Yeah, I have the bigger model. As far as taking it apart, I really doubt my skill at being able to do that without messing something up in the process. I'll just call Sony tomorrow and ask if there's anyway I can retrieve my saved data and move that onto a new PS3.
(Repairs cost $120 minimum, and that's half of a brand new one. Might as well get a new one.)

I'd get it fixed for $120, not more than that though, is it one that can play ps2 games?
it's not hard, but probably without getting it reballed how long it will work is questionable.
reflowing is the ghetto fix, but can be done by anyone who has a screwdriver and a heat gun.
just googled it, it looks like the hard drive is coded to that ps3, so without fixing it no.
you might be able to look to see how much a solder reballing job on it is in your area, from somebody other than sony. (replacing the solder, which is typically the cause of the ylod).
If it was the one that could play PS2 games I would definitely get it repaired.
I have work tomorrow but I'll Google for ways to simple fix it and see if I have a glue gun around my house. But for now I'm going to sleep!
Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it!
these are not the same thing and you can't do anything with a glue gun...
(although I may need one for the 360 mod I do here soon, I'm upset that I broke a working 360..., stupid small soldering joints)
