Hi Guys,

yesterday, as said, without any warning, my BD-Drive seems to have died.
I have a CECHC04 60GB PHAT PS3 and i'm on 4.30 Rogero v2.

As was playing Games before yesterday without problems and never had any problems with Discs on the PS3. Never a warning or something else.

Yesterday i started up the PS3 and didn't have a "Game Icon/Disk Icon" under the Home-Tab in XMB.

After reading here and googling around, it just could be that the Drive has broken.

So i disassembled the PS3/Drive.

So, what's working?
Inserting and Ejecting Discs works just fine.
Also the PS3 powers up when in Stand-By-Mode when inserting a Disc.
After disassembling and inserting a Disc i noticed that the Disc won't spin up, but i'm sure the Motor tries to.
I made a little Video of the Problem:

One can hear the "clicky" sound when inserting the Disc the second time (sorry for the sniffing sound, i'm currently sick at home ;-) ) but no spinning :-(

Questions is?
Is it only the Laser that is broken or do i need a new drive?
Which Drive or Laser do i need, i haven't seen any label that says "KEM400AAA" or something like that, do all CECHC04 have the same Drive/Laser?
Maybe someone knows a good Dealer around Germany/Munich??
Should i try to remove the "Black Cover with white swinging Arms" on top of the Drive to see if the Laser has some Light?

I hope someone has some answers for me, if you need more Info, just say so, i love my PS3 and i don't want it to die ;-)

Thanks in Advance,
StoneCraX
