Help Please PS3 Slim Not Reading Discs
I got a PS3 Slim from a lot of xbox 360's & PS3's & it powers on & everything, it's even on 3.55 FW but it doesn't read discs. When I put in a PS3 game, the disc reading icon just keeps spinning & then I hear a weird sound & then the game gets recognized but when I try to play the game I just see a black screen with stars. Obviously there is an issue with the laser but I don't know what's wrong. Do I have to just clean the lense or is the laser totally shot & I need a new one or is the blue-ray drive totally shot? I opened the blue-ray drive I was able to determine that the model is a KEM-450AAA. Should I buy a new laser that matches this model # or just buy a new KEM-450AAA blue-ray drive? Is the PS3 drives similar to the Xbox 360, in the sense that in order to switch an old dvd drive with a new one, I have to first get the drive key from the old drive, if so how can I go about doing this? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
