Hello my sons ps3 has stopped loading games,

Unplug everything and just wait for a couple of hours and try again, hopefully it works.

This is usually caused by a bad laser. Try cleaning it first to see if that helps. If it doesn't then it will need to be replaced. Check out www.wiredextreme.com or call 214-222-5788. All of our repairs come with a 90 day warranty.

go to www.modchipman.com and repair sevices i used them when my xbox's were dead and they had the red ring and disc read error they can fix it in ten minutes i watched them install a new tray on mine. anyways they have your problems the disc error and freezing. $9.99 but your yellow light $99.99 the cost to see your ps3 run again.

Short answer its a ..... to fix. Theres multiple lasers in the disc drive that actually read the disc. The blue laser failed. Replacing the drive wont work unless you can reprogram the eeprom chip (or is it nand?) At any rate its just better to upgrade to a new console.

delete all MGS4 files in the Game Data Utility and Saved Data Utility.

this happened to my friend once with his Motorstorm. he deleted all the Motorstorm files and it was now working ok

PS3 is The amazing device by sony but it has some common problems like Disc read error, unreadable disc 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

IT HAS A CAPASITOR IN THE BACK OF THE PS3!!! YOU COULD CHANGE IT OR YOU COULD PAY $20!!! IT BURNS OUT IF YOU UNPLUG IT WITH THE POWER ON!!!

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