PS3 not reading Disks

Hi,

This is a very common problem with the PS3 and is caused by a problem with the laser on the Bluray drive which is malfunctioning and can no longer read the game disk properly.

The PS3 uses a dual laser system. This consists of either a dual refractor type lens or two entirely seperate lenses depending on which pickup is fitted to your particular system. One laser is for reading ordinary DVD disks and PS2 disks and the other for Bluray and PS3 games.

The symptoms you describe are typical of a failure of one or both of these lasers.

For more information on how to resolve the problem please view this FixYa Tip on the subject.

Many thanks for using FixYa.

Hello,

This problem has something to do with your PS3's lens. It may have gone bad too. This happened to me too and I brought my PS3 to sony. The culprit was bad lens.

I hope this helps. Have a nice day.

It might just be coincidence that your blu-ray drive has packed up at the same time as the update. Ring up Sony and tell them this and you could get a new console for free if your in the warranty.

format the hard drive. A quick one should do
Try games again

Worked for me

1.You Should Try to clean your disks 2.put one in and go to games or videos depending on what u r doing and if your ps3 detects there is a game in there press triangle on the disk icon and select play 3.if that didnt work go to http://www.Playstaton.com/Support
Hope it Helped!

Try another game see if it loads, im assuming it stopped playing the game, froze, or gave some sort of error right?

Bluray laser is dead!
sent to Sony for repair under warranty(luckily)
they sent to Mexico for cheap repair.

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