    Hey guys,

    My nephew's Slim PS3 stopped playing games and BluRays.. Plays DVD's okay so I'm guessing it's the Blu ray laser I've heard so much about

    Is it worth getting done, or should I do it myself... I am technically minded, but I don't want to brick it and be left with the bill :p

    Also, how much is it for the laser, or to get it done

    And where?

    Cheers

    Definitely do it yourself. It's a very easy job, as for sourcing one, just be wary of fakes. I've gotten one or two from Hong Kong that were DOA. Stick to reputable sellers

    Can someone PM me a reputable dealer for a laser? What would you expect to pay?

    Oh just in case it was against the charter to post links. By all means I'd like to deal with someone another member here has already dealt with successfully.
