Ps3 console: Put disks into machine and it now does not recognize them. The blue read light stays on, but get nothing.

Either your lens needs to be replaced or it needs to be cleaned.

the disk is scratched

reboot the system and try to insert disks if it doesnt work go to a technician first solution worked for me

This is most likely do to a previous freeze up while on the PS3. All you have to do is to first disconnect all of the plugs and wires. Then you put them back in and turn on the PS3. It should read your PS3 game discs.

if your ps3 doesnt play ANY games or dvds, that may mean that the eye on the ps3(the thing that reads the disks and dvds) is malfunctioning, not moving efficiently enough to procces the disk, not recognizing the encrypted code on the disks, or the optical eye could even be scratched. the disk feed could also not be feeding the disk in far enough for the eye to read it. i would definitly suggest calling customer service and/or bringing the ps3 to an A+ certified technition to "diagnose" your problem.

it is due from the latest system upgrade 2.30 it allows the blue ray to speed up faster then it should and frying the laser if you call Sony and let them they will cover it under warranty and there even extending the 1yr warranty for those who bought the console in 2006 and early 2007 due to this malfunction

Normally ps1-ps2-ps3 has Red laser beam lens system. So it cannot read Blue ray disks. its not possible until you change it lens system. there are some commericially available Blue laser lens system. Buy one and fix it with authorised service personnel. all the best

Your PS2 is definitely broken. Either send it in to Sony to be repaired or buy a new PS3. Bummer. Sorry to hear about this.
