I work for a local game store/hobby shop, and I’ve recently been trying to do some console repairs. We had some slim PS2’s that weren’t wanting to read discs and ordered a replacement laser.

Said laser has not functioned in any of the 3 consoles, I’m mostly curious if this is user error of my end (I am still relatively new to the repair world, all repairs I’ve done so far have all been self taught things), or if the laser isn’t the issue at all.

Ribbon cable is secure as soon shown in the pics, the solder on the side seems fine, all videos I’ve watched I’ve followed to the letter and no results.

Tips/Help is greatly appreciated!
