Haha, no, I actually have a system that would not suck in discs. I took it apart and it plays them just fine... As long as I don't hit the eject...
I'm assuming you reset the drive after you took the disc out of the unit?
If it gets stuck in a blu ray or game loading screen, it is likely the hard drive, not the lens at all. To check, back up your saves and such onto...
I never mentioned anything about testing. I was actually replacing a laser and after replacement i noticed the bubble was missing on screen......
That's actually a bit what I was getting at. Bending it with a ribbon is unlikely if not impossible, but he was testing voltage. I'm assuming he...
Awesome to hear about the laser. Keep us posted, but yeah, the worst part of the wait and see is out of the way for sure. As for the electrical...
Sounds like it. Boards are like $26, but obviously paying the 26 is the easy part, because then you have to remove the firmware chip on your board...
If the other two are YLOD and you don't feel like fixing them, just bring one of the drives with the sisterboard from one of the YLOD systems to...
That motor very infrequently goes bad, and if you have tried a different drive on the system with no luck, chances are it isn't the motor or the...
Lol I actually have a system that does the same. It currently does not have a top to the drive and I place games in it. It is my personal system,...
Yeah, paying for return shipping is extremely annoying, but unfortunately there isn't a whole lot that can be done about that. I have eaten many a...
Whichever is fine. I just thought I would throw it out there. I plan on making an order eventually anyways, but if there was enough demand for it,...
Jkaki: The laser and drive itself have nothing to do with it not reading blu ray or PS2 games. That is soly on the back of the motherboard, which...
That is exactly what they did lol. All of my lasers and anyone elses lasers come from China. As for the length of operation, I don't know yet....
I have purchased from gaingame before through EBay. Two lasers I believe back when I was first getting started. Their product wasn't bad, but the...
Nah, to be honest, these lasers ALL only have a shelf life of about a year. It's only partially Sony's fault. In buying new lasers, EVERYONE is...
Sorry, been away for a few. There are only 2 types of lasers. If you post your model number, I will tell you the type you need to buy. KEM is...
That was just a coincidence. Dust and heat are actually what cause this problem. My recommendations are to keep it on its side so that the airflow...
Which thread was this? I am a hardware guy that would love to learn more about the software for S***s and giggles
Basically YLOD is a solder problem with the CPU and or GPU caused by heat. The solder loses connection to the main board. Despite what some may...
