CAGiversary!
A few weeks again, a storm hit and lightning somehow went through my surge protector and hit my PS3. After that, the green light would come on but nothing would happen until a few minutes later, then it would kick on seemingly like normal. But even when it kicked on, there was no signal on my TV. I tried a different TV with a different HDMI cable and still nothing.
Some googling told me that the HDMI port was out. I stupidly didn't think to check and see if it worked with the AV cable before I took it to someone to be fixed. It took them almost two weeks to fix it, I bring it home after paying 118 bucks, and the HDMI is still out. Okay, so this irritated me. I called them up and they didn't check the HDMI, even though I told them when I brought it in, I thought it was out. I asked them what exactly did they replace and they tell me... the blu ray lens...?
Basically, I just want some opinions on this. When I did bring it home, I plugged it in with the AV cables and it worked. It was still insanely slow to start up but it worked like normal once it did. So I kinda feel like they screwed me over. It's entirely possible my PS3 worked with the AV cables before I took it in, and they either replaced a part I didn't need or they lied about it. Because I had no trouble with my PS3 in any way before this, and I don't see how lightning could damage a lens. D:
