Your friend has been sold a faulty machine from the start, your friend has been 'done'.

Sony will not help you the moment they realise it's an Asian import - by importing a console from outside its domestic terrority, you have broken the terms and conditions of the warranty. Sorry about that.

If you're lucky, you might be able to bring it to an independant gaming shop where they will be able to diagnose the problem for you, but do not expect it to be anything other than mighty expensive, and even then they might not be able to repair it.

I'd suggest to your friend that he contacts the eBay seller immediately and demands a return and refund.

Hi!
yes,i contact,sony,and the told me the same...

is,this only on the ps3 console,with the country limit warenty?

,i was thinking ,in the past,sony makes advertising,offering world wide warenenty,for example,for camcorders,i buy anywhere,in the world,and have warenty in my home country!?

could,it be posible,that this law,was changed,very shortly,last year,i called sony,and ask,how long i have warenty,when i import usa ps3,the man,on phone told me, 6 month not more

in eu now 2 years
and i heard,in irland,is it 6 years warenty,read this in newspaper,is this true,sound amazing:)
