Once we receive the PS3 Slim we will test out and diagnose the fault. We will then call you and explain what we have found and the price for repair.
This inspection charge is deducted from the repair price making it free if you go ahead with a repair.
If you didn't want us to carry out the repair there is no further charge and we will return the PS3 Slim to you. You only pay for the repair once we have completed the repair and tested it.
