Got a fat G model ps3 with the 4000AAA and 400AAA in the other day with the problem of not reading disk.on inspection it was the laser so changed out the laser for a new one and tested working fine. sent it back and couple of days later it lands back with the same problem, i asked the client what happened said nothing just stopped working he also said he had one or two updates in-between.
so tryed a few lasers on it and the same thing,

i was wondering could one of the chips on the logic board be gone or corrupt causing the lasers to be burn out


Ps First post on here go me

so the 3 new lasers that blew are all faulty ??

I did a 400 yesterday and I went through 3
One in console broken
One fitted read a disc tried an hour later it didn't
Another fitted didn't read
Another fitted and all good working

It's funny I can stick a laser in console a and it not work but fit in console b and it works like new

But a side note logic boards do fail aswell

i have a question, if the laser is burned out, will the disc still spin if you insert a game, or will nothing happen.

i have a partial faulty board myself.

In my experience they don't spin or sound like they do for just a second or half second then instantly stop

the loader works when disk is inserted but it is not spinning or reading the disk

then i don't have to look further on the logic board for problems, i found a faulty part, but changing that only fixed the injecting and ejecting issue. (board suffered from dead motors syndrom)

the ps3 lasers need adjusting when you fit them from new (assuming the op has rememberd to de-solder the anti-static tag)
there a pain to do. some lasers need no adjusting others do.
chances are the first time you tried the laser it was out so it re-focused its self slightly more than it should have. and so appeard to be ok

best test
play a game
then a bdvd film
then a normal dvd film
if it works on all 3 then its good and no adjustment is needed

i have a link somewhere for how to adjust it.
i will see if i can find it but i have loads of links so i could be awhile

oh and again. its a real pain in the arse to adjust it.
