I put in a movie and up in the corner it says "Loading". Well it never stops loading...5...10 minutes. Is the machine broken?

• 1 Allow the movie to load completely, or at least halfway, before you start to watch it to stop video buffering.
  
• 2 Start the movie and then hit stop until the movie has fully or halfway loaded. As the movie is loading, you should see a yellow or gray line. The line you see will get longer as it loads.
  
• 3 Close all windows that you don't need. Having too many windows open will slow the loading process.
  
• 4 Resume play once the movie is at least halfway loaded or fully loaded. By this time, you should be able to enjoy the movie without the video buffering or constant starting and stopping.
  

sounds like you may have overloaded the machine.

First decent post I have seen tonight. Unplugged it 15 minutes and try again. sounds like computer control problem.

This problem is due to in-complete loading,check the loading belt by replacing the same with same dimension.

optical sensor is burned out or the spindle is not spinning the disk to read it.

Sounds to me like the laser has gone bad. What you are seeing is video that is the start screen. The unit is trying to read the disc to play. You could try to tap the unit on the side to jolt the pickup assembly as maybe its stuck in a spot but don't hit too hard and use a disc that you don't mind if it gets scratched. It probably won't scratch the disc but just in case. The Laser can go out even thou its only a year old they are made very cheaply now.
Hope this helps some.

the blue ray laser has two high energy beams at 450nm(bluelight) and 730nm (redlight). the highpower diode on your machine im afraid has failed (due to the extreme heat conditions in ur PS3). you need to install a new laser ..only 100 i charge or 160 from sony (150+TAX 2 week wait)
Now if you have the newer model laser KES410ACA, then you have 2 SEPARATE light sources...these tend not to fail as often

ok...go to the media convertion software that came with the sansa...then press on the button in the upper right hand corner labled add media...go through the pictures and movies you want to load on your sansa and select them...them press convert ont the lower right hand corner...wait until it's done loading and then your pictures should be on there
