I got PSU blown up PS3 by heat (was forgotten running in closed glass tv platform). And disc drive jammed by that.
PSU had blown buck convertor(?) i replaced it but didnt work yet so give up trying to get PSU working.
So i ended up using ATX 400W PSU. Motherboard had couple thermal fuses too which i replaced.
Disc Drive was jammed and inside drive entry there was that plastic stick up which prevents inserting extra discs in so disc drive needed resetting mechanically...
After reset it didnt still load any discs (DVD movie or PS3 (bluray)games) but it shouldn't have both read lasers broken at once..
I had reset PS3 system too.
I noted then it didn't even start spinning disc properly so disc didn't go in place yet properly.
Some Youtube videos shows "fixes" to tilt machine little bit or more while ejecting disc in.. it did help so..
I opened PS3 and heard that disc when inserted wasn't balanced (i forgot put that what comes top of disc drive that freely spinning magnetic disc... ops)
it started finally spinning discs and works still this day.
Hope this gives ideas to go through symptons and find out what is wrong in your case. Not just blindly say what is chosen option over here. It's horrible wrong to not know what really is problem.. lazy people not able diagnose problems!

Does the drive inject and eject discs?

The drive will still continue to accept and eject discs. It just will not read them. In some cases, it will attempt to spin the disc and nothing will happen. When it happened to my 60GB PS3, the optical drive would not my read discs (Blu-ray, DVD, CD, etc.) at all.

Not sure why this was modded down. The drive accepts and ejects discs without any problem.

ok, because i was wondering if maybe, there was a severed connection somewhere.
