1st visit to forum...a few questions..

This is my first visit to the forum...a few questions ......

I have a 60G PS3 with a dead Blue ray player,a broken sensor wire (thank to me while dismantling) and a broken clip on the control drive(again,courtesy of me).

1.I'v found replacement DVD drives on ebay to order,and sensor wires also.....
wondering where I would be able to order a clip???
Or any recommendations where to order these parts.(I live in Canada)

2.Can I play "backup' games using an external hard drive even if the drive not functioning???
I'm aware I may have to buy a USB dongle......do these come with software pre-loaded to let you play 'back-up' games???

Any help would be appreceiated...either posted here or e-mail me......

Thanx in advance...

Anyone????

Email the op garyopa. He is from Canada as well and runs a repair business as well

I don't think its possible to play backups/homebrew if you don't have a Blu-Ray drive connected or if its dead, so you have to fix that connector, also, if you do get the laser, you have to use the same BD Drive logic board, the little motherboard that is outside the PS3 Disk Drive, because it is married to the motherboard.
