Note: If you can update to cfw then your logic board is good (the board connected to your blu-ray drive).
With that being said:
1. Try seeing if you can play dvds/cds/games, if not then your laser is broken.
IF YOUR BLU-RAY DOES NOT WORK YOU CAN NOT LOAD HOMEBREW.[/B] The Dev_Bluray function is called before launching media/apps in the xmb.
2. If broken check the model of your playstation and compare with chart below:

You must login or register to view this content. they are 100% new and working for a lot less than you would buy on ebay. Plus you can get the drive and laser for under $50.
