hi

i have just got hold of a ps3 from a friend but the blu-ray drive dosnt work. it will accept the disc and take it in but it wont spin i have opened it up and there is nothing blocking it. someone told me to get a new drive but they are expensive i was thinking of just changing the laser and deck as its a lot cheaper. i believe the control board is still fine as it accepts and registers there is a disk and on the screen the clock is spinning suggesting its trying to read.

I WILL ADD REP TO THE PERSON WHO GIVES ME A ANSWER.

Make sure all the cables for the LG Board are tight and connected right.
