Playstation 3 Repairs
The PS3 ran from 2006 through three distinct builds — the original “Fat” PS3 (some models with PS2 backward compatibility built in), the PS3 Slim, and the PS3 Super Slim. It’s also the console most associated with one specific, well-known fault: the Yellow Light of Death. We repair all three builds at board level rather than treating YLOD as a write-off.
Common PS3 Faults
- Yellow Light of Death (YLOD) — won’t boot, flashes yellow then red
- HDMI port damage or no signal
- Disc drive (Blu-ray) not reading or not ejecting
- Overheating, loud fan noise, or shutting down mid-game
- Power supply faults — no power at all
- Controller (DualShock 3) stick drift and button faults
PS3 Repair Pricing
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| YLOD (Yellow Light of Death) | from £65 |
| HDMI Port / USB Port | £65 |
| Disk Reader | £100 |
| Power Issue / Supply | £110 |
| Overheating / Shutdown | £65 |
| Full Service | £65 |
| Diagnostic Fee | £30 |
| Controller Stick Drift | £30 |
| Controller Button Faults | £35 |
YLOD is priced “from” because the underlying cause — cracked solder joints on the GPU/CPU — varies in severity, and a proper board-level reflow is different work from a quick heat-gun reflow that fails again in a few months. We’ll confirm the exact price after diagnosis.
Board-level and electrical repairs come with a 12-month warranty. Wear-and-tear and accidental damage are excluded.
