My ps3 is not working




By ncrum on Dec 28, 2008

" "
I was playing nba live 09 and the game froze so i turned it off from the back switch.So i decided to let it cool off for the night.The next day i went out and bought saints row 2,put in the game and it didn't read the disk at all.The only thing that seems to be working is that freakin spinning circle in the top right corner.What do i do?

It's a Sony defect with the blu-ray lasers. They only last 1-3 years with average use. If your PS3 is less than a year old and you still have the original receipt Sony will repair the problem for free. Otherwise they're going to charge you $150 for the repair. You can reach them at: 1-800-345-SONY

Unless you have a technical background in electronics there's nothing I would suggest doing. A firmware update and or CD /DVD cleaner disk will do nothing for your problem. I've fixed more than 100 PS3's with this exact problem so I know exactly what I'm talking about.
