I'm sorry to hear that. With the replaced drive are you getting the identical symptoms you had before the swap? If so, the Blu-ray drive probably isn't causing the problem. In that case, I would swap them back and ship the 60 gig unit to Sony for authorized repair.

For future reference, I would be a little hesitant in swapping out the drive units unless you can visually confirm them as identical by model numbers or a code. Sony aggressively revised models throughout the lives of the PS1 and PS2, and they're off to a good start so far with PS3 changes. Just make sure you're swapping apples for apples. Well, Blu-ray for Blu-ray anyway.

huh that is weird that doesn't even make sense unless the blu-ray is encoded to the mother board and they put in kill switches into the blu drives.
