Yeah but i used the old blu ray drive's daughterboard onto the new One. but regardless i also tried the old drive with new lens and still didn't work I've Heard that you can use syscon also for this type of issues Is that true?

Hi guys, I bought a PS3 that doesn't read discs anymore a CECHKO4 model with CFW installed (don't remember the versione because i installed OFW) because I wanted to try to fix it. So I bought another PS3, model CECHL04, (still had the warranty seal) with YLOD (non-backward compatible) to use its...

Hi @kadorna2 it's been a while. I replaced the lens of the ps3 but the disc still spins but doesn't get read. at this point I've ran out of ideas :( what do you think?

Thanks @kadorna2 for the replies Can i ask what's the limiter switch? The PS3 picks up discs and the light turns on so i think that It recognizes the disk Is inserted? The PS3 doesn't read nothing not even dvd's but Is there any way to test if the problem are the lens or the slide motors? The...

@kadorna2 i actually did update the console to remove the cfw and It worked so i tried this to confirm my theory so it's definitely somthinf with the lens or the slide what should i buy Just the lens or the slide?

@kadorna2 so to verify you theory i tried to install the OFW without the BD drive installed and It gives me the "checking... please wait" infintely so that's what you meant for update loop? I tried reinstallinf the same version btw

@kadorna2 so It doesn't even update the firmware? Even when you update It from a USB drive?

@kadorna2 the fact Is that I'm trying to repair the BD drive because i don't have a digital game library when i bought the PS3 It had cobra ferrox installed and when i removed the BD drive the console booted to the XMB (as far as i know without BD drive It doesn't even boot in the XMB) So i...

The problem Is that the BD drive from the YLOD PS3 gas a 24 PIN connector but my PS3 has a 60 PIN so i can't swap the daughterboard So if the daughterboard Is dead It won't even let me launch any installed games from the main menu? @kadorna2 the fact Is that i can't test It because the Logic...

Hi guys, I bought a PS3 with a non-working Blu-ray drive, a CECHKO4 model, because I wanted to try to fix it. So I bought another PS3, model CECHL04, (still had the warranty seal) with YLOD (non-backward compatible) to use its Blu-ray drive as a replacement. I replaced it using the logic board...

No i actually reused the daughterboard from the previous BD drive as the one from the drive that i pulled from the CECHLO4 had a smaller connector What do you think Is the problem? The disk spins and never stops so It can't be the lens right?
