| Sony PS3 Service
Help! I busted the LAN connection of my PS3 when i tripped on the wire still connected to my ps3. now it won't connect online.
Anyone know where i can get this repaired? its already out of warranty (over a year old) and Sony charges $170 for their service  |

did you try using another cable? you probably broke a wire inside it when you tripped. either that or try looking at the socket to see if a pin is bent, which would be an easy fix as well.
lastly try wireless, it works great for me

thanks for the replies guys. I think I'm just gonna go do wireless. I was just hesitant on going that way because I occasionally play sf4 online and worried about added lag. But I'm going to try it out since my only other choice is ship it to sony and pay a lot to get it fixed since I don't know anyone that solders and I heard you have to take apart so many things just to get to that LAN part.
Regarding the pins - there's 2 pins bent which i manage to straighten out a bit bit I think one of them is disconnected - its not sitting at the same height as the other ones.

to give you an idea of how well the wireless works, when I play CoD4 and 5 I get 4-5 bars of 5 all the time on Shaw highspeed, with 4-5 walls between the PS3 and a wireless G router.

some D-Link piece of junk. I got it at Futureshop about 4-5 years ago for $10 after a mail in rebate. I've found the PS3 connects better with security turned off on the wireless, since the router's range is smaller than our property I don't care haha.
also make sure your router isnt too close to the PS3.

I'm using a wrt54gl, and it is on the other side of my house.
I usually get 20%-40% wireless connection strength for my PS3, which is low.
Using shaw highspeed, terayon modem, wrt54gl with Tomato 1.11
I just bought a 50ft rj45 cable and planning to go wired since it's impossible to move my wifi router.
Is there anyway to increase wifi strength in my situation?

I'm using a Linksys WRT54g and I've got a strong signal strength with my PS3 downstairs. I even keep my router upstairs.
