I mentioned that I can help for a fee. Take it or leave it.
As far as I know, doing it through MI Digital (swap out) also incurs a courier fee if you're not in Gauteng (seeing as you can drive to them in JHB).
You can also take it up with MS, as I've heard they send consoles (RROD) to Europe (repair centre) at their own cost. Might apply to a laser replacement.
