Dead PlayStation 3 Save Data File Retrieval

Ps3 hdd is a form fat 32 is it not. If that is so buy a sata case.

 

Well I'm in the exact same situation, and desperately trying to find a way to retrieve my game saves.

When I called sony they said they swap the console "like for like" for £110 and get 3 months warranty.
I asked if they could repair my console, but they don't. So I said what about all my data? They said they don't provide any data retrieval because it's on a third party device.

So the only solution I can think of is to repair the console and hope it works long enough to backup all my data.

I'm going to use this repair service I found on ebay --> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290701498142?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

If anyone has got a better solution, please share :encouragement:

 

UPDATE

I used that repair service and got the PS3 back today, its working again!
Also got 2months warranty :highly_amused:

Anyway gonna order a external hdd and back up everything!
At least I can say this solution works, but what a pain in the ass. Thanks Sony :dejection:

 

let us know how it goes with time. I still have a PS3 that needs to be reballed/whatever eventually.
