Hmm. May be because the disc is scratched? Not sure what it would be otherwise, if other games work just fine.

SOURCE: My ps3 controller can't turn

Have you tried hitting the reset button on the controller? While it's plugged in via USB, get something small and hit the reset button on the back. (Right next to the front and center screw)

SOURCE: Hi. I've had my ps3

Have you tried to use the control, attached to the console with the USB cable?
If that works, it might be that the internal battery is not holding charges anymore.

SOURCE: What should I do if my PS3 slim makes noises when

Hello,

If your system will not take a disc, then you most likely have a faulty disc loader. I would recommend contacting Sony for repairs.

Game wont play

If your PS3 is not reading games you will need to repair it.
You can readjust the laser yourself and it is not that difficult!
All you need is a good PS3 disc reading fix.

My ps3 turns on and off ok, plays movies off the hard drive and will play ps3 games but has suddenly stopped playing movies ( dvd & blu ray ) it recognises the disc and goes to play it but the screen...

That is actually a poor conclusion. There are three different lasers, one for blu-ray, one DVD and one for CD games all in one holder inside. It certainly CAN be the laser. The description id the DVD/Blu-ray part is having focus problems. Contact Sony for a service center that can install a new drive (It needs to be calibrated on install)

Wont play ps3 games

try restoring your ps3. My ps3 wouldn't read disc, but since I restored it it's now reading discs. Go to system settings on you're home screen. Then go to restore ps3 system & then go to full restore. It will take 3 & 1/2 hours but it could fix you're problem.

Ps3 games wont work on my ps3.. but plays ps2 games and dvds play...

How much free memory does your Ps3 have? Are the games used or scratched?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You need a certain amount of memory to play ps3 games. Scratched up games can't be read.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did you put the disc on the right side? Lay the ps3 down and the ps3 game disc picture should be facing up.

My 60 GB PS3 wont run PS2 games

Actually only 60GB PS3s supports PS2 games. But It requires particular firmware. In first instance try updating your system, then dissable the disc autoload function, insert PS2 game, and look at the game section if your soft will recognise it. If yes just try to play

Good luck
