well hello people

I stumbled accross this place in hopes to get some help.
I had my nephew over and he asked if he could play ps3 which i said ok.
Next thing i know my Drive is Jammed with 2 Game disks in it dont know how he managed this. So instead of sending it for warrenty i decided hey lets just take it apart and unjam the games. Well once i took the top of the drive off i found 2 springs inside loose no idea where they came from. Now i cant auto load my games and have no idea where these springs
go.

Now is there any pictures of step by step disasemble of the drive? So i may see where my springs go?

Or Is there a way to just run the ps3 without the top and drive top maybe make a flip lid or somthing?

Anyways hope someone here can help or lead me to the right direction.
thanks

Id say make it look like you didnt open up the console and see if walmart will swap you for a new one. Times like now make you wounder why game consoles dont have multi-disk changers =\
