Used Sony Playstation 3 Used Defective Broken AS IS

This Playstation 3 may not have anything really all that wrong with it but I am not an expert.

This unit used to turn on and play fine but then it stated to not turn on unless we wiggled wires

or kinda of shake it. But now it wont turn on. (I am thinking a short somewhere but once agin

this could or could not be the case since I am not an expert.) I bought this game on Craigs list

so You will recieve everything that I came with it.


i think its just a shorted out cable, but it could be the power supply. what do you guys think? and is the power supply fix an easy one?

I think it would be the power supply.  try probably would've tried a new cable before selling it.

It shouldn't be a hard fix at all.  Just remember that there is a slight chance that it could be like a faulty motherboard or something of that nature instead of the powersupply.

I'm just letting you know there's a chance that it could happen it probably won't as it isn't a very high chance.

his profile says he's from the United states so I'm going to assume he's going to be using it in the united states.
