PS. One thing that is still working in my console: When pressing the drive door switch, the lens is moving up and down twice. I have the drive removed at the minute for testing purposes, but it was the same when it was all together. lens moves up and down twice, but disc doesn't spin at all though

Hi all, Wonder if anyone can help with expected drive voltages at the disc drive connector on a SCPH-1002? I have the 3.5v and 5v as it should be from Q609 BA6397FP 7.65V on pins 21 and 22 Ch1 out A 3.5V Ch1 out B 3.5v Ch4 out A 3.5V Ch4 out B 3.5V Then at the connector which goes to the drive I hav...
