So I had a dead unit (CECHA01) sitting in storage at my place for 2 years now. I finally bought some cool soldering equipment and I wanted to fix something.
After a few minutes fixing this dead unit, I got the console to boot but I noticed that the Bluray drive wouldn't read discs. I then downgraded it to 3.55CFW, de-hashed it and updated it to 3.75CFW.
I never worked on a unit with a broken drive before, but after reading online, people with broken drives are unable to update, yet I was able to update successfully to 3.75CFW. What does this mean?
This is the CFW I installed:

Is the bluray drive actually working?
Thanks!
