I got it working again last night.
The Bluray drive's motor failed, and it was a real easy fix by swapping it out with the extra one I already had here at work. Luckily we had an old broken PS3 a customer just gave to us (broken power supply). Well I say easy, I must have taken it apart and reassembled it 6 times before it finally worked. You have to keep your original control circuit board and remount it on the new bluray drive, else it doesnt work as I learned late last night. I'll probably just get a bigger hard drive to install in it.

just get a 320GB and be done with it. it's really nice having over 200GB of free space after you re-install everything.

Just turned my PS3 on last night, and.....no discs are being detected. CD's, DVD's, or BluRays. Sum b****. It is a old 40 gig from christmas 2007, but I think I'll try replacing the blu ray drive before I go out and buy a new one. 40 gigs are pretty much full so a bigger hard drive would be nice. Thats what I get for not playing for a week. Grrrrrr.

I had this problem. Opened it myself and cleaned the lens. Works like a baby again. Just don't use any liquid!!! Wipe it with DRY ear stick.

Yes and no. Usually someone selling a broken one doesn't know what part is broken. You could end up buying the same problem. I suspect a ton of used PS3 units will be hitting ebay any moment.

That's my initial thought aswell... Should I buy a broken used one and cannibalize it?

While it accepts disks, it does not show up on the crossbar. Sould I attempt to replace some component or purchase a used console. How much does either run?
