It didn't read disks when I got it, so I don't know. The black ribbon from the disk drive is bent and torn up pretty good though. The only disks I have to try it is Skyrim and gtaV and theu are both Blu ray. Should I try to find a DVD or cd and check that? And then replace the black ribbon...

My level is very low. Me able to fix the disk tray was a very good progress. I think when you see the picture of my solder you would be sad.. No way I would know what to do with those connectors haha

The amount of stress and anxiety I had through solving this simple fix hahah if I can get a laser and disk reader to work I'll ask you about adding another switch later

I soldered all 6 pins together and now it's working great. The playstation has to be completely turned off to change games but that's the only downside so far. The ribbon is moving, the laser is active and so is the Blu ray laser. It is still not reading disks so I will but a laser/disk drive...

I will be bring it to I'm going to have to get someone to solder it for me so I just want to make sure I get you completely right. He should solder pins 1-2-3 in a straight line and then separately solder pins 4-5-6 in a straight line? Or solder all 6 pins together?

I have one but I don't know how to send it to you on the thread

Yes that is exactly the picture I used. Thank you for reaching out. How do I know which two connectors to bridge?

I pulled the white connector instead of trying to pull the ribbon out.. I'm new to this.. I know I'm an idiot. So now I have no way to re solder it. I live in a small asian country and the stores I have gone to tro try and fix it have been no help.. ebay is 120$ shipping for a new motherboard...

I broke the pins of the optical reader on my PS3 super slim and I would appreciate some help in fixing my mess. I live in Asia so my options are limited, buy another PS3 for 100$(which I don't have) or have a amateur computer repair man solder the pins back in place. When I broke it there were...
