I tried to play a blue ray disc (not the first time) on my ps3 and when I switched to the right input mode, a small horizontal bar appeared which grew to cover the entire screen. This problem is not covered by the warranty (owners intructions manual) GRRRRRRR. Please help.

If the set is less than a year old and having a problem, then, it is covered under warranty. Does it happen when watching something in analog? Does it happen when watching something in High Definition? I think the diagnosis would be helped with a picture of the problem. For a servicer in your area contact: 1-800-Samsung.

Won't play a blue ray disc

The blueray eye is out. You will need a new blueray player. The only problem with that is the ps3 will only respond with the orginal parts it came with. ( i.e. motherboard blueray player ) So the best bet is to buy a broken blueray player and take the eye out and replace it with yours just the eye not the whole thing.

I have the ps3.60.After switching on and putting in dvd(blue ray) the tv screen shows ps3 on the right of tv screen then the ribbon across screen but does not progress any further, almost as though frozen...

it may be that your ps3 automaticly loads the disc and has already started to play it and it might be trying to change the resolution(happens to me all the time) try un pluging your lead then plug it back in
hope this helps

Screen freezes playing Blue Ray discs only.

I answer this question like ten times a day so don't feel bad.

The blu-ray laser in your PS3 is a three part laser (cd / dvd / blu-ray). They last only 1-3 years with average use. It's a Sony defect.

Check out my common PS3 problem and repair guide for tips and suggestions for your problem.

PS3 - green Bar when playing blue ray on my 50" Phillips Plasma

Green bar or border is due to wrong AV Setting. To resolve this just insert the Blue-Ray DVD and begin to play. Press the Triangle button and select "AV Setting", in AV Setting change Video Output to RGB.
