Cechg01 Reads Nothing
« on: February 02, 2020, 09:23:00 PM »

I recently picked up a CECHG01 for cheap. When any disc (bluray movie/game or dvd) is inserted the laser attempts to focus a few times and gives up. No light is emitted from the laser during this. The loading icon spins endlessly. I have done a complete reformat and updated the system thinking that may help but it did not. Downloaded games work just fine. Can anyone give me some insight into what component is at fault? Thanks!

It sounds like the motor to spin the discs is broken, will the disc spin after you put it in?

The disc does not spin. Even if the motor is bad shouldn't the laser light up?
