  • TYSM!!!! I was going nuts trying to get this working again!!

  • TYSM!!!! I was going nuts trying to get this working again!!

  • mean cheers

    

  • My 40GB Ps3 draws in discs but makes a grinding noise and won't read them any suggestions on how to fix this? Cechh01 i just replaced the laser then all hell broke loose.

  • @MBisFrenchy Make sure everything inside the disc drive is put back properly and not loose. Also make sure you put in the correct kind and amount of screws on the disc drive itself.

  • Thank you! What song is this?

  • hey my motor that is supposed to sense the disc is there and pull it in is not workng is there a way to fix it or do I need to buy a new motor or a new ps3?

  • Help, please. Whenever I insert a disc in, it either wont load or it just freezes. And when its trying to load the disc, I hear this little clicking sound every 2-3 seconds. How do I fix it?

  • thank you!!!!

  • thank you sooooo much dude now i can play my 60GBagain :)

  • Thanks, this worked out. 

  • my gears fell out when i did this please tell me where it goes

  • @aaronthepaperstacker Look to the Right ------> try finding a more Focused and better detailed Vid. might help you find the right place for the gears that fell out.

  • when i was doing this the gears popped out.... four of them where the hell do they go

    

  • thanks!

  • dude... my ps3 can load the disk and all but when the game is going to save itself and such things the whole thing just freeze. u know what it is?

  • @tromos200 I had that problem Ones, i was using a different Hardrive that was messed up. it had some bad sectors, when i tried to install a game ones it got to the bad sectors inside the HD it would freeze. i fixed it by replacing the HD..

  • @tromos200 im pretty sure its the harddrive, you can also delete an older save in ur HD to make room for ur new install, but ur ps3 wont write beyond the bad parts/sectors in the HD.

  • thanks dude!

  • THIS IS THE MOST ACCURATE VIDEO I FOUND YET!!! THX

  • I forgot to unload a disc before opening the BluRay Drive. I was replacing the Laser, and forgot there was a disc in the drive.

    Several clips showed how to remove a disc but this one showed how to "reset" the loading mechanism.

    It took me two attempts and now its working fine.

    Without this I'd be in big trouble.

    Thanks for sharing.

  • This is only thing I didn't try with my ps3 blu ray drive. Thanks for sharing :)

  • thanks dude that helps me a lot! it worked

  • Thanks Dude- you just saved my day :)

  • OMG WOW THANKS!

    MARRY ME!!!

  • thank! resolved my problem!

  • Thanks man this worked perfectly you are a life saver

  • This is perfect, I have been looking for awhile on how to reset the gears after I removed a disc from a YLOD'd PS3 , I fixed my YLOD now I can FINALLY fix the bluray drive , thanks dude :)

  • That bottom piece with the gears...can you show a video on how to put the gears back? they popped out on me while i was taking it apart.

  • THUMBS UPPPPP^^^^^^ thx dude this helped me ALOOOTTT!

  • i have the 250 gb model and when i go to put a disc in it wont grab it atall i can push the disc all the way in and pull it out again without hitting the eject button and it wont even read it. and when i start my ps3 up it sounds like the gears are trying to grab it but it doesnt and just keeps trying until it finally stops. it seems like something that was near thre front of the drive that maby stops the disc from just being pushed in is broken?? can anyone help me lol

  • there were little kids around my ps3 when i wasnt around and im thinking maby its possible one of them forced a disc in?

  • check internal gears for alignment.

  • omg your awesome Im loving you so much right now! lol so yea thanks a lot oh by the way i wished the video could have been in better quality though.

    Thanks Dude !

  • Worked perfectly for me.  Thanks i just replaced the laser and now I can game. Awesome....

  • My PS3 says some strange noises from the drive when booting. It cannot read discs either. When I insert discs, they won't eject again, unless I use the emergency eject. Will this fix it?

    I'm new to the PS world.

  • You are the MAN!!! thank you....

  • I did this because it wouldn't load the game. But after switching the Lens. I can't load the game again? This time the PS3 won't suck it in. :l Any help? Thanks

  • My disc goes in. But it won't load. Like the blue light comes on, and the loading thing in the top right is spinning but no disc load. Please help!!!

  • @VTShootOut I have the same problem. Started today. I'm no expert but from what i know its the Blu Ray Lense/Laser that doesnt read the disc so it doesnt spin it. Try replacing it. Thats best you can do if you donot have warranty.

  • THANK YOU DUDE!

  • Is it me or did that disk not go in the right way round

  • it doesn't work for me. still no spinning! =( Any idees ? =)

  • So it worked, but my disc (s) will only go in partially. I think it is the front two rubber wheels where the disc fits into, like the gears still don't move argg

  • AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME THANK YOU SO MUCH!! THIS WAS EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND BETTER THEN OTHERS ON HERE!

  • @PaCPoD69 That part before u reset the gear on my ps3 that just snaps on/off mine has no screws.i gotta a 60GB model check my newest vid out uploaded today and can u tell me if i need to reset the gears

  • new Laser... the blue light doesnt stay on, laser is not working.

  • @PaCPoD69 hey i have same issue as he does with the disk not reading.....my blue light stays on but no game loads.....i also cleaned my laser....would it be bad drive or laser?....pls reply

  • @PaCPoD69 hey bro i did exactly as you showed and it worked, but when i screwed everything back together my ps3 couldnt read the disk anymore.....what do you think? could it be that the lense got messed up? let me know please

  • with a bad laser the cd wont SPIN/READ. so yeah bad laser. Search ebay pbly 55$

  • i just fixed my bluray lens that wasnt reading disks! haha i thought it was fucked but just rubbed my finger over the lens n Bam!

  • i striped my drive to replace the laser when i had a disc inserted, now its back together theres a white tag thatx stands upright stoping a disc going in. how can i reset it, ive got a late ps3 fat

  • take it apart, make sure nothing is sticking up before putting everything back together.

  • I have the same problem with my ps3 wont read any type of disc hopefully this will fix it thanx for the video

  • ok so all of that helped me out alot i was messing with this thing for 2 days then found this video, solved my jamming problem but now it still wont read the cd or game and wont eject it, just sucks it up and spins the disc then leaves it in there. I think it has something to do with the silver arm on the back of the plastic section with the laser that connects the raising arms but i need a pic of what its suppose to look like thx bro

    sry for the long post by the way :/

  • Damn. I love you. You saved my life. <3

  • Isis this and now when I run on my ps3 it makes a buzzing noise and will not take in my disc at all and if I push it in too far it knows it's their cuz it lights up blue but doesn't eject and doesn't beep at all when I hit eject till I pull it out manually.

  • i need help!!!!my ps3 reads games SOMETIMES but the games get stuck and i slapped my ps3 from the top and now my game is stuck inside when i eject it it makes a clicking noise but stays inside please i need help!!!!!!

    thanks

  • @razaque123 i have that same problem with mine tell me what he told you to do if he sends you a message or something bro thx :)

  • @vexxfalcon he didnt send me a message but i fixed my ps3 myself all you have to do is open the blu ray drive and unjam the two black rods on the sides and also clean your lens with a cuetip hope this helps:)

  • dlw here hay just wont to say thank man my ps3 is working better then ever and that was one ps3 but if you can tell me how to get it to spin on my other ps3 that would be cool thanks so much keep up the good work

  • If you have a bad Laser the cd wont spin.. if the cd gets pulled in, the cd sensor works. but not the laser

  • @PaCPoD69 awesome...I was thinking it was some other problem that my disc wouldn't spin..guess i'm gone buy me a new laser lol ty.

  • This video sorted my ps3 out after i replaced the lens and could not eject .

    so a big huge thanks and a slap on your back for your help buddy much love

  • I just gotten done re-flowing my ps3 because of the yellow light of death followed gilksy how to re-flow it and it works like a charm. But when it YLOD on me a game was in it and the drive would not respond. I ended up taking the disc out manually and found couldn't put anything in. But with your video I was able to fix that issue as well. Thank you so much.

  • @MLGMWizard Wow, that is the exact same thing I did.

  • THANK YOU!!!!!!! i get to play my games now!!

  • hey well my ps3 drive wont let me insert or eject any cds or games how would i be able to fix the proble???

  • it's nice to see that you responded. i opened the drive up to clean the lens and now it wont take discs even if i force it in. when i start the ps3 a blue light lights up inside the drive and it makes a noise. i raised the tray and put a disc in and it started to spin but it still wont read. and since i cleaned it my hard drive games dont work

  • my drive ain't taking discs and it doesn't look like the 1 you have here. i've been told mine is a newer version.

  • @donsargent theres more than one drive for ps3. same principal take something off to remove something, to fix the drive..

  • thnaks for the fix man i was able to get my blu ray drive working again.

  • what song is that you have playing its badass!!

  • My ps3 won't eject cod and it doesn't show that there's even a game in the computer. It just does the beep like when nothings in there. Tried holding down the eject and press it about a million times, still nothing so I decided to open it up like a can of beans to get the game out. The inside of mine is slightly different but I've done what you have done in your video but now back together and on it won't take the disk and the blue light doesn't come on. Do you know what could be my problem?

  • I'm trying to fix my brother's PS3 and this is some scary task to undertake. I might have to do it, though.

    His PS3 sounds like it has a disease. :)

  • hey I just got a new blu ray and cd drive fitted and the games don't show up It takes them in and ejects them. it just doesn't show up on the home screen what should I do?

  • i have a ps3 slim and something fell on top of it and when i power it up the cd drive makes the sound like its trying to pull cd in it then you try to put a game in it wont take it in but if you press the eject swich it will take it in but makes weird noise  but plays the game do you no what it could be thanks

  • Dude all that worked fine for me but i got a problem, when i try to eject i get "click click click click click click click" and no ejection. What went wrong,Got a solution bro? Thanks

  • i not sure but i think, u should open the drive, and redo the disassembly. put it back together and should work.

  • Great video worked for me thanks

  • MONKEY SEE. MONKEY DO!

  • how do u take the disk drive out?

  • search

    ps3 disassembly

  • hi,I was playing a game and it froze,the disc won't eject,so I pressed the inject button for 10 sec and it ejected the disc but now it won't take any disc in,please help(ps3 250gb)

  • same problem as others, disks not reading, not ejecting. my problem as i noticed, the left slider that you popped back into place keeps jamming in my drive, as far as i know, thats why its not ejecting. but as for it not reading or spinning, im lost

  • thanks for gettin back to me so quick....i have another question????

    if my ps3 plays dvds but doesnt read games or blu ray....does this mean i need to replace laser or can i just clean the lens with the lens cleaner.........

  • i really think this is a laser problem, the ps3 laser uses two "modes" one reads Blurays/games the other reads cd/movies.

  • maybe you can help me with this problem im having with my blue ray drive PaCPoD69. I have taken my 40 gig backwards compatible blu ray drive apart in a attempt to clean it. finished the cleaning process and re assembled my ps3 now for some reason, the blu ray drive will not take in any cd roms at all. oh and a aluminum colored strip underneath the blu ray drive did disconnect but i reconnected it and plugged in the plug as well. any ideas on how to repair it? or will i have to get a new one???

  • If you press the eject button and you hear the drive trying to eject, Its not the ribbon cable. theres also a sensor that senses the cd and thats how the cd gets pulled, make sure thats plug in and last gears jammed..

  • thanks for such a quick response. I have made sure that all plugs are in and still whenever I try to input the disc in the blu ray drive it will not go in unless i "force" it and even then wont read it. im wondering if im having a motor problem or something along those lines.

  • oh and where would this sensor be located that you told me about? That could also be a problem that i am having.

  • i pointed out the sensor in the first few seconds of the video. if you pulled the wires too hard the sensor wont work. you dont need to unplug the the sensor to take apart the drive, just flip it over like i did.

  • hi, i problem has just happened with my ps3, i was playing a game and it just froze and now it doesnt load anything, do u have any suggestion and/or answers for this problem???

  • games/movies not loading or freezing is a sing of a faulty laser. b4 u buy a new one, replace ur drive/laser with one of ur friends to see if its the laser. also careful with handling lasers there very sensitive to electro static discharge.

  • ok i used this method and it works great...the only thing is it wont eject the discs back out.......wat is wrong??

  • i think this happened ones. i just disassemble the drive and put it back together, worked

  • What if you had a small dent on top of it cause I have it. Will it still work? I was mad when I got the yellow light and hit it so hard it had a small dent on top of it.

  • Alright so my PS3 was not taking discs before, there was no pull, so I did your fix. Now the discs will go into the ps3 just fine, but they don't load at all. Not DVD, not Blu Ray, not PS1/PS3 games, nothing loads. I just hear the disc spin for a few seconds after inserting it, and then I get nothing. Downloaded games/demos will still work fine but only if there's no disc in the tray. Do I just need a new laser or have I messed something up far worse?

  • Need A new Laser.. 55$ on ebay

  • it helped but..when i started it up it tried to suck up the disc, but now it just stays in the open position????????? and the disc just slides right in???

  • the first piece you take, that has two springs that retract when you pull the cd out.. with the drive open put the cd in and see if they retract. if not check the springs on each side.

  • is it possiable to fix a fryed driver?

  • pbly not with any tools found in a house.. need to replace the laser.. NEW VIDEO UP,

  • Thanks mate!

  • Has anyone worked on the new disc loaders made after 2008. All the vids I came across only work on 1st and 2nd Gen not 3rd Gen models. All the insides are similar but no disc sensor, etc. Totally different. CECHKxx, CECHLxx Models. Thanks

  • oh well thanx m8...... gave me great hope ........ did stop the clicking but now none of the gears work the cd deosnt even slide in any more :( oh well good vid though.

  • if the gears dont move then the drive is still jammed, check the drive again and dont force anything close this includes top cover of drive too.

  • if this works im going to make babys with u

  • so, It WORKED!!! Props for me.

  • oh it works and now lets make babys

  • Does this work if your PS3 doesn't read the disc. Like I put the game in there but it doens't show up.

  • NO your Laser needs to be replace.. you need to know what model to buy... some lasers come with a deck included.. look at the video again to find your laser's model. 1:03

  • my to i put the game in but he doesn't show the disc logo how i can start

  • that what happened to this ps3 Shown in this Vid, i replaced the laser with a different one. as shown in NEW VIDEO. now it works.

  • You do not know how much you have helped me, my situation was;

    I went to clean the blu ray lens

    a game was still inside

    it fell out

    I thought nothing of it and cleaned it then put it back together

    disc wouldnt go in

    tried to mess with it and stuff

    I got annoyed with it and left it

  • I am not gay but I love you so much

  • Really wish you didn't have the music on here. It would be easier to hear what your saying with out it.

  • i hear yah. i just thought more pple would be visual learners. some say "a picture is worth a million words..."

  • this vid helped me fanks

  • hey i tried this but it still wouldnt take it. then when i press eject, it just keeps ejecting when theres nothing in there.

  • i have the same problem i did this and it still wont take discs

  • The One place i would tell you to check is the top cover of the drive, make sure everything moves freely and nothing is jammed or out of place also when putting the drive back together make sure you dont force it close and last thing this video wont fix a broken drive due to broken internal parts.

  • it looks just like your video nothing seems to be broken and the arms move freely nothing seems to be out of place it went back together fine didnt have to force anything it should work but its not

  • well when you start having problems with ur drive, as you seen it this vid, the cd was inside and to reset the drive i did what i did. the reason for this vid was for pple having problems after opening the drive to clean the lens.. not all ps3 drives are the same and this method might not help everybody.
