I have spent over 18 years repairing PlayStation hardware, and the PS3 disc drive remains one of the most intricate components. In our Canterbury lab, I perform precision micro-soldering and mechanical calibration to ensure the drive accepts, reads, and ejects discs exactly like it did on launch day. I also inspect the console for other common issues, such as PS3 hard drive failure. My goal is to keep these classic machines running so you can enjoy your physical library without compromise. If you have questions about your specific model, please contact us directly.

Every disc drive restoration is backed by our 1-year Return To Base warranty. Our process includes a complete strip-down of the drive, ultrasonic cleaning of mechanical parts, and the installation of a brand-new high-grade laser unit. We also perform a full internal cleaning of the console to remove dust buildup that can lead to overheating. If a console is found to be unrepairable or has severe motherboard damage like PS3 YLOD, we will inform you before proceeding. In such cases, we only charge a small £15 inspection fee.

How to fix a PS3 that won't read discs?
Failure to read discs is typically caused by a failed laser unit. While some users try cleaning discs, a professional internal laser replacement is the only permanent solution for a failing drive mechanism.

This is usually a mechanical issue involving the drive gears or sensors. We professionally disassemble the drive to realign the mechanism and replace any worn components.
