Disk error ps3 will not read disk,is stuck on tool bar.tryed all the odvious!please help!!

Hi, It sounds like there's an error with the laser that reads blu ray media as PS3 games and blu ray movies are both stored on blu ray disks which is read by a different type of laser then a dvd is read by. There's nothing you could do to fix that on your own, the only fix I've heard of is sending it in to Sony.

The error code 80029940 refers to a disk read error.

Does this happen with all blu-ray disks or just some. Also try to play a DVD do you get the same error or do they play fine.

Also let me know me know the model of PS3 you have and what games you have play fine. This will help me see where the problem is at.

The Yellow Light of Death (YLoD) is a fatal error that occurs when your Playstation 3 (PS3) overheats.
The welds that connect vital components to the system board soften and break.
It's manifestation - a blinking yellow light on a PS3 that refuses to do anything else.
You have 2 options at this point:

1. Return the unit to Sony.
   
   if your PS3 is still under warranty, the fix will be free; otherwise, Sony will charge a flat fee of $150.
   
   
2. Fix it yourself for less than $80.
   
   This list contains the necessary tools and components to effect your PS3's meteoric rise from it's YLoDic grave as set forth in this free YLoD Repair Guide.

Try updating the firmware. If it doesn't work, then take it to a repair shop, there's nothing you can do.

• ok make sure you have done the network update.
  Use a duster and try and clean the disk, turn it round bit by bit.
  Also use you hover or use compressed air and clean when the disk goes.

PS3 is The amazing device by sony but it has some common problems like Disc read error, unreadable disk etc.... Good news is that these all problems can be repaired with the help of DIY Guides, one such guide available at PS3 Repair Blog

Hello baddestsob,

Most likely you need a new hard drive. Just take out the one you have and get the same exact one or even one with more GB. You can get them on eBay for about $20-50 (US). Just be very careful not to mess up the screws that hold the hard drive onto the holder. This should save you some money.
OR
If your PS3 is still in warranty then call Sony.

I hope this helps. Good luck!!

the same think happen to my but with different game rsv2
it won t read any discat allif you know something about please help

Can you be any more specific? is this a problem with one disk, one type of disk or all disks? What is the exact error you are getting? Are you trying to play a game, play a film, play an audio CD or are you using your PS3 as a Linux computer and trying to open a data disk? have you tried more than one disk? Without specifics there's just no way to guess what the problem is.

its a problem with the latest download update. sorry to say but its a job for sony as long as its still under warranty. just phone them up explain the probs your having and they will send you a new (normally reconditioned) unit out. i'm getting my new one tomorrow. upset it broke but sony's replacement service is very good.
