BE QUICKLY TO  REPAIRE YOUR PS3 BY YOURSELF!
 Your ps3 is broken but don't want to pay the $200  to Sony and have the 6 week wait to have your PS3 returned? You can repair your PS3 yourself instead? Well then you need a good PS3 repair guide.
How is a good repair guide?
A good repair guide should cost less than sending your PS3 to Sony.
-Should contain step-by-step instructions for the SAFE repair of your PS3
If you are new to doing things like this, then you'll need step-by-step instructions to help you understand what to do and you will not want to be using unsafe repair methods.
-A good PS3 repair guide should have pictures and maybe even videos.
This will help you to better understand some of the instructions since you can see what should be done. After all a picture is worth a thousand words!

-A good PS3 repair guide should have solutions to many PS3 problems and therefore can be reused.
This means that you can use it to solve your current problem and if, unfortunately, another problem shows up later, then you refer to the guide for the solution. This makes it more economical if you decide to buy one. Compare this to sending your PS3 to Sony multiples times and paying $150.

-A good guide should have some sort of support e.g. Access to a forum, E-mail support etc.
This is useful since if you encounter difficulties repairing your PS3 you can ask other people maybe even the creator of the guide for help.
-It should also contain sort of guarantee
That way if you pay for a guide and it doesn't or cannot fix the problem. You can get your money back.
For those whose PS3 is still under warranty, it may be better to send your PS3 to Sony since they shouldn't charge you for the repairs and opening the casing will void your warranty.
