This is actually a really common problem and involves the laser inside your console. Your system actually has 2 seperate lasers (or a dual laser) inside it. One for DVD discs and one of Blu-Ray Discs. Your first step is to get a laser lens cleaner cd from a local computer repair shop or CD Music store. If this doesn't work, then your Blu-Ray laser might have gone out of alignment, or there is a large enough amount of dust on it that a laser lens cleaner won't work. At that point you will need to contact PlayStation about a repair :( Sorry

Wont play

If its not a power problem, notice that the servo motor is spinning or trying to spin with a disc in the tray.
-listen carefully for a high pitch or whinning sound of the motor.
-do you have a reading on the screen? No disc or reading disc?

One of the above can be:
1- a defective laser (it wont illuminate)
2- a broken flat cable to the laser (you wont hear clicking sound when reading)
3- a bad servo motor that can not reach its speed to read the disc (has to spin at a very high speed)

Hope you can solve the problem, succes

Our wii wont read disc

If Wii gives Disc Read Error, first step you need to check is to try another disc or clean the exisitng disc. This will confirm that problem is with either Wii or Disc. If the console itself is giving disc read error then it needs to be repaired. You may check out DIY Wii Fix Guide, that will show step by step information to fix the problem yourself. It also gives information on fixing many Wii Related Problems, so its a kind of Wii Problems Reference Fix Guide.
