Hi,

I have a PS3 Slim model CECH-2001A

Here's the problem.

I replaced the laser with a working known working laser (Which i thought was the problem) since the drive would accept the disk attempt to read it then stop.

So now here's the real issue. After replacing the laser, now the drive will take the disc and just spin it at a steady fast speed (Just as it would if you were playing a game) and that all it does. It just keeps spinning at a steady speed without stopping but the system doesn't read the disc.

I tried BR movies, DVD movies, PS3 games..........the only thing i got working is a Music CD, it take about 2min for it to read it after it reads it, i downloaded the disc information and pressed play to play the music cd, after waiting for 2min it didnt play any music so when i press the button to exit, it say data corrupt for the music CD.

I am kind of stuck here and i dont know what the problem could be.

The PS3 was bought used in non-working condition (Wasn't reading discs) and it had already been opened before.

Its currently on 4.21 FW

What kind of tests/troubleshooting can i do to get this working again.

Thank you
