I've followed some videos on youtube, and I'm down to the motherboard. The blu ray drive just popped off mine, couple of ribbon cables.

It's an old 40gb system so I had to search a bit for a break down guide, but got there in the end.

There is quite a few vids of people heating the motherboards and applying flux to try and fix the gpu/cpu areas of the board. So i'm going to give it a shot. Was just wondering if anyone had any first hand experience with fixing them.

Good luck fixing the blu ray drive
