I think it might have been a HDD issue, as i suspect it was quick formatted before it was sold to me. I ended up ignoring the problem for the moment and just downloading tons of ps3 games filling the HDD, and now it miraculously works! I don’t know but maybe the ps3 was reading some left over...

I have this problem, i will try formatting in my pc but i doubt that will fix it as i think i had this issue before installing cfw… i bought this ps3 slim second hand and theres burn marks on the broken and burnt out bluray drive. I think maybe something set on fire? Lol but anyway where the...

My PS3 disc drive was damaged from heat. The disc drive is near the part of the motherboard where the controller connects to. Hopefully it isnt a damaged motherboard causing this because I dont really want to be soldering to fix it, but it isnt the controllers because i have another ps3 and...

Yep, i have tried this, also my ps3 is a slim. It seems to happen on all my official controllers… once they’re synced, they work normally. But i just can’t reliably get the controller i use to remotely start the console to sync everytime, id say about 80% of the time it just flashes until i...

Hi again, Tried 2 different controllers and it does the same thing, it was doing this before i installed evilnat 4.88.2 aswell. I have the exact same model ps3 full of spare parts if i have to use them to fix it. Weirdly, i can use one controller to turn on the console, and then when that...

Ok so i replaced the whole caddy thing with the laser block on and it works! Weird though, the only other pcb in the drive would be to control the feeding mechanism, so is that the pcb the ps3 marries to?? Doesnt make any sense to me. But i wont complain Thanks a ton bgeurville uve made my day...

Its the KEM-450 DAA laser block thingy, ive got this in my hand now https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KEM-450DAA-Optical-Drive-Lens-Head-for-PS3-Game-Console-KEM-450DAA-with-Deck-/284721710275?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 is there any parts on this i need to...

Thanks dude, you’re the man! I’ll try just replacing the laser block part i guess, hopefully the pcb attached to it isnt the part thats married??? If that fails, ill have to do the remarry procedure, im on evilnat 4.88.2, will i have to update to a No BD version and if so will i lose anything...

I’ve been researching this all night but not found much on it. i have 2 ps3 slims. Model cech-2503B . Date code 1A. They are both the same model and have the same bluray drive FX72-P the one with the 4 different ribbon cable connectors to the main mobo. I tried cleaning the lasers on the...

And then i could upgrade back to 4.88.2 evilnat right? Anyway am just curious but i think ill stick to the good old fashioned redownload everything approach Thanks for all the info, I appreciate that

I have 2 ps3 slim CECH-2503B date code 1A, both the exact same 320gb model running evilnat 4.88. I broke the last one with all my games and homebrew on trying to delid the rsx. To save myself time reinstalling the games and homebrew, can i just swap the HDD’s? Or will the new PS3 detect a...
