Post by: MattZani on September 14, 2008, 04:47:59 AM: New PS3, or a New Blu-Ray Drive, MAY fix the problem.

Post by: ProperBritish on September 15, 2008, 08:41:15 AM: cos it could be the blu-ray disc drive controller chip couldnt it? if thats gone its a new mobo, so you might as well get a new PS3.

Post by: MattZani on September 15, 2008, 11:17:49 AM: Ahh yes, Best Case is its the Drive, Worst case is the Mobo, $100 and you get lucky, or $400 and you have one that doesnt play games.

Post by: MattZani on September 15, 2008, 02:12:57 PM: Processor is pretty much bullet proof yes, but only because of cooling, the BR Chip is a Dozen for a Dime, and likely to fail.

Post by: MattZani on September 16, 2008, 10:42:01 AM: Lol, i doubt the OP will be able to do that, i doubt 99% of AM could do that.

Post by: MattZani on September 21, 2008, 03:34:26 AM: But, a high risk and high skill job will usually cost atleast $100, with a low success rate, and ofcourse, it may not even be the problem.

We dont even know if the BR Controller is available, as Very few PS3 Parts are off the shelf, and the Chip would have been programmed t control a certain type of BR Drive etc.

Post by: Bhawan on October 09, 2008, 03:01:21 PM: its just the drive...... sony started using low quality lenses on their ps3 BD drives to reduce the cost.... only the 60gb ones had superior quality lenses.
and also in the newer ps3s sony has started using two lenses.... one for dvd/cd other for BD ...........make sure to change the correct one(applies if ur has 2 lenses)...
