I have a slim ps3 that would not eject, i manually got the game out. It appears though that drive does not work at all, when i turn the ps3 on the drive lens does nothing and trying to put a game in, it wont suck it in automatically.

I have not done a ps3 yet so im not sure why its not even working at all?

Maybe your Tray sensor is damaged. If it is damaged it will not recognize that you are trying to insert a disc in the drive and it will do nothing.
