I'm having to eject game and turn ps3 on and off several times before it will recognize the game

If your PS3 is still under warranty contact Sony to have it serviced. If it is not replace the blueray drive in it or have a qualified professional do it for you.

Try Go to settings and eject it from the inside

Your disk drive has broken and will need to be repaired/replaced.

There are many reasons cause PS3 disc stuck and console won't turn on. Your PS3 hardware need some kind of fixes. Send back to Sony is expensive. You better repair by yourself. I suggest you bought this guide, you can learn how to trouble shooting and disassembly your console and fix it at last. Good luck!

There are several possible causes, and solutions for the red lights.

Try viewing the page below, and following its instructions to narrow down the fix ..

Hi, i'm assuming you have a 40GB phatty PS3. Let's try this: - turn off the ps3 with the main switch, behind the console - press the EJECT touch-key on the front, HOLD on it while you turn on the console with the main switch... keep holding the eject key, if it'll work you'll get your disc out. If it won't work just try a couple of times more then if you don't succeed please advise me with more information about your PS3 model and I'll try to bring you other solutions :) Regards, Peter

Unfortunately, you are going to need to have your PS3 serviced by Sony. To eject your game, flip the power switch on the back of the PS3 to off. Then press and hold the eject button and turn the switch back to on again. This should eject the disc. Best of luck with the repair.

1. Try turning the ps3 on and off and then hitting eject.

2. Do Not try to open up the playstation. You may do more damage than good.

3. Try to halfway insert another game, cd, or dvd into the playstation 3 and press eject.

4. Here's the one that worked for me. I slid another compact disc into the console almost all the way but still holding on to it and pushed up as I pulled the disc back out. To my suprise another disc began to slide out with it. I had no idea how many discs were actually inside the ps3, but when I hit eject the original game that was in there still would not come out, so I new something still wasn't right. I repeated the process a few more times and low and behold, I had a total count of four, aside from the game. At last, eject finally pushed hubby's NBALive out of the playstation.

press and hold eject button for around 15 seconds, it resets the cd drive, hope this helps

That happend to me and i just restarted the PS3 several times and it finally ejected.
