Your video settings could have possibly been reset and if you run something other than factory default you will need to reset it and try again. All you need to do is place your finger on the power button, but do not remove it and hold it until you get the second beep after about 5 seconds. It should boot up and hopefully work. Good luck.
I have the same problem. My PS3 stopped reading any bluray discs. The spinning circle in the top right corner will come on for a few seconds when a disc is inserted, but then nothing. I found a work-around to get it to read discs though. You have to have a bluray disc in the drive (game or movie) and start a downloaded game or Playstation Home. Once the game or Home loads, hit the PS button on the controller. The crossbar menu will pull up and you will notice the disc icon will (magically) pop up. Click the quit game icon. Once you are out of the downloaded game or Home the disc icon will still be there. You can then load the game or disc. The icon will remain there until you eject the disc, so you will have to repeat this every time you want to load a game. Although this is a workaround to prevent Sony from gouging you for $150+, this is still not a fix. A fix would be for Sony to admit they have a money making firmware problem and fix it. This fix will only work if you don't have an actual hardware failure (which I apparently don't). I think a class action lawsuit is in order for everyone that has this problem and especially for those who have shelled out the money to fix something that is firmware related. I'm sure Sony will only fix the firmware to make this workaround not work anymore so as not to lose their little cash flow scheme.
Umm well thats wat mine was doing and i called up ps3 austrailia and they said that you can call up a reiper man or send it to us and i got the email and adress of them and they fully replaced it for free but uv got to tell them you got it at christmas because they fked up wen they wer making them around christmas sumpin to do with the hard drive but soz i dunno the ps3 aus number u should ask but i got mine replaced instead of paying a repair man bout 200$ i just replaced it for free =P
hi... The inside of the disc player is probably dusty. Video game consoles are notorious for gathering dust. I've fixed dozens that way. Cleaning inside the drive
So your DashBoard doesn't even come up at all? What happens when you turn the PS3 on with the game inside of it? Try using a lens cleaner to see if it is perhaps your laser that is being blocked by dust or something. If nothing works you may need to reload the PS3 Operating System (OS).
