    After grinding for so long on FFXIII chapter 11, I decided to turn my PS3 off and have a break. Turned it back on after 10 minutes, BOOM! YLOD!

    I don't want to DIY fix it, because I'm not an experienced technician and I don't want to fuck up this expensive console. I will call for repairs tomorrow. I want to know... once fixed, will all your game data and save files remain?
     
  2. imo your better off getting a slim now, u can repair it and it may happen again soonish. i don't think you lose your data but you should back it up often.

    damn thought it would be nas from the outside lol
     
  4. I believe they're only going to give you a refurbished one.

    You have to DIY.. it's cheap.. won't take as long.. and it's basically unscrewing things apart. That is if you want any chance of recovering your saves.

    Best to get a slim like flaming suggests.. that way you can do a data transfer with an ethernet cable from the old one.

    Done and done!

    Got what I think is a good deal... 250Gb for AUD $556, which also comes with a free game, I chose Heavy Rain, added $65 for another year warranty with "GAME" (originally was 80 dollars). Quite happy with it.

    So now I'ma be real busy tonight with the "Slim Jim" catching up on FFXIII unless someone has a save file from the beginning of chapter 11 they can send over. (US version)
