wanted to get a free 1 lol

I didn't think you had to pay excess with continuous play? Do you still have your subscription? They still haven't released an altered continuous play, so i'd keep your subscription if you have it. Isn't it like £2.50 or £5 a month?

I doubt they will market an altered continuous play because they were getting exploited like bitches. They could do it and then say that you cant claim within the first 2-3 months but i guess that defeats the point and people would then want 2-3 months free, etc, etc, etc.

Also, i was never planning on being a salesman so thats okay i guess.

What do you think the whole point of it being ALTERED is? So it can't be exploited so easily. A simple solution would be to charge a £50 excess if you need a replacement within the first month. That way people would have to wait for their new PS3 and a lot of people would rather just pay and get it sooner.

theres no longer a continuous play service.

I know there isn't. They did say that they would honour existing members subscriptions though.

yh they did, i stopped tho cos i wanted to get a ps3 for a fiver. whoop

UPDATE:
Got smacked back by Sony every time i tried anything. But now, now boys I'm back in business.
Found out from an independent repair man that the problem was that the GPU had lifted of the motherboard because of the 'crappy' (his words) soldering that they use.
Did a little research and found the Sales of Goods Act 1979. Took that into game and told them that my playstation had been sold when it was not fit for purpose. I explained that they were required by law to give me a replacement or to give me a full refund. The guy told me he wasn't authorized to make that decision and that i should call customer services.
Got home, rang the customer services (was on hold for 22 minutes before i spoke to a real person) told him i wanted a new playstation for free. He told me what all the Sony people told me....
Then i called up on the trusty Sales of Goods Act once again. If it was possible to sense someone poo themselves over the phone then i've been there done that. Heard muttering in the background. The phone got passed to his manager. BLAM

I'm getting them to repair it for free. If they can't repair it (the independent repair center told me it is unrepairable) then i get a gift card for £299.99 and i go get a slim.

WA-POW.

P.S. Jake, who crap at persuasion now. I either get my own ps3 back repaired for free with my own data or i get a new one for free.
I think i win this one.
