Disassembled electronic device with a screwdriver and internal components visible.

When you're under warrantee for some electronic gadget, everything comes up butterflies and rainbows. But once you're off the warrantee, fixing a broken Blu-Ray lens on a PlayStation 3 can cost you upwards of $300. Rather than give up on your pretty video game console, why not attempt fixing it yourself?

But don't just grab a screwdriver and dig in. Watch this PlayStation 3 tutorial first to get a very detailed, step-by-step rundown of how to take out your Blu-Ray DVD drive and install a replacement (to save money, purchase a refurbished one). The whole thing should cost you less than $100.

Apple's iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 updates are packed with new features, and you can try them before almost everyone else. First, check Gadget Hacks' list of supported iPhone and iPad models, then follow the step-by-step guide to install the iOS/iPadOS 26 beta — no paid developer account required.
