blu ray

Hi everyone, I recently got a lot of 3 PS3s from eBay, and one of them had a broken disc drive. You could hear stuff moving inside but it wouldn't suck in any discs. After opening it up, I saw that it looked like the drive was reassembled incorrectly, so I put everything back in place and got it...

So, while checking out the schematics and datasheets for the mainboard. (I have the CECHG01 btw.) I noticed the blue-ray is handled by a SATA to IDE convertor chip. EEPROM for the blue-ray is handled separately. So, in theory the chip could be pulled and a sata connection could be added through...

Hello friends, I have to repair a KEM 450 Disc drive for my PS3 slim. The issue is that when it pulls the Disc in, it "tries" to read it but the clock just keeps spinning. Then you can hear the Disc drive trying to eject the Disc and the clock stops. Ejecting works normally. When I opened it...

Region 2 NTSC DVDs and PAL Blu Rays work fine, but if I try to play a PAL-format DVD, I get a "Video in the PAL broadcast standard is not supported", is it just not possible to play DVDs on this format on a NTSC console or is there some plugin or app that could do the trick? I'm on the latest...

I have looked for an answer for this issue all over the internet. Unfortunately I have only found a youtube video where someone else has the same issue and the comments confirm others having the same issue. My PS3 Slim DB is constantly trying to eject even without a disc in and it will not...

I first wish to apologize, as I unfortunately made a post about this before in "General Discussion" without realizing the existence of a specific Help & Support section in the forums. My CECH-2001A PS3 gets stuck on a black screen when trying to leave the XMB menu, such as when accessing the...

Hi people. I have issue with my ps3 fat bluray, it was jammed, but i managed to get rail and gears unstuck by unscrewing motor and moving rail to start position. But everytime i put lid on top and try to run disc, it only rotates disc on entrance, but would not take it inside. Thank you all in...

Model: CECHA01 Issue: Blu-ray won't take in disc. No evidence of motor function, just flashing blue LED with disc in the mouth of the drive. No warning messages on boot. Attempted fixes: removed and reset existing drive, swapped control board onto replacement drive, opened PS3 all the way down...

My slim is on 4.82 rebug and for some reason when I turn the system off the BD light stays on and if you restart it without unplugging the console the disc drive doesn't work and ends up freezing the whole system. Any ideas as to what is causing this? I know it's not that big of a deal but I...

Hello! I have this CECHA01 that I've been working on repairing and I troubleshooted everything and came to the conclusion that the board that came with it when I purchased it broken from ebay, was not married to the PS3. It does take disks, it'll read them but nothing comes up on screen. Eject...

The Stages from CCC are always a very good entrypoint to present the newest and latest in Hacking and Security, especially for Video Game Consoles as seen in the past. In fact, last year in 2018, you can probably remember how much Talks we saw for both the PS4 and the PSVita (just in Case you...

I'm using Rebug 4.82.2. I just tried to change some settings to try get PS2 disc to work but ended up copying it into HDD and it worked that way. All of sudden the Blu-Ray drive won't read any original disc of PS3 anymore, it doesn't click in and read when inserting disc. Had copying disc caused...
