My plastation wont show up on my screen - Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) Console

wont take the disk wut finish your sentence or i cant help u if it wont take the disk in then reset the system

It depends on the region that it is playable. I believe the reion code is the problem why it is not playing.

Or there are lots of scatches that the unit is unable to read

HI...
Try dusting it out with a can of compressed CO2. Shoot it into the spaces that you can fit the nozzle into. The try again

There are many reasons to cause PS3 won't turn on and keep red light blinking. It's waste your time and money if you send to somewhere repair - because the same problems will be back after then. The best way is to learn the repair techniques of yourself. There is a PS3 DIY Repair Guide : The author use text and video to show you how to use your hands to open your console and do some maintenance and fixes, at last you are amazing that why you can do that yourself. The best part is you can help your friends too!

Sorry to hear that you have the YLOD (Yellow Light Of Death)

If you dont have any warrenty left on your ps3 then take a look at this guide how to fix YLOD. [ Link ]

If you still have warrenty left i advise you to use it.

I hope this can help you, best luck from here. :)

i believe that means you got a plastation 1 game, try to return it for a new one

plastation 3 will not play game only system set up comes on screen unit has been in operatoin for less than 1 year

does it read any discs at all or just not games? and if it wont read any disc and it just keeps spinning in the corner than more than likely u need a new blue ray drive.

reset ur router

If this is a rental copy the most likely answer is simply that the disk is scratched or damaged to the point that your PS2 can't read it. With rental games you also need to double check that store staff placed the correct disk in the box, have a look at the disk an ensure it is not an XBox copy. This message would normally suggest however that the copy you have is not from the same region as you're PS2, if you have a US PS2 it will only play US PS2 games, if you have a UK PS2 it will only play UK PS2 games Etc. you cannot play UK games on a US PS2 and vice versa unless your PS2 is fitted with a 'mod chip' and you will usually require a 'swap disk' as well. **be sure you understand the copyright issues involved if you decide to pursue this** Another possibility is that it is a DVD R, not a legitimate disk, without a 'mod chip' your PS2 will not read games written to DVD R/RW (and doing so is most definitely illegal regardless what those to cheap to pay for there games will tell you about "backups").
