Nope, although at a glance he seems to know what he's talking about. All the actual reviews sound very satisfied, too. At this stage in the "game" I don't know if I would bother fixing my launch PS3 (the Slim I got to replace it works just great, plus I still have a working PS2), but were I looking for a permanent fix on my old trusty PS3, honestly, I'd probably give this guy a shot.
