quick update, the drive is now accepting discs and spinning the discs up along with the correct lasers been used, i can clearly see red for dvds and blue for games.

the discs remain spinning untill i press eject, but nothin is showin up on the ps3 menu and nothing is auto booting.

any ideas on the cause? i'll keep re-applyin the big ribbon cable maybe its not in properly but can this problem also be caused by having a fried or not the original drive logic unit ?

Hi,

The good news are:
1. Spinning clock means it has the correct Blu Ray board,
2. Disc spins up means that the laser and Blu Ray boards are OK.

I think your problem is the broken black plastic clip. If you still have the clip then re-install it and tape it down to keep it in place. Otherwise, you need to cut a thin plastic shim (from plastic milk bottle or something) to the correct width and jam it in between the ribbon cable and connector (there is a thread somewhere in this forum).

You might want to do a complete system restore.

Good luck

It could also be a software issue have you tried reintalling the drivers using the restore menu?
