Hi, i have had this ps3 for 7 months and the blue ray drive stop reading games,dvds,cds ect. it's my second ps3 which happens to be out of warrenty which really pisses me off, because i have to pay sony to fix my ps3 for $150 and who know if i get the same console back.
What happens if this new console i get back fails too, then what, send that back for 150 too. You get were i am coming from, so can you help me out and tell me what my options are. MY ps3 is out of warrenty so i might not have a problem opening it now, because i have a reason to.
I have seen youtube videos on people who have had the same blue ray reading problem as i have, and they have bought a replacement blue ray drive to install in their ps3. I also have read that those blue ray drive don't work on framework updates is that true?
Please get back to me this makes me really sick, because the only reason i bought a ps3 is to play killzone and a month before the release my ps3 fails.

Well if you want to know if you are getting the same PS3 back from SOny if you send it in, just make a note of the serial number at the back of the PS3.
Dont know about the drves not updating from firmware updates though. if they are the same make and model as what the PS3 uses then t should really update, if not then Sony have made it so that you need the orgnal drive that came with it. But this sounds more like locking mobile phones, you can only use the sim of the company that locks it, otherwise you have to pay them for the unlock code.
And this sounds like that Sony are doing, want a fully working blue ray drive if yours fails, pay us the cash.

As far as the Sony $150 repair, I think that you get a three month waranty with that. There is not a problem with you opening your system as long as you do not dammage anything while trying to work on it.

Since you've already taken it apart you've lost the option to send it to sony, they wont touch it if the seal is broken on the back warranty or not. Just a heads up so you don't waste your money on shipping sending it to them only to have it sent back.

WEll my warranty sticker looks perfectly new i not worried about that. They probably don't even look at them. So i am wondering i have bought this drive right but the circuit board for the drive is on the inside and mine is on the outside, But the power and the main motherboard connector fits my ps3 so i am wondering if i will unlock because all ps3 hard ware is the same.

There are different types of bluray drives that went into the ps3 depending on the model, you need the specific type that's meant for yours.

if the drive comes with its own circuit board it will unlock the drive right, the two circuit boards look the same to me .
