Imported PS3 Slim is available in Mangga Dua Jakarta now!

Yesterday I went to Mangga dua to fix my broken Xbox 360 (again..). I noticed every store has PS3 slim stocks. So I go around and ask for the price. The price is range from Rp 3.700.000,- to Rp 3.900.000,- but I do think you can still negotiate a bit.
I ask the store to unwrap the box so I can take a look. Personally I prefer old PS3 material, but the size is perfect. Should you want to get one, I suggest you get one right now, cause next week import shipment will stop due to Lebaran coming soon.

How to fix RROD here?

 

Ever wonder how they fixed RROD in Jakarta?

First thing, some background. There is no customer service for Xbox in Indonesia, because as a country, we are very weak in IP protection. All the Xboxes that are sold here are modded so they can play pirated copy. And until now, principals never even look at Indonesian market.

So, what do you do when you have RROD on Xbox?

You can always go back to your retailers and have them fixed. Your warranty won't mean a thing. They will charge you a straight around USD 40, and give no guarantee whether the system will be fixed thereafter. In other word, you'll biting your fingernails if somehow they can't fixed it.

So what did they do with it actually? My friend once asked the store keeper about it when his Xbox RRODed. Interestingly he said, "To tell you the truth, we did nothing. We are just going to disassemble and reassemble all the parts, and see if it works." He added,"the thing about RROD is, there is a disjointed or loose parts somewhere that we can't detect. So by reassembling it, we hope to fix the problem. Once in a while if we still can't fix it, then you have to get yourselves a new one."

Nice..
