Repairing A Damaged PS3

Unfortunately, there is always a chance that this device can become damaged. While there are some faults that are severe and may require you to replace the entire system, there are others that are easier and can be fixed after purchasing some replacement parts. Minor issues include damaged wires, hardware issues and small issues that may occur after the unit has been dropped.

We have many replacement PS3 parts available and are continually adding to our range. These include;

• PS3 DVD drives
• PS3 Laser lens
• Liteon drive
• Optical sensor boards
• PS3 Power supply adapters

And more…..

Fixing the PS3 is a challenge in some cases and our customers often ask us about repairs. These are the most common questions;

Is It Hard To Replace A PS 3 Blu-Ray DVD Drive?

This may sound like a rather complicated process, but it is actually a bit simpler than most expect. If you are not familiar with this, you can look for tutorials on the Web that will give you step by step instructions. In case this is not something that you feel comfortable with, you can always talk to us about repairing your device.

Can A PS3 Laser Lens Be Replaced?

Yes. If the Blu-ray player is not working as it should, it is possible that the lens needs to be replaced. You can buy the parts here and have this fixed so it can work like new again. This is another project you can do on your own if you have the patience, knowledge and find the right tutorial. Contact us if unsure, we can advise.

Can You Change A PS3 Power Adapter?

Yes. This is something that can be swapped out if you are having trouble with the power. This is a much easier and cheaper solution than going out and buying an entirely new system. We offer the components you need for this as well.
