Ragin_Ice Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Hey people, Just sold my 40GB NTSC J PS3 to a close friend and 2 days later it stopped reading game discs. I didn't want to spoil the relationship for a couple of grands (assuming I have to replace the lens assembly) as it may appear that I have passed on faulty hardware. So the bottomline is the PS3 is back with me and I need your help. 1. Have any of you used any CD lens cleaner with the PS3? 2. Next I am going to try to disassemble the PS3 and try cleaning the lens with ethyl alcohol. Should I ? Anyone tried this ? 3. If that doesn't work, I need to get the lens or give it to someone to repair it. Does anyone have any idea where I can get it repaired in Mumbai ? 4. Does anyone have an idea where I can source the lens ? Online or offline in Mumbai. 5. Has anyone tried replacing the lens on their own ? If yes, where have you sourced the lens from? 6. Anyone having a non-functional PS3 wanting to sell parts (of course the lens should not be the problem, I guess many are suffering from YLOD) ? EDIT: 1. Googled a bit and found out a shop in Masjid Bunder does it for Rs. 3800 to 4200 depending on the type of lens. Has anyone used their services ?

redArmi Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Is yours a PAL console? If so, Sony should be able to allow you to trade yours in for a new one at half price. If it's NTSC then your only option is the grey market. its a pal one...r u sure they give a new one for half the price...?? its out of warranty....
