Anyone know a trustworthy repair center in Perth?
The one I know is The Modshop in Belmont they repair psp's ps2 & ps3's
there is a Shop by the name of Itechworld, in rivervale. just be careful when u give them your PS3. mine was brand new. they said that they will call me in 2 weeks but did not call and i had to follow up . its still ok. they said that they had to replace the mother board. i got that done. when i went there my PS3 was very very dust and they had scratched it aat the bottom. i did not notice this at the shop but i went home and noticed it and called them. they said they cant do any thing as i cant proove it.!!!!!! who takes pictures of their stuff when they want to send it for repairs to a professional. you expect it to be taken care of. so i said **** it. but the next day the same problem happened. i again took my PS3 to them as it was in warrenty. again they said 2 weeks. not it is 3.5 weeks and no call. i think they just sit on their *** and dont care about the PS3 repairs. so just be careful if u want to get yours done there.

You're full of crap!. The motherboard can only be replaced by Sony, as repair shops can't get the part. I've been to Itechworld, had no problem there, they were helpful. They even tested the ps3 to me before I left the store.

Stonecold, if i may quote you " The motherboard can only be replaced by Sony, as repair shops can't get the part" then i do have reciepts from them saying that they changed my mother board and charged me money for the change and repairs. so it proves that they have cheated me . so either you are wrong or they are. and also they never offered me to show me if the PS3 is working. i brought it back home the second time and still it is not working.
i am going to go again to them this Tuesday as being a long weekend. they said they fixed( replaced my mother board which cannot be done y repair shops according to stone cold) my PS3 and also made me buy a surge protector so that surges don't fry the mother board. but still the PS3 is having the same problem. it works for 5 min then nothing on the screen .
Um, that sounds like an overheating problem if it works for 5 mins then shuts down....is the fan on the back operational? is there any air coming from the back of the ps3? if so, how hot is it?
yes there is air comming from the back. but not too hot. i took the PS3 to the guys and told then the problem so if it was just the fan then they should have fixed the fan but they just changed the mother board. that to 2 timees. i think it is not the mother board and something else but i feel that the guys them selves cannot point out the problem. i have tried 3 different TV's but still no ficture on any. also i have tried a 360 on my LCD and workes like a charm. so dont know what the prob is.
but still thanks for the suggetion . its just that to heat up i believe it should at least work more then 5 min.

Unfortunity their lying to you as I have rang a few other repair shops in sydney and also Sony support centre.
Good luck mate on tuesday. Make sure you get it tested before you leave. Can I suggest why not send it to sony? It'll cost you nothing au.playstation.com/
Hi Stonecold , sony will not accept it as it cannot identify the serial number . it was a gift so i think my G'ma got it from ebay .but thanks any ways stonecold . i will go to Itech world and confront them with the information you gave me . but i will just call up a few more people before i do that just to be on a safer side.
and guys i would reccomend that you take stonecold's advice also before you get your PS3 fixed by these so called service stations. ask them where are they getting their parts from.
i was looking around and saw a shop in Subiaco which sold Modchips . they also repair PS3 . sorry forgot the name of the shop. just google it and you might be able to trace it down.

Mate, when you are done with these con artists, report them to the Ministry for Fair Trading.

"and also made me buy a surge protector"

I don't trust any place that does modchips as well as repairs.

They seem to be run by dodgy characters and they are the parasites of the game development world

My ps3 was repaired by a guy in rockingham thats all he does is console repairs it took him 3 days and he even picked it up from me and dropped it of when it was done good service will find his number for you guys

theres another place called marrees mods in morley I think they do repairs as well I did try itech world i just didnt trust them with the answers i was getting concerning my ps3 and with the modshop nah
beetronix they located in sydney but offer free post and usually have it back with a week
the best place for mods and repairs is the place in morley called marrees mods there in the quokka have been going there now for a while and there good better than themodshop
hey guys...just been reading your posts about your ps3 consoles. my friend took his ps3 and xbox360 to the morons at mod shop and they charged him $40 each just to plug them in to test them...gave them back to him and they still didnt work!but made him believe they were working. They are a bunch of con artists. He took them to marees mods and hasnt had a problem since. Oh by the way the modshop and itech world are the same....Bunch of Morons as far as me and my friends are concerned! just cant understand why they are still around and ppl still go to them...DONT GO THERE...
Hey I took my ps3 and ds to marees mods and the service was spectacular i had it reapired and back with a few days and the consoles worked brilliantly wen i got them back u can find her in the quokka i wouldnt reccomend anyone else but her!!!!

Do not believe either of the posts quoted above. By the look of the Kudos Level & jumping straight into this thread with such Brillant comments.....?

Well..... You be the Judge Guys...
Hey Guys,

Just wanted to let everyone know that we have a professional rework system coming which should be here by around the end of September 2009. Now this is not your cheap ebay style backyard rework system, but the type of system you will find in engineer labs at universities etc. Anyone who suffers the ylod after this time is welcome to contact us for a quote and all work will come with a full warranty.

what is the brand and model number of your rework station? I am also a repairer. interested to see this engineer lab reflow station. I offer a 30day warranty with my repairs as for all I know the customer is taking it home to stuff it back into the same cavity in the wall unit that ****ed it to start with.
