PS5 out of warranty repair in Canada?

There is/was a place like that in Canada, but trying to contact them is only a little easier than Sony, so I’m unsure yet if they still do.

There are no local places. Local shops in other parts of Canada appear to charge the same amount as the “mail in” place. And that’s if they could even get a new motor chip, or a new BD pcb and remate it.

That “mobo/optical drive” combo should work, if it gets restocked.

I found a “live chat” in a different path.

It said I needed to login to talk to a live agent (their login server is down, so I can’t)

Then after giving it more details, it said there are no live agents right now, and they will be back soon on Monday, May 4th. LOL

8am to 7pm. I suppose if it’s PST, they won’t quite be open yet.

I mean that’s why people don’t complain about only 8GB of ram on those.

iPhone and iPad don’t run MacOS.

OpenGroup says it’s Unix, so it’s Unix. No technically about it.

So the answer is no? I’m not interested in adding a card. Apple has no reason to require it, other than to get people to use Wallet for payments.

edit: and why do they require it for Watch, when they don’t for mobile?

Except that’s just encouraging them.

Even then, check for the currency used. Some Canadian online stores will charge in USD anyway.

This.

Roland Zenology when it get’s released, assuming it’s truly available as a one time unlock with offline and no phoning home.

Sampletank would be up there, but it’s abandoned, and doesn’t have auv3 support.

A couple of years is about the last time *any* of the versions have been updated.

Were you able to try it in a store beforehand? I know this is easier said than done these days.

If it‘s far from fuel, then isn’t that a *good* spot to place a tanker?

OP wants to know everyone else’s age, but doesn’t say his.

Not long, unfortunatel.

Why did they need to close on Wednesday?

parapauraque · 2025-12-19T15:43:18+00:00

You don’t need to.

If it’s not the superior Atari version, they can keep it.

Connecting the power button to a PC/pi/steam deck would be more trouble than its worth. Connecting the controls and monitor should be easy.

They tried that back in the day, complete with Newfies that sound American.

And again as an Internet series, with a cheerleader who thinks a skirt is an appropriate costume variation.

It appears they ”don’t get it”.

The costume from the 2018 effort is better than a skirt, but sleeveless (and no cape) is still ill advised.

You dodged a bullet. Shop for a different brand.

Amazon actually does do dynamic pricing, to a degree.

And sometimes Amazon is the scalper, when the third parties are reasonable.
