PS3’s have a force eject. No power to console. Press and hold eject. Connect power, console will turn on and force eject on the disk. That’s all people have to do instead of taking apart the console.
The ribbon cable will have a perfect fold and line up to a connector on the motherboard. These connectors will have latches on to clip the cable in place so make sure not to break it
Ok thanks, I figured It out. The whole disc drive seems to have a different problem though, When I try to put a disc into it, it makes sounds but doesn't take it in, there seems to be a part that's blocking the disc from inserting.
I can put it over that part but it will just get stuck and not even force eject it.
The part behind it does move up and down independently.
The top part of the disc drive fits well with it.
