To think I spent a month and many hours trying to figure out what was wrong with my disk drive, only to find that the pivot arm was loose... Saved me a boat load on repairs. Thank you, sir.

That was like the one video I tried filming using a Flip camera. It really suffered in terms of quality. I should have used my actual camera and a tripod. Sorry about the poor video quality, and good to know people are still benefiting from the know-how in these videos today.

thanks for this and the other drive repair vids =) i dismantled my entire ps3 console since it was broken (disk read error) after cleaning more than once (final time with match stick wrapped in toilet paper) before it would not fix by cleaning - big surprise no? so i realized i should change the laser unit and did - needed to reference your vids for the gear/cog positions for the loader and some other stuff - thanks again - all the best - peace.

This is certainly an alignment problem. You'll want to make sure the left arm is free of the gear at the front of the drive when the drive is in the "ejected" position. If it isn't, remove the small transport motor and push up on the left arm until it's free from the gear train. (There will actually be a gap when it's properly freed.) Then reinstall the transport motor and it should (hopefully) be fixed.

@819Mgr If the right arm moves but the left one doesn't, it could be that the pivot arm on the back is improperly installed, or maybe the rack on the left arm is engaged with the gears on the bottom of the left arm that lift the transport up.

hey there, my ps3 got the YLOD, and i got a cd stuck in there. so i took the drive apart and got it out manually. i followed your guides to re-assembly, and its not taking cds in at all anymore. i try to put a cd into the drive and its not sucking the cd in, but it feels like it can still be placed inside.I was curious if the YLOD prevents the ps3 from even taking cds in at all, or is it something did? a response would be great and could save me some money when i get it repaired!

@JoseAlbertoPR I haven't seen these parts available anywhere. It seems that PS3 parts places just stock the laser hardware and a few other parts for the drive if you're lucky. For all it's worth, ebay may be a better place to look.

@themusicvideoperson This sounds like something is still not quite right in the transport alignment, so it could be that the left arm is still too far down and touching the gear train. This would cause the transport to raise up too early and make the disc jam inside.

Running a CECHA model Fat PS3 and had a jammed drive (credit card instered by a kid). Followed these wonderful instructions, first attempt released the drive and it accepted and ran a disc but jammed attempting to eject. Second attempt it will now accept and eject discs but will not recognize the presence of a disc. Think I may have damaged the grey switch on the transport motor board that touches the right transport arm. I'm assuming I need to replace that motor and board but need assistance finding where to find it. Any assistance would be appreciated!

Hi, thanks for the vid. I tried putting the drive back together, but I still get the machinegun sound. The left arm is trying to move down and the laser is to rise up, put the gear flips over for some reason. Any idea what could be jamming? If I remove the front disc insertion mechanism, everything moves smoothly. The disc insertion mechanism also moves smoothly. If anything is not clear, I can upload a vid for you. Thanks in advance!

The most likely cause is that the top is not properly aligned. See my "optical drive top" video for the specifics. If the top isn't lined up right, the disc will never be centered so the spindle can clamp it.

i ordered a whole new drive minus blu ray controller to replace my old broken laser just to be sure. it came with a disconnected pivot arm and i spend hours figuring out what was wrong. also the whole thing is so extremely flimsy especially the springs will come of and fall apart on themselves. but hey thanks for the heads up on the pivot arm cant believe it took so long to find someone who mentions ALL the vital things cos i had ALL of these problems. hopefully my launch ps3 will give me some more years now since there is nothing to play on my ps4...

if the disc loads onto the spindle, but does not spin, does that mean the mechinism could be mis alligned? seems like the laser wont read instead, but does the blue light (on the laser) as startup of the console, im told this means the laser is working correctly, trying to figure out why my discs wont read (cechg03 40gb fat model)

I had a used game I purchased, got home, played it, tried to eject it and it wouldn't come out. I opened the ps3 and when I removed the magnet I realized it had glue around the ring from a rental sticker the prior owner or shop removed. I had to open it with the disc inside, when I took it out the (unable to slide it) the presure popped the limbs back in to default position and a small spring 1/3rd an inch came out. No hooks, very plain, I am unable to locate where it goes. Please, help.

I got a quiestion, today when i turned on my 160g ps3 console, it began to make a noise like when you inser a disc, but i wasn´t inserting any disc neither had any disc inside. I reset pressing 5 seconds the ejection button, but every time I turn it on makes the same noise, but after that, you can insert any disc and it reads any disc with no problem at all. Do you have any idea, what can be?

white piece easily found in 8:45of your vid. the white arm that is located on the inside of the top cover. not the two main arms but the little white one on the right by your thumb that has to move up out of the way for the right main arm to move. this piece on my ps3 is causing me a couple issues and i know this because i can manually move it while its running and everything works. first problem is it rubs on the disc when inserted and makes a bad sound, also does not let disc read. why?

I think it's far more likely that your laser unit is going bad with age. There aren't any (accessible) laser adjustments like there were for the PS2.

I've got spin, reading, and ejection, but it just won't accept discs. I've been trying my hardest to replicate yours, as it appears to be the exact same unit. It happened after a forced eject. After multiple reassemblies, I still have full functionality except for taking discs. I've realigned the metal arm and hooked it into the two plastic levers. I've set the entry wheel assembly in the no disc config. I've made sure that nothing white is hiding in the holes, and that the white plastic assembly snaps into place the same area that yours do. I simply cannot think of anything else to do. Your help would be much appreciated.

@joenemo651 Make sure the plastic top is installed properly. See my "optical drive top" or "revised emergency eject" videos for how to verify this. The disc is probably just sitting in there and spinning around at this point.
