Howdy everyone.
I have a PS3 CECHG03 which has troubles reading discs.
It also used to get stuck on black screen while trying to connect to/install playstore, which I fixed by replacing the HDD.
I have reflashed the firmware from USB, but that did not fix the disc problem.
I tried the console with another two drives ( from ylod-ed consoles, so do not really know if the drives are fine, but the hell are the odds all drives to be dead??? ) but again no joy.
When a disc is inserted, the blue light ( next to the power light ) flashes and then goes to solid blue, so I guess at least the motherboard knows there is a disc present in the drive.
The closest thing to a working drive is getting the tracklist of an audio CD (with two of the drives ). It lists the tracks with their times, but doesn't play them ( after some time shows an error message - "bad data" or smthng ).
Any ideas what might have gone wrong?
Oh, I also switched the PSU because the original one was lil' bit noisy ( audible noisy, have not checked it on the scope though ).
