PlayStation 3 broken - you can do that
Below we have summarized some tips for you to take to heart if your PS3 console is broken:
- In many cases it can help if you briefly switch the console off and then on again. If necessary, disconnect the PS3 from the mains for about 30 seconds. In addition, check the cables for any defects and replace them as a test. You should also check whether the connected TV is working properly.
- You should also clean the PS3 regularly. It is important that no dust collects in the fans.
- If you still have a warranty on the PlayStation 3, you should claim it from the dealer and exchange the console.
- Refrain from unscrewing the console and fixing the error yourself. In the worst case, the PS3 can be further damaged.
- Therefore, only let a specialist work on the PS3. The defects can be remedied for little money.
- You can get a quote before the repair. This way you can find out whether the repair is still worthwhile or whether you should better buy a new or used console.
- If you are unsure of what the problem should be, we recommend contacting Sony support for further action.
- If you have the error fixed, you should make sure that the console does not cause any problems again in the near future. To prevent any defects, make sure that the fans of the PS3 have enough space and that the console is not near radiators or in similarly warm places. Always switch the console off using the switch provided to prevent data loss.
