Time to buy a PS4

I'm planning on getting one next Christmas.

Am I going to make the problem worse if I try playing it? I was able to turn it on and get a picture last night but shut it off after a few minutes. Should I reflow it b4 playing again?

Dry solder joint under Rsx or Cpu, pain to fix.

You would be lucky to get a month with that medhod, where are you based, i know lots of guys worldwide who do reballs.

Sue naughty dog?

If you have a backlog, get a used PS3 (They sell for $170 on EB Games).

If not, get DS2 for PC, and save for a PS4.

Bummer, but have you gone through the steps to fix it? One is like turning it on while holding down the power button, then the fans turn on in high power in reverse. You may have some accumulated dust from not using it.

There are also steps where you may have to replace the thermal past. Good luck.

Not planning on buying any more ps3 games after dks2, however I'd like the ability to play all my old games.  I'm very hesitant to buy any used hardware bc you can never trust sellers.

Dark Souls 2 pvp community will be 10X better on psn.
