IDStorage Regeneration not fixing UMD issue

I bought a PSP described as having had a faulty UMD drive and a working UMD drive supplied with it to fit. I was a little sceptical, and found on fitting the drive that I got a disc read error. I ran IDStorage Regeneration from DC7, and it couldn't find the real MAC address so assigned a random one.
The drive still didn't work.
I tried a drive I knew to be good, still no joy.
The disc is spinning, the laser's moving, but it isn't lighting up.
Now, I would think that it's an issue with the laser ribbon connector on the motherboard, except that there seems to be some IDStorage issue, illustrated by the inability to get the real MAC address. Could it be a faulty laser connector, and an IDStorage error? And why can't the regenerator get the real MAC address?

Anybody got any ideas/suggestions please?
 
If you regenerated with DC7, then its probably not the Idstorage ( but who knows for sure)

I think it the hardware, as you said it could be a faulty laser connector.

Well, in order to get help, can you tell me, do you have a Phat PSP or a Slim?
 
when you try to get your real mac address is you have to have your wlan switch on. hope that helps.
