Item(s) for Sale:

80 GB PS3 older backwards compatible model. Got this as broken with a non functioning drive. Inspected the drive and cleaned the lens, seems that the motor that spins the game is out. (pretty common problem from what I have gathered)

Can also throw in a brand new wireless PS3 controller, only been opened and charged.

$125 shipped or trade for whatever. Just let me know what you have for trades, car audio or others will be considered

Will trade straight for a DD1508 or SA8! Someone could have a working PS3 for ~$200. This model usually goes for ~$275 on ebay since its backwards compatible!

From the little research I have done, it seems the laser lense was fine. It was the actual motor that spins the disk that was bad. The laser would still emit light, just the motor wouldnt spin the game for it to be read. And a replacement drive is less than $95 on ebay!

No offers at all? might have to throw this on ebay. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Dont you have to like program the drive to match the PS3 or something? Mine just died (flashing red light)

No, you just need a drive that is specific to your model PS3. You match your serial # with a drive from the same model and all should be well.

I think as long as you have the circuit board from the top of the bluray drive from your PS3, you can order a barebones drive and use your circuit board and its much cheaper to fix. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I also saw some drives without the circuit board (drive controller board) which I will include... they are cheaper if you can find them and are able to put the board that is included with my sale on one of those.
