(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); okay, so I have my ps3 (second one) which has a busted bluray drive.. I used it to jailbreak & install packages etc, but now I want to get a BR in to start working on modded nazi zombies Happy
this is a 40gb model, so it has a 60pin connector

I tried switching it with my other PS3's bluray, only to see that the 160gb model had a smaller connection cable.. /facepalm

If anyone here has ever opened a 60gb model (someone must have :p ) can you pls make a photo or confirm that the bluray connecter is the same as in 40gb model ?? Cause i can get a YLOD 60gb very cheap (the BR should be fine, right? )

thx in advance !

You need to replace the laser in your busted drive. There is a key on the drive that must match the key on the system. It is not retrievable nor flashable at this moment.

Moved to ps3 section.

If i replace the board attached to the working bluray with the one from the busted, shouldn't it work just fine then ?

I saw a movie on youtube (someone posted it here) showing how to replace the drive (not just laser)
or is that bullsh?

anyway, thx for answering Smile

edit:
here's the movie
