    You know, this is why I never wanted a PS3.. I got one almsot a year ago and i used itfrom time to time but nothing like a hardcoregamer or movie watcher would… 3 days ago it stopped playing blu ray n reading my games… Ive whiped the harddrive to the default settings and I still ahve no luck although I canw atch DVD n burnt data discs I still cant play games.

    I look at the receipt, my warrenty is up in 5 days… if UPS was even in my town, theyd never get it to sony in time.

    @ConsoleZombie my problem is kinda wierd, as the other peol,e here are saying, my ps3 wont read Blu-rays, but still regular DVD’s and CD’s, but in my case, the PS3 is making a litle clicking sound when i put in a Blu-ray, and after a while, it makes the sound as if it would eject the disc without the disc actually ejecting!

    help??

I rechecked to make sure that everything was all connected how it was supposed to be too. If u have any idea wut mistake i may have made let me kno plz.

  18. themorbidkid187 says:

    @awsomedude720 i had the same problem, not sure what the cause is, but it seems that a few of my disks, when put into the system, it will start to read the disk but after a few seconds make the noise like it wants to eject the disk, but the disk don’t come out. Then if i hit the eject button it pops out the disk no prob.

    I believe my ps3 has trouble reading dual-layered blu-rays..would this be a symptom of a defective laser or is something out of alignment?

  23. det300zx says:

    I have swapped out the bad laser for the goodone and now i have an extra cylinder shaped gear that i cant figure out where it goes back into… please advise.
    Thanx!!

  24. KingGothik says:

    oh, 1 more thing. it is not the laser motor screw as a few videos have identified as a problem associated with my dilemma. just wanted to clarify…

  25. KingGothik says:

    my ps3 will not take in discs and i believe a part of my tray may be out of alignment. Does anyone have any advice or a video that could show me a functioning drive disassembled so that I may identify what piece or pieces it may be…thnx 4 any help
