Fixed ylod, disc wont read now.
I have a ps3 cecha01, just fixed ylod, before i put the top covers back on wanted to make sure ylod was gone and it was, the game that was in there wasnt showing up, so i hit eject it came out with some protest sorta sounded like a lot of clicking. Inserted a diffrent disc (didnt want to lose the one that was in there) and it wasnt read. Tried another same results. Never had any problems with it before. im the only owner of this ps and never opened it befoere this. Any ideas?
Thank you
Is this a good question?
@sendokon how did you fix the YLOD?

Followed the guide on here, instead of heat gun i put the board in the oven 425f for 8 mins. Worked well, just open windows and put the oven fan on if your gonna try it.

you covered it up well while in the oven? Any damaged components visible?

Nope just put it in there on a pan had the edge slightly on a corner so it would be even, made sure it was 425 and did for exactly 8 mins, i then let it sit and cool for 30mins with out touching it. Worked great, i think its safer than using a heat gun, the heat is atleast even and steady for the duration, vs heatgun. No damage looked exactly the same except ylod went away. Just need to know what i can do for this disc drive...
