Hey everyone:
My two-year-and-a-half-ish old PS3's drive just died. I'm pretty sure it's out of warranty, so I think it's going to be cheapest to replace the drive myself. The drive doesn't sound like it's spinning up with any type of disc, so I believe it's to do with the part that spins the disc, not the sled assembly itself. Does anyone have the rest of the drive assembly, sans sled, that they'd be willing to sell? Does anyone have a matching PS3 with a dead motherboard? If not, any advice on what I should do or experience with PS3 repair? I've done PSP, iPhone and a few other electronic repairs, is it worth trying to fault-find the drive myself (obviously with a disc I don't mind scratching )
