Where/How to get a playstation repaired?

I'm looking for some sites/stores that would repair a minorly broken psx. It doesn't really need any major parts, I believe it is a faulty connection somewhere. It was working fine until it suddenly froze on a game and then wouldn't boot up anymore. So the question is: "Does anybody know any trustworthy places that they have dealt with that can help?" or "Is anybody a playstation expert that would repair it if I shipped it and paid them to do it?"

Please let me know. Thanks!
 
If it's an older model there's a very good chance that it burnt out (the return rates for the early models were enormous), and will never start again. You might have to end up just buying a new one. Fortunately, the new ones are much more reliable and pretty much never just die on you.
 
It is one of the earlier models but every part seems like it is still working. When I turn the power on the disc will spin, the laser will turn on, the only thing that it doesn't do is display anything on the screen with or without a disc, there's no sound either 🙁
 
I got ya covered! In Kansas City (where I live) my friend works at the Sony Repair Center. If you want we can do this one of a few ways
1) You ship it to me, I'll give it to him and they will fix it, I fax you copy of bill, we swap Playstation for money oder.

2) You PM me, I'll get the address / phone number and send it back to you and you can deal with them directly.

From what he says, its usually a flat rate + parts, sometimes it comes out to a good deal, sometimes, to put it in the proverbial shafting, "you take it in the a$$"

PM me or just reply to this if your interested in any of the above.

PS: Option 2 would be better if your on a time table, cause I'm absolutely horrid about makin it to the post office
