Hi,
These are to new to go tampering with.
possible problems:- power supply unit/fuse/motherboard Fault.
If it,s not powering on, then how can you determine that it,s not reading disks ?
disk read error. Possible Faulty/Weak Laser Unit.
Mike @ compurepair.
Solution:- Buy An XBOX 360. Same graphical Quality, been out longer, bigger game availability. Less problems And Hassles.

Why cant my PS-3 not read any discs??

There is a known issue if you have a original 40-60GB Playstation3. What has happened is the Blu-ray laser has become damaged or is dirty. What you can try to do is clean the laser by using a CD cleaner which if you dont own will only cost about £5. If this does not fix your problem then it is most likely the lens. If your Playstation3 will play DVD's or Music CD's then it is the lasor to read Playstation games. You will need to ring the sony hotline which is free of charge. There you can speak to an assistance who can point you in the right direction. If you have had your playstation under 1 year then you will have a warranty meaning a free replacement with should only take up to about 3-5 working days.
Note: If the console displays an error on screen after you try to play a disc, record it and google the error code. If that doesnt help then post it on here and I can help you further.
Good Luck

Fifa11 on my ps3 wont start

Make sure the disc isnt severally scratched, or dirty. Your Playstation3 most likely cannot read the disc because of the following. If it is only that game then I recommend replacing the disc.

Can you play blu ray discs on playstation 2?

Sorry, but the system is not set up to read the Blu Ray discs. They are, however, compatible with the Playstation3 - you probably already knew that... Hope this answered your question. Please take a few seconds to rate how helpful this solution was for you. Thanks. billyho1977@FixYa
