what have i missed
 

been away for some days now have i missed anything good or interesting?

I have no idea.. The idiots at BT thought it would be a good idea to switch my broadband off by mistake and it's gonna take another 5 days before it's back on.

Offline play is wearing a little bit thin..

damn thats annoying, i've been working extensively.. that and this curious weather keeping me away from my ps3

Talk about bad luck... Just turned on my PS3, it now appears to be an ex-PS3, Awesome.

what are it's symptoms? refusing to power up powered up without displaying on Tv?

what is it the YLOD. i had that last month.

I think it's FUBAR..

Power on.. Green light, yellow light then to flashing red.

It let me do the forced eject but won't go into the menu by holding down power button.

was it a mkI, II or a slimline? because thats how my mkI died it was too expensive to have repaired so i got a new mkII under warrauntee

It's a fat one and they just quoted me £150...

Like you said, not worth it. Pay day is next week so I'm sure I'll survive. I hope.

yes it is the YLOD mine was a 60gb phat one and i decided to put it on ebay and got £85 for it then i got a slim model

£85 for a dead ps3?

Really?

Nice one, that would ease the pain slightly.

yes apparently it you can fix it yourself if you know i didnt. if the security seal is still intact you should get about the same

i'm gobsmacked.

I did the youtube / heatgun / motherboard repair and... It worked!

From dead to back to normal in 40 mins.

(not sure if it'll last but I'm still pretty happy!)

I'm gonna get a slim as soon as tho...

that is the main reason i got a slim one i know someone who repairs his constantly

I haven't played BOP online since the 13th

Caught up in the battle over 3.21

Sony killed proxy logins on the 13th

Probably won't be online till the first "custom" firmware which should be any day now
