Perfection. That's the name of the game with the shapes that you have to fit in the slots before the timer goes off and pops everything up. Scared the shit out of me every time it popped.
27:29 saved my disc drive for some reason I was looking and twiddle the but around then pin that but came out this part hugely helped me putting it back the part and trouble shooting my problem 👍👍
Glad it helped! And don't worry, there was quite a bit of staring off camera as well as footage left on the cutting room floor on my end trying to figure out the best way to put it all back together. They're complicated drives that need patience to service for sure. One piece is askew and the whole thing doesn't work.
Thank you for the video, this help me big time, one of the springs fell out when I was working on the drive, the one with a red line through the screw, appreciate it!
I usually don't either. But seeing the state of the PS3 as a whole I knew this was gonna be a thing. I didn't realize how long this took me until I realized this video was going to be over an hour. And that's paring it down lol. But this was the furthest I've ever taken it. Now that I understand how the drive works and is put together, after a couple more it should be easy peasy.
@@titanrepairs Except Sony tends to have multiple variations of their parts. If one company they are working with decides to increase their price or can no longer make that part, they go with someone else. And since you can't copy another product 1:1, the design is tweaked. Sometimes the parts are still compatible but most of the time they are not in my experience.
@@GoodVibeCollecting that's pretty much my experience too. And it stinks too because parts swapping is difficult. If I don't have a spare drive lying around to salvage I'm boned. It's why I don't throw out anything lol.

I'm glad it helped! Those springs can definitely be annoying.
This is very nice and relaxing to watch
Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for this video!
I usually don't completely strip down force feeder disc drives as they are annoying the put back together but this one needed it.
