Ps3 not reading discs

The only way to force eject your ps3 disc is to hold down the eject button for up to 30 seconds.
You could try ejecting from within the PS3 menu,
You could try resetting your console by turning it off and then holding the power button down for 30 seconds.

Lots of PS3 owners have reported this issue, and the only common solution is to send it in to sony as your disc drive is broken.

Hi,
Shut off the console with the switch at the back. Press down and hold both the ejection button and the on button. While keeping them held down turn the system back on, but keep the eject button and on button depressed. In a few seconds the console should sound like a vacuum cleaner and the disc should come out.

Good Luck and have a nice day

Hello,

You can try the steps below. Its from PlayStation Forum:

1. Turn off Playstation®3.
2. Hold the power button down; the system will turn on and turn off once again.
3. Once the System has been shutdown, re-press you finger until you hear 2 consecutive beeps
4. When you hear the 2 beeps take finger off power button.
5. You will be prompted to plug in your controller via USB and then hit the PS button
6. The Recovery menu will pop up.

The current Recovery Menu supports:
• Restart System: Restarts the PLAYSTATION®3 System.
• Restore Default Settings: Reset all system settings back to default.
• Restore File System: Checks for corrupt/missing system files.
• Rebuild Database: Rebuilds the OS for the PLAYSTATION®3.
• Restore PS3 System: Fresh restore; Deletes everything and starts from Scratch.
• System Update: Update the PLAYSTATION®3 System

If the above steps still does not solve the problem, then I think will have to update your Ps3.

Update your PS3 (in the settings menu the 1st option).

Go on the internet browser on the PS3 then go on the menu press triangle then on one of them there are delete cookies and the delete the others as
well as cookies.

You could also try this as well: put the PS3 on then press the eject button (with no disc in) then hold it and switch the PS3 off at the back with your finger on the eject button still holding it, then put it back on and the fan test should be working this may cool it down. It might be over heating.

But if your problem is not still solved, then maybe you should call sony for further assistance.

I wish you good luck.

when i was trying to watch my blue ray "young guns" movie, the console wasnt reading the disc. i.e. it was as there was no movie/game in the system. i held the eject button for 10 seconds with the movie out of the console. when the blue light started blinking i continued to hold eject button until the light stopped. i then inserted my movie and........VIOLA!!!!!
now i just need to find a date to watch it with.

You need to open the PS3, then open the blu-ray drive to remove the disc and reallign the gears.

I have a blog page. google: rescuetechla

You should be able to find it. I'll be posting a tutorial soon.

I found a way to eject the disk:

1. Power off the PS3 on the main switch on the back of the console
2. Press and hold the Eject button
3. Turn on the main power switch
4. The PS3 LED will go green and the fan will spin at max speed
5. Wait a few seconds and press the eject button a couple of times, the disk should now eject
6. watch the PS3 die after 30s or so…

This procedure did not fix my PS3 but at least I got my disk back before sending it to Sony for repair.

open that **** up,have similar problem,mine was caused because of a sticker on a dvd, couldnt find my warranty,and force eject wouldnt work,i was afraid to open the bluray drive completely,just to the point where i could manually eject the disc and found a round sticky mark on the disc,the sticker is probably still in there,but keeping the ps3 horizontally seems to help,your problem however could involve with the thingies in the driver not being propperly alligned   

I had the same symptoms. The reason to my problem was that my 2 year old has pushed *three* disks into the console. I got them out through the following, admittedly pretty weird, approach: I hit the eject button, while gently prodding with another disk into the slot (at a slight upward angle). I could feel the disks inside the console rotating or vibrating as I was *gently* touching them with the fourth disk and hitting eject repeatedly. Somehow, the gentle prodding made one of the disk come out a bit, so I could pull it out easily. (I was pretty surprised when a second disk came out, and then a third.)
