(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); i have a ps3 that i have replaced the blue ray drive in it and hardrive and when i go to download a patch it downloads but when it got to install it stops at 42% and give me error code what is wrong with it remember i replaced both the blue ray drive and harddrive im stuck i checked psn code and they have no clue on how to fix it lol

Is it on 3.55 FW? If not, you cannot simply replace the Blu-Ray drive and expect it to work. The console was originally "married" to the original drive. I have a feeling that is your error. Do you still have the original drive? It may just need the laser replaced.

if you still have the original drive just replace the circuit board from the broken one to the new one.

Yup, That circuit board is the logic board, which is actually what is married to the console. That is why the laser is replaceable, and the logic board is not. It can be re-married to a new console that is running CFW.

umm when my phat ps3 drive went out I bought a new drive and replaced the board on the old one to the new one and it worked perfectly.

You are correct. I was posting from my phone with Swype and got nope instead of yup.

oh okay...

I have a ps3 on 3.55 cfw and its missing the blu ray drive the logic board is is hooked up though I can install pkgs fine but when I try to open them they leave me at a black screen until I reboot my ps3. Is it because I need a blu ray drive or the logic board is bad any way to know if board is bad?

Most likely it is only your lack of a drive connected to the board. You can find one on ebay pretty cheap.

Thanks cheapest one I found was $90 for my model with 6 month warranty is that a fair price
