Im guessing im just gonna pay 20 bucks more and go with a complete drive instead of just a new laser. Are these just "plug and play" style.....no messing with drive keys like an Xbox uses? Can i just take it out and replace with same model and have it working?
The Blu-Ray drives are married to the ps3 so you can't just take another blu-ray drive and plug it in and expect it to work.your best bet is just change out the laser! or you gotta do a bunch of other work. Shown herehttps://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,39158.msg294482.html#msg294482 some you have to change 2 chips on the blu-ray drive.
correct me if I'm wrong but the blu-ray drive can be swapped as long as you attach the old drive's PCB board to the new drive since the PCB contains all the keys and stuff.again I could be wrong and it might be diff for diff models
