(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Its a Fat PS3 40GB Firmware 3.70 the fault with the disc drive is that it wotn take any discs in at all,

The ps3 turns on and gets to the screen where you choose your profile but i cant get past that as i have no controller >.<

Looking for around £60+ PayPal hit me up if you are interested PayPal and UK only guys. Also if i find a controller ill let you know and i can check the firmware

Will post pictures if someone wants to buy it.

If I lived in UK I would buy it for sure if i were you I would put it on eBay or a site like that because I fix PlayStations and replacing a blu ray drive is about the easiest thing to do so you should still get good money for it.

When you say "The ps3 will not take games", does this mean that it won't read discs, or they won't actually go into the PS3? If it's that they won't go into the PS3 - chances are, are that it's a small motor that's burnt out that pulls the discs in as such..

But as kman said, try selling on eBay. You might get more money that way. :p.

So it will still play the games? Because being the phat PS3, I think that there's like a motor which sucks the games in as such.. If that's the case, I think either the motors burnt out, or it's just broken.. Look for a fix online and try to sell the PS3. Will get more money that way :y:
