My ps3 does not read discs anymore

Make sure that your firmware is updated correctly. Also make sure the games are the correct region for the unit you're playing on. You may have an incorrect region setup on the PS3. PS3 games are region locked, either being PAL or NTSC. If the PS3 is set to read PAL (by being set to a region that is PAL, like the UK, Europe, and Japan) it will not read or play an NTSC disc.

Misconfigured or corrupted firmware installations can also cause this problem. Furthermore, pirated games will not play, because they do not have the appropriate security key on the disc.

You can try testing this by creating a new profile on the PS3 and trying to play the games. If you can play them with the new profile, then there is a corruption with the old profile. If you can't play them in the new profile, then it could be the firmware.

Lastly you may have a blown drive. Most PS3 games are dual layer blu ray discs capable of storing large amounts of data. The blu ray drive in the PS3 uses a sequenced dual laser to read the game. If one of the laser emitters has blown, it won't read the game correctly. However, since it doesn't use both emitters to read blu ray movie disks or dvds they'll still play correctly.

try a dvd if that does not work contact sony for service

ok try doing a format and if that doesnt work then go get a new laser because games and blu ray take more power to work so the lens cant give that much anymore

A bad laser could affect the sound cause it can't read all the information from the disc. Try games as well and see if it does the same thing, sounds like a new drive is in order. There is one laser in those drives and require different strengths to read different discs. Also try a music disc that you know is good. If your still getting the same issue then get the drive replaced or just replace the laser if you have some technical knowledge.

your blue ray player is broken you have to send it back to sony if you have warrenty its free but if you dont its $150

sounds like it could be a dirty lens buy a lens cleaner disk (bout 10 bucks) this should fix your problem

If it's under year old then ring Sony, my friend had this recently and they had a new PS3 within 3 days!

When Blue ray disk is placed into slot it seems like it is going to work and the screen on tv shows the entro for sony but nothing happens. Controls on controller will not function.

Me too dude, down right disturbing. We are all getting F-ed!!!!

have an 80 gig machine, downloaded the aptch, played 1 game of CoD and it froze. WTF!!!

u might want to go online and type clean discs the clean ur discs and they start working again orgo into game and they give u a new ps3
