[QUOTE="cokeman118, post: 9934084, member: 140988"] Thanks for the reply. I'll look into those suggestions. One other thing I noticed but didn't think anything of it at the time. On ribbon cable connecting to the laser head I noticed there was some kind black substance on it where it bends. Also where the ribbon cable rests on the metal chassis there was a black substance that sort of left an imprint of the ribbon cable... Small rows of black lines. I tried to wipe it off but it didn't come off. I thought maybe it was some kind of grease since the cable rubbed on this area. Now I'm wondering if the cable actually worn down in this area from the constant flexing and rubbing in that area over time. Never heard of grease being used at a flex/wear area so I'm not really sure if that's what it is. Was there an issue with friction on these cables at that particular point? Could the flex cable be worn causing these intermittent issues? I'll have to tear into the console again and test the continuity on the ribbon cable. Doesn't make sense the disc tray would be opening and closing erratically and randomly, and coinciding with laser movement. Also I'm not getting any "read errors." Discs just aren't doing anything. System just gets to the browser/system configuration screen. In the rare event the disc does spin up I still don't get a read error. [/QUOTE]
