PS3 freezes after inserting disc

Good Evening,

I have been recently working on a CHECHE01 model PS3, and am having issues. It began when I torn the unit down to re-apply thermal paste due to the fans running constantly (I have done this before on the same unit 4 years ago). After putting everything back together, it wouldn’t read discs. The menu and everything else works fine, but once you insert a disc (ps3, ps2, dvd, etc) the little clock symbol begins to spin and then everything freezes. The only thing that you can do is a hard shutdown. So, I opened it up again and double checked all physical connections. After some research I decided to try a replacement blue-ray drive unit. After receiving and installing new unit, nothing changed. The replacement was an aftermarket one off of amazon. It required you to re use the original blu-ray control board, which I have researched are model specific. Next I torn the entire unit down back to the motherboard and cleaned every connection and re-applied thermal past. Still nothing after that. So, today I ordered a used blu-ray drive control board from ebay that is supposed to be compatible to my model along with a new blu-ray to mobo ribbon cable. Do you guys think that I am on the right path or is there something I am missing. Any information is appreciated as I am somewhat new to the counsel repair side of things, but am trying it as a new hobby. Thank you in advance for any help.
