HomeMy PS3 just broke – Redux Part 2
As posted earlier, I was waiting for my wireless controller/remote problem to occur once more before calling Sony tech support, just to give the PS3 one more chance to not malfunction, but it happened again last night (that’s twice already that is has occured just after starting the console, plus the few times that it happened during usage). So I called Sony tech support, and it seems the only way to go forward is to bring the console back in for service.
It’s unfortunate, and although it’s not a huge problem like not being able to use any discs, I cannot accept a refurbished PS3 that is not fully functioning. Apart from the disc drive problem, my previous PS3 worked perfectly and didn’t have a single wireless drop-out in the 9 months I’ve had it, and I want something like that back. And I could understand if the wireless drops out and I was able to re-connect, but with my problem, the only solution is to actually restart the machine … no amount of re-connecting will get the PS3 to see any wireless controllers/remotes, and I’m sure restarting the PS3 all the time can’t be good for its lone term health. I have only one and a half month left on my warranty, so it’s a no brainer whether I get it serviced now or wait until the problem becomes something more serious.
I will keep you updated on the progress.
