Got another console to fix for myself. PS3 40GB fat came in not reading discs... decided to swap drives with a working spare. Found out later that's not an option, because they're locked to each other. I'm new to console repairs. So took apart dead drive, put the disc in, and it doesn't spin - at all. DVD, nothing, bluray, nothing.
Now to me this looks like a dead spindle motor, but could it be the laser failing some self-test?
Any way to test?
