I got PSU blown up PS3 by heat (was forgotten running in closed glass tv platform). And disc drive jammed by that.
-
PSU was trash by blown buck convertor(?) i replaced but it didnt set up.. not sure of how put it so i put just ATX 400W PSU via one molex and soldered molex connector hanging at behind of PS3.. motherboard had couple thermal fuses gone fixed and it booted up finally.
+
PSU had blown buck convertor(?) i replaced it but didnt work yet so give up trying to get PSU working.
-
I did found out that Disc Drive was jammed and that stop stick was up... i opened and did reset drive mechanically so it did take and reject disc now.. but didn't load any disc (DVDmovie or PS3 (bluray)games) so it can't have both lasers broken..
+
So i ended up using ATX 400W PSU. Motherboard had couple thermal fuses too which i replaced.
-
I did at this point this reset system via two beep menu (boot up while holding finger on power button and letting go when you hear two beeps).. and selecting and going through option number 3.. It didn't work so i continued..
+
Disc Drive was jammed and inside drive entry there was that plastic stick up which prevents inserting extra discs in so disc drive needed resetting mechanically...
-
If it doesn't even start spinning like me i suspected does disc even go properly yet in place.. some ones in videos shows "fixes" to put disc while tilting machine little bit or more while ejecting disc in.. i tried i think it did little change.. so
+
After reset it didnt still load any discs (DVD movie or PS3 (bluray)games) but it shouldn't have both read lasers broken at once..
-
I opened still case and heard that disc when inserted wasn't balanced (i forgot put that what comes top of disc drive that freely spinning magnetic disc... ops).. i tightened screws and put that disc.. it started finally spinning discs and too when placed on vertically.
+
I had reset PS3 system too.

Hope this gives ideas to go through symptons and find out what is wrong in your case. Not just blindly say what is chosen option over here like can hear from random stores warranty services. It's horrible wrong not know what really is wrong or is it at all.. lazy people not able diagnose problems!

I noted then it didn't even start spinning disc properly so disc didn't go in place yet properly.
+
+
Some Youtube videos shows "fixes" to tilt machine little bit or more while ejecting disc in.. it did help so..

I opened PS3 and heard that disc when inserted wasn't balanced (i forgot put that what comes top of disc drive that freely spinning magnetic disc... ops)
+
+
it started finally spinning discs and works still this day.
