177k miles, was a good run. Went to leave today and it was blowing white smoke, running on what felt 2 cylinders, and no coolant in the reservoir.
Rip.
Guess I'm car shopping. 😞
Discs never boot when a disc is in the drive and the console is powered on, always goes to the menu with the cannot read disc error.
If I put the disc in at the system menu, discs boot every time.
Drive is a Samsung 605F and recapped. It did the same thing before recap, nothing changed.
The mainboard and PSU have also been fully recapped.
Any suggestions as to what my fix this issue?
Screen door has a broken top tab so it falls right out as nothing is securing it in the track on one side. Is there any way to replace this top tab?
