  • This worked for me. Thanks.

  • Thanks alot man, really helped me here. I greatly appreciate your time and effort spent on this :) :D 

  • OMG thank you!!! you helped me out so much!!!!thank you!!!

  • Thank you for taking the time out of your day to do this video. I was able to use it today to get a netflix DVD out of my YLOD launch day PS3. Much appreciated!

  • Thank you so much, I tried your reflow but it didnt work. Thankfully I did this and got my GT5 out.

  • hey i really need help, i have a KEM-410 blu ray model and when i try out disc in the gears dont spin, please help me

  • i fav'd so when i get my slim..i know what to do

  • how small should the screwdriver be?

  • this worked for me. thank you so much

  • thanks very helpful. couldnt get a small screw driver that opened this thing up...l.a noire still stuck in there since day of release :\

  • My ps3 won't suck in discs anymore like its supposed to.................

    I'm pretty sure its because of the ribbon cable connecting the blu ray drive to my PS3 that is busted. The clip that holds the thing down is busted and some of the metal clippings on the cable connector is busted too. If I want to fix this how do I do it? Is the entire cable busted? Do I have to replace the laser mech since the connector is part of that? PLEASE HELP!

  • google is your friend

  • damm, my drive is way different, it´s the 60gb. I could follow your tut all the way until i had to slide those two tracks, it didn´t slide it just flipped but only one track did. The other one won´t move.

  • i found a way how to fix a broken ribbon cable clip, if you still have the clip part simply place the ribbon cable in the slot and then wedge the clip back in place and tape it down. if that doesnt work then the method where you put something to apply pressure also works.

  • the left slider wont go up, its stuck somehow, do u know how to fix it? please help thanks

  • Effin GREAT. I couldn't figure out that slide maneuver...you saved me over 300.00 man!!

  • Thank you so much!

  • my game got stuck in my disc drive....i did not take it apart to get the disc all i did was took a old disc and shoved it in and pressed the eject switch at the same time i was putting the disc in,as i put the disc in and pressed the eject switch the disc came out...it might work for you..

  • Thanksss :)

  • FUCKING YLOD R.I.P 2006-2010 Ps3 60GB

  • u can fix the rubing cable by puting tape but its hard to do

  • Hi there.. thanks for this.. you are the same guy who taught us how to fix the YLOD in another video. Question: I did the procedure of the YOLD and worked fantastically, but lasted for 2 months.. then one day.. again.. YOLD... opened it up again.. fixed again.. and all good.. this time.. lasted for 1 week. Now, YOLD again, went for my 3rd.. but this time no fix.. whole procedure and turned on YOLD. I tried again just in case.. and still YOLD.. is this the end of my PS3 60g?

  • @santiagocii i got the YLOD 6 times on my old ps3 and if i decided to get it up and running it will still work but probs get it again after a while. lol so it will still work unless you damaged it.

  • thanks for the video

  • 80 gig early versions I got it n got ylod . Have do do this

  • do i have to remove that little wire

  • so is it going to work on PS3 60GB reading ps2 and ps1 games ?

  • excelent video! SUBSCRIBING

  • So I just got the YYLOD and took my Blu Ray drive apart following this video because i had a rented game in there I needed to get out asap. I just got my console reflowed today but have been having problems with my disc drive ever since.

    I followed this video precisely but my PS3 accepts discs but will not eject them, it seems to think there is no disc in the drive. The drive also makes a sound similar to a vacuum cleaner when I eject or start the console.

    Any ideas what might be wrong?

  • @t3hmauler Reflowed?

  • @t3hmauler i have the exact same problem.

  • Just got YLOD yesterday and gave the 'force eject" way a go. First flip the power switch in the back off and now hold the eject button down and flip the switch on. It should work if not retry the force eject. My ps3 spat out the disk on the 4th attempt.

  • @TylursVideo yeh, i have the same problem. When you turned back on the back switch, did you then press the red switch, or did you press the eject button while the light was red??

  • @probulator1 Hold down the eject button while the switch is off then once you flip the switch, keeping holding down the eject button and youll hear a loud fan noise and give the system a couple seconds and it might spit out the disc.

  • @TylursVideo k cheers man, unfortunetly it didnt work, but i get what you mean, ill give it another few goes tomorrow

    Thanks 4 deh help..i miss medal of honor :(

  • I know i've commented on your other video but i need your advice.

    I have a 40 gig ps3 and i have a WORKING ps3, which i fixed by the help of your videos.

    Anyways, my disc is stuck in my ps3 and i can't get it out by pressing the button or by doing the fan test, so do you suggest me to do this, or is there some other way to get the disc out from a working ps3?

  • Very helpfull video for a lot of people, and I'll bet a lot of us has had a disc stuck, at some point.. And your right, you can't force the disc out with the older PS3 models.. Actually, my own PS3 is long gone due to it's 4'th YLOD, and my disc is in fact stuck, but If I see the inside of a PS3, it'll been to soon.. Mine is beyond repair as I see it..

    Helpfull, no nonsense videoguide, great stuff..

  • Cool video, they should have one of those little holes beside the disc player where you can stick a pin in to eject the disc

  • great vid bro

  • First comment! :)

    Very nice video.
