Re: Blu-Ray Disk Reader Is Busted

Gentlemen,

For rougly $60-70 you can buy a PS3 Blu-Ray Optical Laser. You can do this if you want/need a quick fix. Its a very simple installation procedure...

Well actually all you have to do is:

1. Obviously open PS3.




2. Unhook the Blu-Ray Drive

3. Open the Drives Chasis (Same as any DVD Drive Dissembely)

4. Take off the top layer to reveal laser. (Pic of Regular DVD-R/W Drive)


5. Unscrew the small screws on each corner of the laser & carefully disconnect the small data ribbon.


Now just do the reverse to put all back to geather... DONE! :D
