I got mine from a seller on eBay. If you go on eBay there are a ton of sellers who sell the drive. They also actually sell just the lens, which is the part of the blu-ray drive that always goes bad. Its more labor intensive to change, but much cheaper.

cool thanks, i'll check it out. i noticed that sometimes, my picture looks almost "sliced and layered" on the left side of the screen for 15 seconds or so when i'm watching a blu-ray or playing a game. figured something is dirty or scratched. hopefully my repairs/cleaning fixes it.

I'm on my third ps3 from the yellow light of death. I have replaced multiple lasers. Its gonna die... question is when

Every console with an optical drive will eventually experience drive failure. Unfortunately there isn't a whole lot of preventative maintenance that can be done for the drives (as far as I know) :(

I should thank my lucky stars that my original has lasted this long then. All the more reason to open it up and clean it out (and perhaps replace a piece or two)
