My playstation 3 is not reading my games & blueray disc

Whenever i put in a blueray movie, DVD or PS3 game they wont load up. My hard drive works, meaning that I can still browse my hard drive and the things I have saved but when I try to insert a disc it wont load. What does this mean? Is my laser damaged? And how would I address this issue? And do you have any idea of the cost and how long it would take to get my system back if I were to send it away?

It needs a new laser because the old one is "burnt out". It's a really common problem with them.

You could send it to Sony, but they take a long time to repair it and charge $150 USD plus shipping and handling.

You could also replace the laser yourself.

I buy mine at http://parts.consolerepairguy.com they run about $75 each.

I run a repair business and that place has best prices aside from Hong Kong which I don't trust.

Playstation will play ps2 games movies an cds but wont play my ps3 games

Hey Ron,

What happens you put a ps3 disc in the drive? Does it not register at all? Does it read BLUERAY movies because if so it should read games as well.

My PS3 wont read any games and dvd Blueray .How can I fix this?

It sounds like you need a new disc drive, but it could just be a dirty lens. If you put the disc in and it just does not spin, you need a new disc drive.

Are Playstation 3's region free?

ps3's are region free for gaming, However, certain functionality specific to the game title may be disabled and unreliable if your game is not from the same region as your playstation 3 system. the blueray dvd will only play your specific country region film dvd discs.
