Basically the problem is this: I can load most PS3 games into my CECH-2101B PS3 and they start up just fine. However BD movies and PS3 games that are dual-layer (aside from GTA5 for some reason) do not unless I physically lift the console and hold it vertically (with the disc drive pointing upwards).
Is this a laser issue and can I fix it by swapping the laser?
Is dit een goede vraag?

This is very similar to the problem that a lot of PS2s (Primarily Slims) had where they would only read certain discs unless the console was in a certain position. The fix for those was a new laser, so based on the symptoms you have provided, we can safely assume it’s the laser. One thing I would check though is to make sure it actually spins properly if it does, then I would try the laser. If it doesn’t, then there’s a problem with the drive and it would probably have to be replaced. Here is a guide on how to remove the drive from the console to replace the laser or the drive itself: PlayStation 3 Slim Blu-ray Disc Drive Replacement

It definitely spins correctly because I can feel it while I'm holding it up (I can even feel it reengaging after it gives up the first time). Plus, as I mentioned I can read single-layer Blu-Rays (meaning the BD laser itself is alive) and CDs/DVDs.
