Damn, just got fleeced on Craigslist, and it's absolutely my fault. For not checking to make sure it worked before-hand.
I got a backwards compatible PS3 off of CL, ad says it works and it has pics of it functioning. I get a hold of the guy and he asks to meet me somewhere. Which is not totally unheard of. Anyway, I meet him and purchase said PS3. I take it home, plug it in, and boot it up. No picture, so I'm thinking reset the video. So I turn it off and turn it on by holding the power button. It turns on and boots up. It then says it has to update, okay, so I let it do it's thing. It updates and completes, 100%. It then updates databases and boots to the XMB. So I'm thinking cool, it boots, I go to put a disc in, no go. Won't even suck it up.
I take the damn thing apart, open the BD and it has two pennies like some kid put them in. *sigh* So I put it all back together and now it won't even boot. I try to boot it to safe mode and I've gotten it there twice. Only to have it freeze with some green artifacts. Damn thing is obviously fucked and pre-YLOD. I got totally fucked, don't be like me kids. Trust your gut instinct and make sure to test it before purchasing. Nobody to be really mad at, except myself.
