Will not play games or DVD's

Console will not play games or DVD's but still plays music that is saved to the hard drive. Problem started after attempting to play the new Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 2. The game updated the system to 3.01 but the game froze up and would not play. Ever since the system will not play games or DVD's.

SOURCE: after playing the new call of duty 4 modern

I had the same problem. Dont you alcohol though as it can remove the protective film on the lenz. go to a chemist and just buy some standard lenz cleaner, apply it to a cotton tip and clean the lense in small circular motions. Then dry the lenz with a clean dry cotton tip in small circular motion.

SOURCE: i turned off my ps3 system while saving now it wont play any disc

IF YOU ARE UNDER WARRANTY SEND IT IN!Try "restoring file system" first. If that doesn't work listen to the drive very close where you insert a disk. If it sound like it is spinning then you probably have a dirty Bluray lens and alcohol and Q-tip fixes it just fine. If you here a "studder" noise (usually in 2 intervals) then you need a new Bluray lens. This tells you which one you need.

My ps3 game called '[PROTOTYPE]' says it has no memory but i just got the ps3 from USA and haven't saved anything. Is there a problem with the hard disk.

It could be just the error saying there is no old save file found, which is normal if you are just starting the game. Play the game and it should attempt to save automatically or ask you to save. Play it for a good 30 minutes, if it hasn't asked you to save it is probably auto-saving. Try turning the system off and trying the game again. If you get the same error about no memory then yes the hard drive is having an issue. Call Sony at:

I put a new drive in my xbox 360 and it wont play games

every DVD drive is "married" to the motherboard. They both have a special key that keeps them together. Without that key the motherboard will not accept the DVD drive and it won't be able to play games ever again. You can extract the key from you old DVD drive and "spoof" it to the new one. That's the only way it'll work.

Cannot play latest game on xbox.

If you have very low hard drive space, the console may not be able to start a new file, or buffer enough content to play a game...

MY xbox stopped saving on my Oblivion game

alright. Auto saving is an option within the game. You can probably find it within the start menu.

Try running a DVD cleaning CD through your xbox. You might have a dirty lens.

Inserted disc press play grinding sound and disc left scrapped

If your xbox box it's new I would take it back and get another one, becase you do probable have problems with your dvd drive and it will keep scratching the games. the laser on the drive doesn't work as hard when playing a music cd than when it plays a game or a dvd.

If you don't want to take it back, then play a couple dvds and if it reads then fine then you could try again. it shiudn't take more than ten second to read a game so if its taking longer just get it out.

Reads music cd only

its because the potimeter "small electrical screw" on the dvd laser assembly needs to be adjusted "the laser is starting to go bad and turning the pot would add more power output on the laser "note that this should only be done by someone who knows how to use a multimeter well and electronics well because doing this can do good and make it read dvds, and doing this could also destroy the laser head assembly too. people do this to make their drives play hard to read cds/dvds. and this method can also drastically shorten the life of your laser. so look into this alot before you attempt. google search "dvd pot tweak" without the quotes

Xbos 360 core arcade

This one is cheaper because it comes without a hard drive. It is just the same as the ones with a hard drive but without a hard drive. Yes you can play all the games but it is recomended that you get a hard drive one. You can save games music and game upgrades on it.
