My 3 years and 8 months old PS3 fat 80GB is dying, still play the majority of games (PS All Star Beta, Rayman Origins, RE6) but it turns itself off in the middle of gameplay with other games like Uncharted 3, LittleBigPlanet 2 or NFL Blitz.

Should I sell it as is and buy a new super slim or should I try to fix it myself (help please)?

 

Go to the 6:00 mark of this video....this is probably your issue, and your PS3 can probably be saved if you do it today.

Also I can possibly give you more info, but just out of curiosity, what STATE do you live in, Rafux?

Thanks for the help, I live in Ecuador, South America.
