disc drive

I made a post on Reddit showing the issue with video (too large to post here): https://www.reddit.com/r/ifixit/comments/1qtnvsl/ps4_slim_disc_drive_not_properly/ I'll copy the description from the post: <<The rollers seem to be high enough to block the game from being inserted. Also, you can...

Hi everyone, I recently got a lot of 3 PS3s from eBay, and one of them had a broken disc drive. You could hear stuff moving inside but it wouldn't suck in any discs. After opening it up, I saw that it looked like the drive was reassembled incorrectly, so I put everything back in place and got it...

Hello. I have a PS3 Slim CECH3004B. My problem is that loading and ejecting the disc does not work for me. The motor is functional (checked on battery - 3 volts), and so is the tape. There is no short circuit between the plus and minus that goes to the motor (checked with a multimeter on...

Hello friends, I have to repair a KEM 450 Disc drive for my PS3 slim. The issue is that when it pulls the Disc in, it "tries" to read it but the clock just keeps spinning. Then you can hear the Disc drive trying to eject the Disc and the clock stops. Ejecting works normally. When I opened it...

Hey everyone, Im at the bashing my head into the wall phase of troubleshooting. I've got a blu-ray drive that was working as of 2 days ago, but I've been working on the internals of the ps3 and must have messed something up but I cannot find a clear answer. This is a slim 2001b, drive is a...

I haven't had the time to clean or do any sort of general maintenance to this Playstation I acquired today. It is a CECH 2501A model, and has issues playing back game audio on (im assuming considering i tried 8+ retail ps3 games) nearly all disc games (ps3). When i mean "audio issues", its...

So my disc drive can't read ps3 games or blue ray disc in general. What's interesting though is that it can read and play PS1 games and other DVD media like movies. And can detect PS2 games (but boots into a black screen) I'm assuming this is hardware side but I'm unsure. I have a PS3 slim with...

Hey guys, my ps2 laser / disc drive makes weird cracking sounds while reading some games, other games read fine... Is this just a dying laser or is there another problem with the disc drive like the laser touching the disc? I uploaded a video of my console reading a disc for context Another...

So Not sure if it was or not but I have been using opl for awhile now but got a wild hair up my ass and decided to play a game i have on disc. I know the disc works as I played it before installing OPL and FMCB and it wouldn't read at all. I removed the FMCB memory card and my MX4ISO. I have a...

Hi all, decided to come to the experts... I have a ps2 slim, SCPH77004, it has a modbo modchip, unsure of the model but runs matrix infinity v1.93. Im having an issue with disc loading, in the sense that it would take multiple tries for the ps2 to read and recognise the discs (i.e. opening and...

I recently picked up a few faulty PS3 super slim that have an issue reading discs, I've checked that the drive and the laser is not the issue by replacing the full assembly so I'm at a bit of a dead end. I've checked the ribbon cables with a multimeter to look for any breaks or cuts and have...

Hi everyone, I've recently bought a Phat PS3 with a defective disc drive, got it for just 15€. I purchased a new disc drive because I didn't have the expertise/nerves to swap the laser. After installing the new drive with the old controller board the PS3 still refused to play anything, so I...

Hello there, I bought a PS3 CECHA00 Phat from Japan with a BD-400 optical drive that doesn't take discs in. When I insert a disc halfway in, the blue LED starts blinking, so I'm thinking it detects a disc is being inserted in, but the motor just doesn't fire up and doesn't spin up the gears and...

Good morning all, I was wondering if it was possible to find some help or advice in order to get a PS3 Fat to show the DVD movie/Blu Ray movie/Game disc in the XMB. There doesn't appear to be a good reason for the disc not showing up in the XMB. Current Steps taken to try and fix the issue...

So I disassembled my ps3 to put new thermal paste on the chips since it was running idle at 65C on which I reassemble for what I found to be mostly correct however once I got to the disc drive is when my issue had started to occur. I wanted to test the system so I didn't reassemble it entirely...

So I have a PS3 2001A (Slim) And the disc drive has trouble ejecting discs and taking them. So I opened it up and found that the mechanism that pulls in the disc doesn't fully retract. I have tried everything to fix it but nothing works. I have replaced springs losened some screws that where to...
