Hi.My brothers 40 gig ps3 phat packed in yesterday while i was playing it so im left with the guilt of being my fault.Wanted to see if i can get some help on home repair myself.I was playing MW3,after 15 mins the game crashed.I had to force shut down and when i powered back up i found that the disc drive is no longer reading any type of media.Games/dvd/music.It accepts discs,blue light stays on but no spinning.I took it apart and replaced the lens with a similar model 400a lens put it back together and the same story no spinning from the spindle.Any ideas much appreciated..Thanks

I personally would switch the entire drive, try getting a YLOD box off ebay that hasn't been tampered with (preferably a 40 Gig model), then switch the drive boards and build the drive off the YLOD box into the working one.

Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

No, that's why you swap the drive boards, so you don't have to remarry them. If you don't swap the drive boards, then you have to remarry. But these drive boards aren't soldered to the drive, so swapping them is piece of cake.
