My lads ps3 has stopped working, its 2 years old so out of warranty.
It trys and starts up, fan kicks in then just switches off.
Anyone know where the best/most cost effective place to get one fixed in the NW (Bolton/Manchester)
Cheers.
might still have a chance with sony if it's that age under fit for purpose sold requirements of sale of goods act - would have reasonable grounds to argue that it should last longer than two years due to cost, etc. ring them and argue it on that basis, probably worth a go!
here you go, have a look at this:

then get onto the retailer!
you'd expect when buying a PS3 it to last longer than 2 years. Luckily, the Sale of goods act is there to help!
Follow flatboys link and you're on to a winner.
Thanks chaps, very goo info.
Not sure now where I stand as my lad as broke the foil security/warranty seal as he wanted to see inside if it was something simple !!!!! 😳
oops, fail. Security foil is all they need to wave the middle finger at you.
There's been a few instances of PS3s carking it around the 2 year mark - sometimes it's heralded by the "Yellow Light of Death" or an error code.
Although the rate of PS3s dying is a lot lower than 360s (thank god), Sony generally refuse to fix them for free, normally asking for £90 - £180 for repair costs.
If the seal's broken, you're probably screwed on the 'official' front, you'd be better off finding an independant company to have a look at it, not sure where would be best where you live.
