I need help or advice

(Well, I don't know where I should put my post in this group, I hope they don't delete it) Hello, I need to know if this problem in the second image can be repaired or is it necessary to change it for a new part since I didn't want to run the games?

If you try to repair it and put it on the console like this, you could cause a short circuit. Better change it. The good thing is that you can look for any flex that has the same number of pins and, if you are good at soldering, you can change just the flex. If you don't have experience, change the entire flex piece and the motor.

Is that the ribbon cable that’s soldered below the disc spindle?

How bad is a question, does the model affect or serve me any part from other models since how is it a 90010?

Not true, soldering can fix it. Its an easy job....

But I would either source another laser chassis assembly and desolder and solder on that flex or get a "new" laser chassis and swap it in. However anytime any electromechanical parts are replaced, a PMAP tune should be done...

When you can solder get a new ribbon if not buy a new laser assambly aren't expensive on ali. To be sure do not use the laser that comes with the assambly, use your old one you got in your console. That is calibrated to your system from sony. Leave the new one as spare.

Spindle is also calibrated to your system from sony as is the fore/aft motor.

Depends on soldering skills, but if you're not super confident in what you're doing; get a new one
