So last week i suffered the dreaded YLOD...bit of reading, found out the likely cause of the issue...decided to attemtp a reflow as it is a 2007 PS3...well out of warranty...and it was a great success...couldn't have worked more perfectly...PS3 now turns on and everything was as before...
Except i now seemingly have a BLU RAY Drive issue
For information purposes..
Console - 40GB CECHH03
Drive - KEM-410ACA (dual laser)
When i first put everything back together, the console turned on, all worked, but the drive then wouldn't accept any disks...
I took it apart, had a play around...reset the mechanism...managed to get it to accept and eject discs, but wouldn't read anything..
Took it apart again, put it back together more carefully, and it now accepts and ejects discs, recognises the disc, reads the disc, but as you select the game/film in the PS3 menu, the motor spins up to full speed and then cuts out completely...the disc slows down to a standstill and the PS3 turns itself off after about a minute and resets to just the background of the user menu...no icons...
Does anyone at all have any idea what might be causing this issue...?!?! I'm loathed to think it is the laser, as it does recognise the discs and their content, just for some reason cuts out when it spins up
I'm not an idiot and can make my way around most of the system, so any advice on what to do, or how to fix it...would be really really appreciated
