My son's ps3 was giving the message "cannot read hard drive" and lots of other error messages. I sent away for a hdd drive from ebay which I got for 50 euro and watched a video on Youtube instructing me how to replace the hdd. I had it done in ten minutes and the ps3 is now working as well as the day it came out of the box. It would have cost me much more if I had sent it off to be repaired. I'm doing the same with my daughters netbook which she got for her birthday. Two weeks later, the dog jumped up and broke the screen on it. I enquired and it would cost 180 euro to fix so I sent away through ebay for a replacement screen which cost 56 euro and I'm going on Youtube tomorrow to follow instructions. Best to try to repair if it's worth the gamble. Cross your fingers for me, I'll let you know if it works. So Torann, try youtube for your solution. Key in VHS repair and see what comes up.
