I just bought an old broken console off ebay, was surprised to see that there were no red rings, what happens however is that I will put a game in a it wont read, I can hear the drive starting up and spinning the disc, it just wont read. Anybody got any suggestions or should I just buy a new drive? Thanks in advance

You can try cleaning out the drive and laser. If that does'nt work I would just get another drive and flash it.

You're pretty lucky because the drive still powers up, so you can still get the key from it and flash it to another drive.

if you find that the drive is damage, you can always swap it with a new one.

I wouldn't throw it away just yet. Try a POT tweak or there is also another tweak that gets the laser closer to the disc.
