Hello guys I have a friends slim PS3 that his kids used as a piggy bank.
The question is I have the unit open and hooked up but the BD drive does not spin up or load disks.
I opened it and took all the money out and everything is free to move like the disk transport etc. Nothing is binding or jammed. I tested the plug to the drive and it has 12V to the black wire and 5V to the other outer gray wire. The 2 inner wires are GND. Now when I power up the unit I can see the laser move in and out as to focus but nothing else works the laser tracking does not move from any position I put it in and the spindle for the disk does not spin up either. If you hit the disk eject button you get 3 beeps. If you try to insert a disk nothing happens. Its like no power is getting to the controller board. And I have read you have to keep the controller as it is married to the unit because I thought about getting another laser assembly only but if the controller is dead then it still will not work.
Any help would be very helpful.
Thanks
WES
