Hi there, My ps3 turns on and accepts discs but the disc icon doesnt show on the screen and the disc doesnt play. Everything was fine yesterday morning then we went to play it and that is when the problem started! thanks for your help!

The laser is wearing out. If it is under warranty you can send it back to Sony for free repair. If not, they will charge you $150 to fix it.

you need to replace your laser assembly. or you can send it back to sony to get fixed.

your blue ray player is broken you have to send it back to sony if you have warrenty its free but if you dont its $150

it could be "Blu Ray Drive Failure", and you'll find it's more common than you think. its best to take it back to the shop were u got it from if still under warrenty or ring sony customer care . they might either replace the part or replace the console .

Mate this exact thing happened to my mate playing the same game.

He called Sony and they took it away and fixed it...

Get on to them.

it sounds like your laser is either dirty or dead. take your system apart and clean the lens and see if it helps. if it dosen't then your laser is probably dead and needs replaced.

Press and hold the eject button for around 15 seconds, this resets the cd drive and will fix your problems. Hope this helps

Snd it in for warranty repairs.
Your disc unit needs to be reeplaced

PS3 is The amazing device by sony but it has some common problems like Disc read error etc.... Good news is that these all problems can be repaired with the help of DIY Guides, one such guide available at PS3 Repair Blog

Turns out my suspicions wre correct about the DVD player being "sluggish" from lack of use. By continuing to exercise the drive motor by hitting play and eject while simutaneously attempting to insert a disc finally paid off. Now it readily accepts the disc and everything is functioning as designed. Trust me, I'm not going to let it sit idle for anymore extended periods...................baltogas
