alright, i have an old 40 gig model,, i went out and bought a ps3 slim... i was wondering if its better to buy a whole new bluray drive or what?
The disc wont read...at all... boots up etc all fine.. just the drive deal...

i found a ton of laser asseblys, but no complete drives.. i know about the board being married to the system.. but wondering if anyone knows where to get a complete drive?
or can you pot tweak these things?


i dont want no cheap one neither looking for atleast $80-100 bucks....

Ok well i got it fixed... read around that alot of smokers around the systems, can gum up the lazer lense so i took i tall apart.. cleaned the lense really good.. put it all back togather... works like a charm....
