A WARNING TO ALL PS3 (ORIGOINAL-PHAT-) OWNERS
mine broke the other week with YLOD
so we rang sony and its was just out of garentee
so they said yes well fix it for 130 pounds and then youll have a 3 month garentee (wich is rubbish)
and the best bit we complained and he said '' well there a hi tech product and are prone to breaking)
so we then researched and it turns out that ps3 origonals have poor air channiling and the cooling fan is facing a metal block so it does nothing
so what im saying is if you have a ps3 phat id advice you get one of those 16-20 pound colling fan set for them
as it is we ended up etting a ps3 slim as they are properly channelled and has a 17 blade cooling fan which is rare
with 4 years garentee from argos
wich costs more than fixing the old one but we get a good garentee and a better console
hope that helps someone
