Today I won an eBay auction for a job lot of PS3's with assorted problems and collected them this evening.Thought I'd go through them and try and get a couple working.
Managed to sort 1 out with no problem, but I've just opened up the next one that ID's itself as a CECHP03 and the Blu-Ray ribbon has a much smaller width than usual. About a 3rd of the size I'm used to.
This particular one has no drive. Everything else is there - including the Blu-Ray board that marries up to it and is different to all the ones I've done in the past.
It is definitely PAL, but how would I go about getting a replacement drive for this, especially knowing it's got a different board. I also noticed the CD Entry Sensor Board thingy's connector is a Ribbon as opposed to that silly annoying yellow 2 pin connector. I'll up a couple of pictures of the inside of this PS3 in a few minutes...
I apologies for the quality of these pictures. I only had my Samsung Galaxy S2 to hand.
If your impressed with these pictures as much as I am FROM A PHONE, check out this ORIGINAL macro shot!
I love this phone! If your thinking about getting a Sammy G S2. Just do it.
Anyway, back on topic -Any ideas where I maybe able to source the drive for this board/PS3?
Not that its obvious from the pictures or maybe even the model, but this PS3 is a PHAT version.
eBay seems to full of the 'normal' drives.
