Tl;dr: - Make sure you have the T8 bit - YouTube video can be found if you search for the last part of the URL 10 years and 140 hours later I was about to get my first platinum trophy. It's not that I don't play or win games, it's just that I've completed most of my achievements on Xbox. I met the last of the conditions required for platinum, the screen went black and then. Nothing. Brother, the Blu-ray drive broke. It wouldn't stop me. Did a little research, came across Revain, ordered it. It…

That didn't solve my problem. I moved my daughterboard to this from my old drive and installed this on my PS3. It reads DVDs but not Blu-ray discs or games. I don't need a glorified DVD player. It's not clear if the new drive is defective or if the problem is somewhere else in the system, but it behaves differently than the old drive. The old drive sometimes reads Blu-Ray and sometimes DVD. This reads DVDs very stably and has never read Blu-ray discs or game discs. You will need a tamper-proof…

An excellent replacement drive. If you carefully read/look at all the instructions that come with it, it won't take more than 30 minutes. Due to the detailed video provided, no technical knowledge is required. A moderate (14+) number of screws will be your only problem. I would recommend.

The Blu-ray Disc in my PS3 Slim failed, which somehow damaged my hard drive at the same time. I made many attempts to repair the hard drive but none of them were successful so I had to reformat and lost all my saves (including hundreds of hours of Skyrim!). (For reference, Monty Python and the Holy Grail Blu-Ray disc destroyed my Blu-Ray drive and hard drive. Coincidence or not, I don't know.) Once the hard drive started working again, I discovered that the Blu-Ray drive has stopped working…

The disc on my PS3 started going crazy, couldn't read games or Blu-ray, had to reinstall the disc several times to fix it she worked . able to replace the drive with a conventional screwdriver. The washer includes a torx screwdriver. The ifixit site will help disassemble and remove the old drive. Next you need to remove the metal case and install it on a new drive. There are no instructions on the ifixit or Nextek website, but luckily it's not that hard. There are 3 screws on one side and 5 on…

When I first got this drive I had to remove the logic board from my old one to get it working properly. After that, the drive made a loud groaning noise when trying to read the disc, but couldn't. After disassembling it and inspecting the drive, I noticed that one of the guides that the laser deck slides on was turned the wrong way round. This caused the deck to freeze when attempting to read the disc. This was a relatively easy fix, I had to bend one of the locking tabs and then insert the…

I fixed this for my Unc because he was complaining that his PS3 recognizes games but doesn't read them. When you try to start the game, you get an error code that causes the game to close automatically. There are many parts in a game console so I figured it would be a disc reader. It's important to remember that this replacement drive MUST either be flashed or you will remove the circuit board from the (current) problematic drive. otherwise it will not be played/read. Luckily I've repaired some

In the past my PS3 Slim had issues with stuttering and even random freezes in some games, but for the first time it actually crashed while playing multiple Blu-ray movies (the first 3 Indiana Jones movies) - each of them stopped playing at different running times, but constantly at those moments). Buying a new drive seemed like the best and cheapest option, and the process of replacing that drive wasn't too difficult (mostly removing/replacing screws, cables, and covers). There is a document in

My PS3's disc drive started clicking on some discs and didn't recognize them until they were ejected and re-inserted - sometimes 15/20 times So got it i have tried replacing it with this one. I used to easily replace a disc in my Xbox 360 and had to replace the controller card just like PS3. However, this drive is much more delicate and when trying to swap out the controller I damaged the ribbon cable connector. I ended up locking it in place, but it's entirely possible that it will be moved at
