Where is the best place to buy blu ray drives and laser for ps3? I checked everywhere and i can't find a good source of them for a good price. And just in case other replacement parts for the system.brandonk318It may not be the blu ray laser because I sent mine to get repaired locally and was told the laser is working fine but the chip in the blu ray drive was deficient and it couldnt be replaced by anyone other than sony because they had special encryptions exclusive to each system... sony is terribly, forcing people to pay 190.97 for sumthin dat stopped working conveniently a month out of warranty and asking me to pay just about half what i apid for a new one ( i got mine for 400 after tax i got 10% off, and repair is 190.97 in canada)
i bought one a while ago and it cost me $89 +shipping. It was a refurb laser though, i didnt know the difference before i bought one

I know it is the laser because i have had some extensive repair experience with this type of stuff// i found other replacement parts but they were far too expensive//for that amount i have to pay i am better off getting a new system//thanks for your reply thoughbrandonk318yea i was sure my problem was the laser too, im not saying yours isnt though its just what i thought my problem was. May be wrong though I only had 1 store really check it out, I think I'm better off buying a new system too, maybe repairing and selling the old one but it's not really a good time to spend so much money it's almost half a grand and paying 190 on top of that is ridiculous, especially when its something we have no control over. anyways i think im going to get a 360 pro for 150 but im not too excited about their games library :( but on the flipside im beginning to hate sony over this bs feels like were being robbed fixing it.

yeah. i did manage to break part of the disc loader though, nothing serious just the little spring loaded sensors, so if you do take it apart yourself make sure not to touch anything you don't have too haha

yea i tried cleaning the lens once so i know my way around the system lol but still quite a costly piece of hardware. canadian im lookin at 100-120 for that piece. May as well buy the fresh 360 pro half price... agree?[QUOTE="TehSonofUgly"][QUOTE="Haze-and-Ses"] did it work?Haze-and-Ses
