well I've put the old one back in and it's still not playing the game, it mostly just comes up as LOAD and keeps the CD or DVD turning no matter what (I presume because the software doesn't see it step on to the next function, ie menu) anyway the only way to get it to do anything is to eject the disc or change the function, which sometimes does and sometimes doesn't do anything (mostly it just sits there turning) sometimes the OPU does try to look for the start but never finds it and gives up after a couple of attempts (strangely it slows to a stop and then if it feels like it, has another go at spinning up and searching).
Ocasionally it doesn't even try to load the disc, it neither turns or tries to read, I did notice the laser stays on sometimes when I have to eject it when it's just turning (the screen is saying LOAD but the OPU isn't trying to track or anything) so I presum eit is indeed stuck trying to do something.
I've had another go at prodding and waggling all the connections I can see, thinking it may be a power issie to do with the player?, no luck though.
Suggestions??
