My daughter stuck coins into my PS3 - Video Game Consoles & Games

More powerful processor and video circuitry are responsible for better graphics.

probebly not a good idea to use without removing the coins. it maybe ok now but if they move it could jam the drive or even short something causing a much bigger problem

Hi you probably still have some coins in there wedged. Easiest fix I've seen. I buy store returns and refurbish them. If your good with a philips screwdriver just take the console apart and get the coins out. Worst that couldve happened is the coins grounded out on the dvd drive board then the ps3 is useless bet sounds like theres still something in there.

Remove the plug of the PS3 and remove the coverr to get the coin out or else it can do a lot of damage to the set.
So before it is used or powered on get to wriggle it out, might be lodged into some circuit parts,

It is not so difficult to open a wii and remove the coin.
You can see how to do that on the site of http://www.wiidrivekey.co.uk/openwii.php?osCsid=ff512d90424c548e07e6c372fbc6282f
Plaese, the link is where you can see how it go's open. Dont be scaret just you need a special screwdriver. You can order it also on the site.

when you get back your ps3 the item(s) will be out and it will work!

OK, after nearly breaking my daughter's leapster I have figured it out.

Use the coin and twist the little screw up. Then with the screw part closest to your chest, SLIDE the cover off AWAY from your chest. The batteries are located on the undercarriage of the cover. It takes "4" AA's

Hope this helps everyone!!!
