I turned on my PS3 last week after not using it for a year because I have yet to finish the games. To my horror, the Blu-ray player no longer reads discs. However, there is a happy ending! This replacement drive worked great! I was able to find a video on the internet and install it myself without much trouble, except for the 'security screws' on the PS3 which can be bypassed with a small flat head instead of buying a special screwdriver.
