The PlayStation 3 Slim is the second version of the PS3 video game console with the original model number CECH-2000. Produced by Sony Computer Entertainment it fixed many issues of the original (fat) Playstation 3. It was released on September 1, 2009.

Disk Drive Won't Even Register Disks

I've been trying to get my ps3 slim running again. Opened it up, cleaned it out, replaced thermal paste, etc. It read disks before but would freeze, then it wouldn't read, register, or even spin disks. I replaced the laser module and ribbon cable, and it still won't work.

all it does is takes in the disk, re-seats it, and then just sits there.

Did I miss something or break something?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi there!

It could be many things. I would replace the laser deck (completely) and check again.

If the same issue comes up, I would replace the whole drive and see how that goes.

Just wondering, does it do the same thing with Blu-ray movies?

Before you opened it, everything did work, right?

Make sure that all the ribbon cables are 100% connected.
