Hi guys has anyone experience issues after opening there blue ray drive?? after opening mine i cant get the disc to go in and like sit on the spindle it seems of course... has anyone ever experienced this or know any other forum that might be helpful for this??
not many people on this forum with the knowledge of the ps3 is there, actually kinda finding it hard to get info anywhere.
sorry if offense was taking there, i had no malicious intent i was just stating that it seems hard to find info any where on the topic, sorry about that man.
No offense taken, i know there are a couple of people on this forum capable of answering your question, i however cant So just be patient, im sure someone will answer it soon.
oh you reckon, least thats a glimmer of hope the most common response i see is- "bring it to sony", you aint going to learn much that way atleast if you attempt your self ya get better at understanding the complications.
If you have the Phat, there are two gray arms that pull the disk in and align the disk as it pulls it in. These arms are easy to get out of track if the lid was pulled off on the disk drive. Check the arms to make sure they are still in their track. Watch Mike's video. About 1 minute and 40 seconds into the video, you will see the proper operation of the arms. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIg6rFSpswc
thanks man seen this but unfortunatley my drive is slightly different obviously principal being the same but it seems to be in line but just wont sit in position.
Wont try to drop into position or wont align while dropping into position? edit: i see that you say it is aligned. It wont attempt to drop?
basically the drive looks pretty ok going off vids on youtube but when i leave the black casing on it and trying to put disc in it takes it in but doesnt land it on the spindle- although if i hold a little pressure on the casing it slots it in some times but not all times??
Marine Mike (the maker of that video) hangs out on blu-ray.com and has some solutions that may help you out. Seams he would focus more on the White arms on top. http://forum.blu-ray.com/blu-ray-games-playstation-3/35895-tips-tricks-fixes.html
yes thanks, i have resolved this one, and you are right it is based on top part of drive, the white pieces on top are spring loaded (except for one) so each go in to proper position when drive is assembled together, the one without the spring action needs to be manually placed in its slot and off she goes perfect- although ps3 is still broke the disc dont spin but assume this needs new laser. thanks for help guys.
