Why is my ps3 slim not reading any games?

So I have done research on why my ps3 slim does not read any games but I am still confused. I found out that I need to replace my Blu-ray drive. I read the step by step tutorial and at the end it says If I am replacing the drive with a new one swap the circuit board. I was confused about that step. Can someone please explain to me what is it that they are talking about?

Here is the tutorial I was talking about it is on step 16 fourth bullet point.

Kelly Torres, it makes perfect sense. the drive is "married" to the logic board. You will have to replace the circuit board from the original drive to the new drive. This way the new drive is recognized by your PS3.

when you get a new blu-ray drive it should NOT come with a circuit board (if it does, throw it away, it won't work with your ps3) remove the circuit board from your broken BR drive and set it aside. then install it onto the new drive. then install the drive back into your PS3. it should work fine if installed correctly
