Weird noise the other day i was playing my ps3 when it suddenly made this really weird grinding noise, i ejected the disc straight away but the noise remained. once i turned the console off and turned it back on it was fine and there was no damage to the game i was playing....please help

Make sure that you do not have the PS3 on it's side. Lay it flat. Insert a MOVIE DVD first and see if it will recognize the disc.
If you continue to hear a grinding sound when the ps3 is laying down that could only mean one thing, you need a replacement drive.

Dont forget to Always update your Playstation to the newest firmware.

its the same prblm im facing.. jst chk out the disk scratches if it is there.. then jst replae the cd. and if it is not, then go to authorized SONY stores and make its servicing...

1. First shut down the system by flipping the power switch in the back off.
2. Hold down the eject disc button.
3. While still holding down the eject button, flip the power switch to turn back on your PS3.
4. When the green light comes on, wait a few seconds then tap the eject button a couple times. The fan will run on full power and the disc will eject.

When you pulled the controller, and the Xbox made the "weird noise" it was probably caused by the game sliding out of the tray. This can happen when a disk is spinning in the console and the console suddenly jerks in any direction.

disc may be off balance or something stuck to the hub, the spindle motor may have failed. Call sony tech support to see what your options are, is it still under warantee?

Number 1, Stay away from PS3 for right now as it is very unreliable., If you must, get a good warranty.

Fixing the PS2. Get a magnifying glass and bright flashlight and pick the dust, dirt and lint from the Lasers optical path. Also , you might see smudges ot scratches that restrict the optics. .

My grinder was not working properly, because the blade was not rotating freely. So we carefully chipped away some caked on coffee residue. Then it worked for awhile, but started to sound weird and only partially grind the coffee. So we applied a small amount of vegetable oil to the blade and let it seep down a little, and that was very succcessful! Just needed a lube job!
