Where to have a PS3 repaired?

[dave]

I have a new 40GB PS3 that broke after 2 months of light use (mostly playing Blu-rays).  Do you know the best place to take it for repair (in the Philippines)?  I got it in the US, so I imagine the warranty will be useless here, but it needs to be repaired anyway.

It won't recognize any Blu-ray or DVD when you put it in, anymore, so I suspect it's the optical drive.  Has anybody else had this problem, especially with a new player?

mukhang lemon yan... try to bring it to v-mall and scout around for a repair shop...

try EYO in greenhills, accdg to pinoypsx, nagrerepair or nagrereplace sila ng optical drive dun...

look for Eric, he's the store owner
nice guy and he really knows his stuff

there are other cases of the bd drive breaking down. But it has been determined that either your unit is a lemon or just the lens of the bd. Eyo has replaced a lot of lenses for the ps3 but they are not the only one that is able to supply and fix the lens. Try to get a lower price or haggle for longer warranty with the replaced lense.

I finally got to Manila and had my ps3 repaired at EYO in Greenhills.  The lens replacement was P5,500 and that fixed it.  They insisted on a 1 month warranty only, though.

My officemate has helped me to buy a PS3 in HK around one month ago. Initially, I just tested it by playing some Blu-ray discs and game disc and it worked. Last week, I bought a HDTV and  started to watch some blu-ray discs and DVD-R (Blu-ray ripped MPEG AVC file). After I played Blu-ray disc (Casino Royale) for few minutes, it freezes. There is a error message which I forget the code. I turn it off and try again. It no longer detects any Blu-ray disc or game disc anymore. For DVD-R discs, sometimes it can detect and play and sometimes it cannot detect. Anybody has similar problem? Is it the problem of the len? I have done those restore default settings and re-formatting. It doesn't work.
I read a HK forum. It seem that it is a common problem there and PS3 service center can fix it or replace it in a few days.
It is too expensive to go to HK just to fix it. But I am still hesitated to fix it here with high cost and quality is not guaranteed, especially my unit is just 1 month old.
Any suggestion? Thanks!
