If yourPS3quits, chances are it’s out of warranty. If you
areeither not ready to invest in a PS4,or
if you already have one but would like to continue to play some of your
favorite PS3 games,it may be worthwhile to have it repaired.You can buy a used
one online but you’ll probably only get a 30-day warranty and will lose your
saved-game data. If you are a casual player it may not matter much but if you
are a serious gamer, it’s time to search PS3 repair Hawaii on the
Internet before trashing your console.
Plenty of repair sites will come up but most of them are on
the mainland. It is no longer necessary
to send your device off-islands to get it repaired so eliminate all of the sites
that have no local address. Next, choose a few locations and check out their
websites. Obviously, finding someone close to home is an advantage and could be
the determining factor but shouldn’t be the only consideration. Especially look
at the warranty they offer and whether it covers only the replaced parts or the
entire device. Mail-in repairs within the Islands can still be rapid and cost
effective.
The most important step in choosing a repair center is a
phone call so you can speak directly to a service representative or a repair
technician. It is easy to get a feel for the competence and professionalism of a
company or at least of the employee you speak with. Get a price and a time estimate for the
repair. Some companies have replacement parts in stock
and get your PS3 back faster.
Make sure that if they can’t fix it, they don’t charge you
anything for it. See if they have any refurbished units in stock and what kind
of warranty they offeron them. It should be 1-year, just like the original
manufacturer’s warranty. If your PS3 has
to be replaced, ask if they can transfer your data to the refurbished device.
Unless you have your own tools and technical expertise, you can often do much
better this way than buying a used unit online.
Don’t trash your broken PS3 without checking out PS3 repair
Hawaii. You may be very pleasantly surprised with your options!
