If it were just the Laser at fault, the job becomes a lot more in depth, but still you're looking £40 - £70 for parts and it still might not fix..
The drive does not spin up, it will take the disk in and eject ok .The console still does everything else so i can still play my downloaded games Battlefield1943/Wipeout HD etc,its just sooooo annoying and only just out of warranty.Not sure what to do with it...
