Hi, I need help with troubleshooting a Card Reader Cover Flap on the front of a PS3 60GB.

I've just repaired one but it was my first with a flap. When putting it all back together I found a spring on the floor. I was wondering if it belongs to the PS3 cover and operates the flap - helps it stay up/open. At the moment the flap opens and closes but wont stay up/open by itself. Should it?

If it should stay open by itself, could someone take a look inside their own and let me know how/where the spring is supposed to fit - if the spring does belong to the PS3!

Thanks.

flap should stay up on its own, if you open the PS3 casing again, you should be able to see one spring still attached, so refit the loose spring at the other end of the flap hinge

Thanks. I've checked the casing and there is no other spring. Where should it fit?

An image would help greatly, thanks.

Thank you.
