Question about Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) Console
I just bout maadden 2008 and it will not play at all
Heres the problem ladies, Your system is at its end. Wear and tear has screwed it. I am a game system repair tech and I am experiencing the same issue. You can try a few methods. Clean the dvd rom with a cd cleaning device. Tip it on its side. Vert seems to work cause of a less friction spin. Some tv's will support massive resolutions and the software won't. This seems to be a major issue in the ps3. See it auto detects that nice 1080p or what not your tv has but some times the software will wig about that and not perform. Try turning down your massive resolution to a more practical one. The issue I am having is that the CD's, DVD's, and even my pirated stuff runs like gold but nothing blue ray works at all. This is caused by either the reading device just kicking the bucket or because the drivers have some how been diverted. Some install you have done homebrew. The more likely issue is that it just died. Sorry... Sony kicks all sorts of ****. The PS3 is the only gaming solution. So don't get mad at its problems. It has very few issues. But this is one of them. PS2 had the same problem. Remember having to tip it on its side to get it to work... same thing here. Why you have to do that is because the eye is having issue rendering a complete line of code from what it is reading. Could have been knocked slightly out of place, could be dirty or filmy, could have just been probed by an alien and is offended by that and doesn't won't to work any more. Either way you have to face facts, it is dead. Here's the fix. Send it to Sony. If you are still under warranty you will get it back soon with no cost to you and it will work perfect (till this happens again). If you aren't under warranty, it will cost about $150 US but it will work and be cheaper then buying a new one. The other fix is that you could replace it yourself. It would require a new eye and a specialized screwdriver. The eye will cost alot more then $150 and the screwdriver isn't something you can get at a hardware store and cost alot too. So if you want to play the Blue ray disc you just need to get that thing back to Sony and they will replace it. If you have the original one and you are saving it like I am. Will it is now ready to be placed on its shelf to forever collect dust. You of course could figure out how to run discless ISO's but again if you knew how to do this you would be able to figure out that your PS3 is toasted and needs a replacement eye.

BornEvil, while your advice sounds somewhat useful. The part about the system just being old is a bunch of crock. This is the second ps3 I've had that the blue ray has stop working on it. They were both under 7 months old. I know one person doesn't make that much difference but I will never use my hard earned money on playstations again.

How to fix ps3 blue ray! ok first of all stand up your ps3 then lean it to the right where the usb hub is leaning down and to the right then insert a disc doing this will make it act funny make scary sounds and go crazy. try to eject the blue ray disc and it prolly wont let you. but youll be scarred cuz your gonna hear disc sounds youve never heard before so keep trying to eject then turn off the ps3 with the disc still stuck in there. lay it flat now on its belly then eject the disc while shaking the hell outta your ps3 and reinsert the disc and bam! full blue ray functionality

Hank, I had the same problem. To fix it, I just went to >Settings>Video Settings, and turn off BD 1080p 24Hz Output (HDMI)

My son's PS3 did the same as most; Playing CoD4, froze, then would not play any blue ray games. Only DVDs and PS1. Ready to give up, no warrenty. Read the posting about moving the machine to a vertical position and holding down the eject button for 10 seconds to reset. Blue Ray games that would freeze earlier today are noe working! Who would have guessed? Thanks Much

I had this same problem when I rang sony about it they told me it would cost over $350 to fix glad I told them to shove it because a dvd lazer cleaning disk is all u need just run the dvd as directed and it fixed my ps3 straight away (I bet thats what they would have done first anyway

SOURCE: my playstation 3 will not play any blue ray dics at all
This answer courtesy of Sony USA support.
In the Settings menu
BD/DVD-->HDMI 1080p 24mhz
This will be set to 'Automatic'...change it to 'Off'
Now try to play your Blue Ray disk. It should work.
I got this from answerbag after doing a search for you
Hope it helps

I was playing pro evo on my PS3 and all of a sudden the game friezed so i pressed the ps button in the middle of the controller and quit the the game i cleaned the disc well and put it back in and for some reason it never worked and now nothing works Cd's dvds blue-ray discs games none of these work i dont know why cause i only bought the dame thing at christmas and paid ALLOT of MONEY for it i never drop it or anything it just stop working all of a sudden does anybody know how i can fix it or even tell me what the hell the problem is.
wtf nothing is fixing this and i m not paying that much mony for a new one
for some strange reason my playstation 3 wont play cds,
it stoped working in a matter of mins and dont understand how 2 fix it!
Same thing happened to me, I was playing NCAA 2009 and it froze up. Pressed PS button, nothing happened. Held down the power button and shut it off. Tried to get on and play the next day, game did not even show up in the menu. The disc was in the drive, could hear it spin once. Sounds like a dirty laser in the disc drive. I'm going to pop it open tonight and clean the laser. If works, I will post a youtube video for you all...I've had this problem with my PS2 in the past, cleaned the laser and worked good as new!
it started to play a movie then gave an error code and wont display anything at all
The same problem just happened to me. PS3 won't play anything blue
ray............games or movies. I called Sony tech support and they
are fixing it under warranty even though it is 5 days over the 1 year
warranty. I am not happy that it's broke after only 1 year, but I am
relieved that Sony is stepping up to the plate. I just hope that it
doesn't happen again 12 months from now.
Has anybody tried swapping the blueray drive from another PS3? I'm curious if that would work or if there is an electronic serial number that binds each blueray drive to its PS3. If not, I'm buying another PS3, swapping drives, then returning it... I really don't care. This **** is ridiculous and a company as big as Sony really needs to fix stuff like this BEFORE hardware is release to the public.
It won't read any of my games or blu ray disc it ahs also erased everything
I've never seen so many people with solutions that don't know shite. It's a problem with the firmware updating the blueray drives.
We tried to put a blu ray disc (Wanted) in but it wouldn't play
Won't play Blue Ray. It used to. Now I get a message saying can't support playback, or something like that.
The error code 80010514 pops up.
i bought the new tomb raider it froze and now my play station wont do any thing no blue ray no games nothing how can i fix it

but it will play the ps2,ps1,games and regular dvds.
now when i put a blue ray disc in it shows the disc loading but once it stops thats it no game icon or starting automaticlly of the game
so yeah what to do
My PS3 will not play blu rays. It will play DVDs and ps2 games. Kind of disappointed that the console doesn't last long at all. I spent $635 on this piece of ****. It really stinks. I've been a playstation fan since it very first came out. Now I'm thinking of going with the x box. Really don't want to, but I don't want to have to spend $150 to get it fixed when I haven't had it very long at all. I got the 60 gig when it first came out. i was very impressed with it until now. Some one please help!!!!!!
my ps3 does not recognize any dvd, cd, et.
does not play the blue ray movie just the previews.
MY CONSOLE WILL NOT PLAY GAME OR MOVIES TRY TO RESTORE BACK TO LAST UPDATE DID NOT WORK
PS3 is The amazing device by sony but it has some common problems like sound problem, video problem 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.
