Which is odd, because all the computers I've been around and worked on are usually temperature-trigger based. After I dropped a faster processor...
There's a few movies that I've had an interesting time getting to work in my 40GB. I solved mine by launching a PS3 game, then quitting and...
If it does come out in the same position, it means the motor isn't spinning. This doesn't necessarily mean a problem with the motor, as from what...
That was my theory that seems to hold. The dual laser, while the blu-ray one dies, the regular red laser still works. The single one, once one is...

While I really should just do an ebay store for this, when I thought my problem was the ribbon, I purchased an 8-pin 2" flex cable from Digipen...
Yeah. Figured that out a few hours after posting. Got it by putting the drive loader gears in the "loaded" position. Got that part working, but...
