from the "remarry thread" swap 400 laser to 410

[CarvinDC125]

Can someone confirm that you can swap say 40gb/80gb ps3 laser drive for a 60gb drive? I want to swap the single laser in my 60gb to the dual laser thats in a 40gb/80gb, I assume as long as you have the logic board that goes with the dual laser this is possible.

put simply is there a way to get a drive from a 40gb/80gb to work in a 60gb?

Do you have both drives in front of you, because the ribbons are different that connect to the ps3 from my experence

for a cheap laser replacement try d e a l e x t r e m *

also can someone confirm that blu ray logic board bmd-021 has the 16meg chip?

after a bit of research it looks like 80gb models were sold with pata and sata, anything over bmd-006 is sata.
