Games will not load,I have tried movies,and games,everything else seems to be working fine,just cant play movies or games..

probably faulty Laser

Ur ps3 is still working fine it ps3 is updating servers u cant even get on psn they are on it dont worrie

hold the power button down when it is red till you hear the quick beeps then select the file restore. this is a diagnostics screen...you may have to hold the power button in for several seconds....does your ps3 work on a non hidef tv?

Short answer its a ..... to fix. Theres multiple lasers in the disc drive that actually read the disc. The blue laser failed. Replacing the drive wont work unless you can reprogram the eeprom chip (or is it nand?) At any rate its just better to upgrade to a new console.

1.You Should Try to clean your disks 2.put one in and go to games or videos depending on what u r doing and if your ps3 detects there is a game in there press triangle on the disk icon and select play 3.if that didnt work go to http://www.Playstaton.com/Support
Hope it Helped!

your blue ray laser is going bad only gonna get woarse. direct replacement part # KEM-400AAA. very difficult to replace yourself. flat rate is around 180 with the tax.sux right. i sent mine in but it comes back with some warranty.

no this is not normal try to play your games with out go online if it still freezen or the icon for the cd is not there or if is not reading games,bluray movies dvd's anymore your problem can be with the bluray laser lens let me know what it does after you try to play a game or better yet try to wach a bluray movie and see if it stop reading the movie after about 30 mins or less if this happen your tv screen stays black but if you push the PS logo the ps3 ask you if you want to stop playing the disk select yes and your icon for the movie is probably gone this is what happend if your bluray laser is bad it is easier to check this with a bluray movie like a mention here let me know if this is your problem and I have a solution for you thanks

Try playing a Demo game, if you dont have any download it from playstation network. The point is just to force the sytem to play games and if you notice, movies and games are listed under a different folder in the icon's list, so playing a demo game will force the system to play the game and you should be able to play your games fine after that,. Thing is that a game's info might've got stuck in freeze mode when the system was shut off unproperly while a game disk was still inside, that's all. Good luck, dont wanna see any PS3 comrades suffering the unspeakable horridness of not been able to play games. Be strong my friend.

Try updating the firmware version or reseting the ps3.

I had the same problem. No new games would play but the old games played fine. I clicked on the spinning disc icon (where the game should come up) and it prompted me to do an update. I accepted. Once the update was complete (took about a minute or 2) the new games worked fine.
