Things You Do When Your Gaming Console Stopped Working (Aside from whining..)

Recently, one of my friend complained about his PSP not working... I suggested that he take it to the store where he bought it since it's warranty is still in effect...

But, to my dismay, he took the matters in his own hands and attempted to repair it himself... He eventually gave in and took the poor thing to the service center only to find out that the warranty was void due to his attempts...

With a little persuation and explanation, the technician agreed on repairing it but not completely for free...

Now if ever you're gaming console acted up weird or simply died, You may think of bringing it back to the store or service center for check-up or repair..

But HEY! This is "Forum Games, Jokes & Random"

So if ever my PSP died on me..

I might just give it a good SHOCK with my handy dandy Taser and see if it gets revived like in the movies... ;D

 

10 to 1 if it stops working I work on it myself unless I know for a fact something has "fried". Usually its older systems I do repair work on if they quit or didn't work to start with (its a hobby) if its a new gen system I will let the tech heads handle it at a game shop but eventually I will try it myself.

 

I do tinker with electronics, but only if I assured myself that I will not regret any damages resulting may it.. Including damages to myself..

 

Curse and swear and if it's under warranty still sue or complain to where i bought it.

 

I would probably get depressed over it just to figure out that I just need to use a little more force when hitting the power switch (This happened with my GBA)

 

Watch anime.

 

I remember my first handheld game console, brick game... Ironically, the plaything hit the bricks alright... Smashed to bits..

 

slam it in the wall hoping it to get fixed...

 

Leave it alone and go punch someone else =]
and play the game on an emulator if it's powerful enough(the PC)

 

Blow the slot-1 area (DS)
It always works!

 

Analise the system, try to work it out, check to see if it's the game, check to see if it's my brother...


9/10 times, it's just lacking a power cord

 

Slap it on one side.

Nah, I'll just play my PC or go out and do something else.

 

Ask someone to repair it, or play another console.
Turn it upside down for my PSone.

 

That's for tvs.

But I don't just slap them..

It becomes a punching bag

 

this reminds me, i gotta fix my psp screen, and analogue stick.

 

WHat did ya do to it?

(My screen is playing up-might be the custom shell install )

 

the screen has a loose connection and the analogue connection is sticking, nothing to major, just need to find the screwdriver i used last time.

 

Hit it!

 

with what?

I prefer a baseball bat or golf club... makes you look a bit sporty..

"hey check me out, i'm into whacky sports... like um, smashing my DS to bits; launching my PSP with my Iron Driver... yeah stuff like that.."
