PS3 Repair in Cardiff
Discussion
Hi guys. I know, wrong forum for this topic, but I'm looking for somewhere in Cardiff that can fix my PS3. Laser has probably gone as its just stopped reading discs. Its an original release version 60GB if that helps. Please let me know if you know of a place or someone who can do a fix - cant go too long without GT5!
Cheers

James, it sucks doesn't it!!
I found a few places and all quoted between £90 and 120 depending on the drive - there are about 12 different laser drives in total and I'm told you can only find out which you have by taking it out. I took mine to SymTek on Albany Road in Cardiff. They may have the correct laser in stock so it might be back in only a week. Most other places or ones you send it off to take 2 weeks or so. I didn't want the extra cost or having to post mine and I like an actual place of business so I know where it is! The installation yourself looks manageable with guides online, but with the lasers themselves costing £65 I was happy to pay extra to make sure it worked and have a warranty on the repair.
Hopefully I can let you know the good news when its working again in a week or so. No idea of any repairers in Newport sorry.

Amazingly, I've just been called up and they have repaired it already. Only took 1 day. Really pleased although my pocket is now £120 lighter!
