Games wont load on ps3

Hi Danny41,

The disc reading problem is quite a common one!

It is caused by the laser coming away from the drive and you need to readjust the laser to get it to work.

Sounds bad but at least the drive is not broken JUST the laser needs readjusting.

Now let us look at how you can fix this:

Solution 1:

The normal way to fix this is to send it in and they will do the work for you at the factory. However it will cost about $150 and also you will have to wait about 4 weeks.

If you do not play on your PS3 that much this may be the best solution for you.

Solution 2: For A Faster Fix

If you want the games reading problem fixed quickly then you should check out some good PS3 Repair guides.

They normally include videos showing you how to readjust the laser - it takes about 20 mins.

Make sure you check out the full reviews below so you can fix a good one!

Hope this helps and if so please leave a comment or if you have any questions let me know?

Was your consol new?
Did you test your consol?
If not call nintendo!

Try reseting the whole system. Hold the button for 10 to 15 sec. Then try, I had this same problem w/COD WAW. It fixed the problem, but wont fix the crapy server problem COD offers. Good luck

get a disk cleaner the ones that you put in to clean the laser then tell me what happens

ok right so your ps3 wont read disks huh well first of all id like to say this has happened to me twice and it has worked perfectly for me and i quarentee it will work for you ...

first save all your data to a memory stick

secondly go to settings, system settings, and format your ps3 by clicking on full format this will delete all your filles :( but will refresh your ps3


BTW this formatting thing will take atleast 4 hours so just leave your ps3 on and chill out watch t.v or something :)

hope this helps

do you have a 60 gig ps3? if so it is common that the blueray will burn out

my playstation wont play ps3 games but it will play movies and ps2 games.if i put a ps3 game in it frezzes...

sounds like the blu ray diode is burnt.
Send it to Sony for warranty replacement

the reason the umd wont load is because someone shut the psp off when the game was loading. so whoever did that just messed up your psp. i know cause someone did it to mine now i have to get it fixed or buy a new one. and to get the psp fixed its not guna be cheap.

If you update your PS3 system, the system you may not be able to play without first updating the system software.
