I have a broken PS3 at my house which I believe is a 60GB. It boots up fine, and you can do everything on it as a normal PS3. It will eject and feed discs in the slot but does not read them. I replaced the drive once and it didn’t work. This is one of the older fat PS3s.
I will confirm the size of the HDD when I get home, and snap some pics.
I’d like **$60** for it since they go for more than that on eBay. Item is sold AS IS.
Located in Tonawanda

If a replacement drive didn’t work why do you think it’s the drive and not the board?

You replaced the whole drive, or just the laser?

It may be the board, I replaced it kinda quickly. I changed the whole drive with one a buddy sent me, so his drive may have been bad as well. Either way the drive does not read discs, but does power on, boots to the home screen, and works fine aside from the drive. If you want this for parts, shooting practice, magic porn box, it’s yours. If not …to ebay.

Regardless, not a bad price for something that works 3/4 of the way. I’ve seen those replacement “trays” that include the drive and laser run for $75. just have to have the right part number.

Just what I need…2 working PS3 and 1 almost working one. 😉
I’d prolly save it for parts down the road myself.

Traderbase with the high bid…
@pirite I’m pretty sure I recycled it. I’ll double check.
I booted it up when I got home from work…still works.

haha \<3 you ProgRocker
A local guy is selling parts cheap. You can swap the drive with one of the same models and then use your same board and be OK 9 times out of 10.

I’m going to list the sale still pending @ 40 to the person who PM’d me, unless someone wants to bump it up to $50.
If nothing else you can pop the drive and use it to store some porn or something.
