PS3 Problem

[bateman11]

I have a huge problem. My PS3 isn't reading discs. Like, I will put the game in, and it just won't show up, like it cannot read it. I have tried all my games, movies, even 360 games, nothing. Anyone have a problem like this?

Your lens might have failed. I suggest you call Sony to have it repaired or if you have a store warranty, just have it replaced!

Re: PS3 Problem

Let me guess, you have a 40GB PS3? Ive heard of this but have yet to hear of it happening to anything other then the 40GB model, its a laser problem and Sony should take care of it for you.

Re: PS3 Problem

Yeah, your drive is dead. Sorry. If it's out of the 1 year warranty time, I think they are charging $150 to repair it, but I would call Sony and try to get it covered for free.

Re: PS3 Problem

Thats frustrating. I have already went through 2 360s and moved to PS3 for better quality. Wow.

Thanks for the help, guys.

Does this happen to most 40gbs? I hope this doesn't happen to mine.

The problem isn't as big. Only a couple people here on the forums have had this problem and I haven't seen it much on other forums.

It does seem mostly with the earlier version of the 40GB ones.

The ones without the Spider-man bundle are the 60mn chip ones with a different BR than the 40GB with the Spider-man bundle.

Re: PS3 Problem

Well mine is a 40GB that came with Spiderman and havent had any problems as of yet but at the same time Im also covered through November of 2009 through Best Buy with their replacement plan so Im not concerned with if it breaks or not.

I'm surprised the Xbox 360 games didn't work.

I would have tried Atari 2600 cartridge also...

In all seriousness, this kinda scares me as I have the 40g PS3

I do too, but I have the 2 years replacement plan from Best Buy.

Re: PS3 Problem

No reason to be worried, defective rate is low and if you have a 2 year plan why worry at all. Unless you have some kind special relationship with your current PS3. :wink:

Re: PS3 Problem

Same thing happened to mine about 6 weeks ago. I was pretty disapointed after going through so many 360's but they had it back to me in 10 days... so it wasn't too bad.
