Can i use another Playstation disc drive in my PS3?
I have an older PS3 that has been giving me problems. It has recently stopped reading my game discs, so I decided to take it apart to clean the eye.
Now can't get the disc drive back together! Can I swap the disc drive with another PS that has ring of death?
