So, yesterday I decided to do a thermal paste change on my CFW PS3 (done via the exploit not an E3 flasher) The thermal swap went great. However, as I was putting everything back together I some how managed to snap the plastic clamp that holds the BD drive connector ribbon into place! Now the disc drive is pooched. It doesn't acknowledge a disc when I try to stick one in, but the disc drive does still beep when I press eject...
Upon a quick google search I discovered NoBD versions of CFWs, So I decided to give one a try. I grabbed a NoBD copy of Rebug 4.81.2 Drex and it installed perfectly...However...now, NO games will mount. Inside mmCm I have each game (which are stored on the internal and external) checked to Mirror BD in the settings...yet they still wont mount. When I click Load inside mmCm, there is NO disc icon loaded onto the XMB, the ps3/home folder changes to the title of whichever game I try to mount, but even clicking that does NOT launch the game, it gives me some 800 error code...
Is there another firmware I should try? Am I doing something wrong in the settings of Rebug 4.81.2 Drex NoBD version? Is it even possible to run CFW and launch games without a Blu Ray drive?
Please for the love of God! Can someone help me out, or point me in the right direction!?
Thanks in advance.
