I think the best solution of this problem is to play online games. I have been playing online games such as car games and bike games from last so many years without any problem.

My ps3 wont accept any disc. try putting it in but it stays there. Also when i try to put it in the blue light comes on but the game is not in the system, and when i push the blue button afterwards, it...

Hi Sef,

If you are getting the YLOD or yellow light I will run through what causes it and how you can fix it.

Causes:

The yellow light is caused by internal overheating and the main chips that take the damage are the GPU and the CPU.

You need to stop the heat build up and you will be able to get back to gaming again.

Solution:

You can either send the console back in for repair and they will fix it for you, however it will take about 4 weeks to get this done and it will cost about $150 for the repair!

Quicker Solution:

For a faster way to fix it you can use a good YLOD Repair guide that will show you with videos how to stop the heat build up and get back to gaming.

The important thing is to make sure that you get a guide that is up to the job!

Put in a new game, asked to update but ignored, tried to start new game, machine light turned yellow, cannot get game out,

The Yellow Light of Death (YLoD) is a fatal error that occurs when your Playstation 3 (PS3) overheats. It's manifestation - a blinking yellow light on a PS3 that refuses to do anything else.

You have 2 options at this point:
  1. Return the unit to Sony. if your PS3 is still under warranty, the fix will be free; otherwise, Sony will charge a flat fee of $150.

  2. Fix it yourself for less than $80.
    This list contains the necessary tools and components to effect your PS3's meteoric rise from it's YLoDic grave as set forth in this free YLoD Repair Guide.

PS3 does not read any discs after replacing the lens

I uh, recommend doing nothing by yourself. Especially repairing the YLOD (did you use a hair dryer?)

Wiredextreme.com can fix board and disc reader issues.

Or go here and ask them what they think:
