Most will probably just reflow the solder joints which is a temporary fix at best. My original CECH-A01 model, bought in the first week of Jan 2007 lasted about two years and over 5,000 hours with about a six month stretch of 24/7 operation (Folding whenever I wasn't using it). I eventually sent it in to SCE for a factory refurb which lasted until earlier this year (about two years of use). I sent in a work order for a second factory refurb, and after boxing it up, it's been sitting in the corner of my living room for a few months now since everything was transfered to the CECH-H01 model I bought late 2008 to replace my original CECH-A01. The CECH-H01 had died in 2010, which was also sent in for a refurb, and after sitting in my closet unused for the better part of two years, took the place of the CECH-A01 refurb after it died as my main PS3. So you definitely had better luck than I did! I picked up a CECH-4001B during the Black Friday $199 deal, and that's now my secondary PS3 and hopefully the last PS3 I will ever buy. I may never send my second CECH-A01 back to the factory for another refurb, but who knows? |
right,i didn't think there would be much chance ,it's already been to the repair shop once for a new drive and anything else is always temporary
can you still send them to sony to get fixed the old 60gb even though it's not worht it but i still want to know
