Alright- heres my situation so far:

I have 3 PS3's that didn't read discs. (40GB, 60GB, 80GB) and I bought a new laser for each, all KEM-400AAAs, and properly installed all of them, and all of them play games and movies normally. When I put them all back together and tested them, they all had a similar strange problem: When I turned them on, the bluray drive's 4 wheels in the front would spin like they are trying to take in a disc, even though theres not one there. After extensive research, and testing, I have concluded that the optical sensor on the top of the bluray drive is the problem. Because it doesnt work properly, it cant see that there is no disc in the loading dock (the entry way to the bluray drive) so it spins inward for about 8 seconds, and then realizes that there is nothing in there. I tried all of the optical sensors and red/black wire combinations, but nothing changed. My questions are:

- Is there any way to fix the optical sensor?
- Does anyone know of a place I can get just the optical sensor?
(I know that I can get a broken bluray drive on ebay- but those are 60 dollars, and im trying to avoid that.

maybe you have the mecanism in bad place. Check it. The sensor is only to suck in the disc when you just put the disc on the drive. If the sensor isn't working you yust have to push a little more so that a switch on the mecanism is pressed and the disc will be sucked in
