PS3 error Code 80010514

I need some help! my ps3 was acting up about a week ago (or less) it was having troubles reading a game i had rented (overlord 2) it was working for the first few days but then all of the sudden it stopped working. I would throw in the disk but it just wouldnt read it. so me thinking its only having a little bit of troubles ill just take it out wipe off the disk a little bit and throw it back in. about 10 minutes of this and finally it worked. so when ever it happened again i would do that. for some reason though all of my games i threw in were not working as well. so now i knew something must be wrong with my ps3! but me being an idoit didnt think about looking after the problem just figured the games are being read. sure it takes a while but i can still play. now just today i threw in one of my games [prototype] and the playstation 3 thing pops up does the little music thing, then the screen goes black and flickers a little bit with a greenish tint on the black screen and goes back to the ps3 menu and it says "An error occurred during the start operation. (80010514)" and thats pretty much it!
oh yes it lets me on the ps3 network and lets me play demos, it also plays non-blue ray dvd disk's!!!!!!!!!
so plz if anyone can tell me of a reason why its not working and also a solution of how i can get my ps3 to work again it would be great!

There might be 2 things wrong with it. 1 the laser is broken or not working right. and 2 the code files that are supposed to read the disk are corrupted either way if you still have warranty on it i would go back and get a new one as long as its not your fault there would be no problem replacing it

FIFA 11 game wont start (PS3) gives me error code 80010514. All other games work fine. Game works fine in brothers PS3. Never had this problem before. PS3 support says they have had a lot of calls with...

It's eiyther one of two problems:

The first is that FIFA 11 is screwed up due to an EA Sports programming glitch within the game - (see http://www.community.eu.playstation.com/t5/Technical-Help/FIFA-11-Error-80010514/m-p/11614173))

OR

The second is that your PS3 is dying and the laser won't read discs. Which gets progressively worse, or so i've read. - (see http://www.ps3blog.co.za/2008/04/10/ps3-error-80010514-explained/)

I'm getting the same error but my PS3 isn't yet 12 months old, so is going back to the store.

P*ssed that I can't play the new FIFA though!!!!

Error code 80010514

Unfortunately, from what I have read, it looks like you should call Sony. This is a hardware failure code and has nothing to do with firmware. Hopefully the system is still under warranty.

Ps3 does not read anything blue ray?will play reg dvds?

80010514

"Sony has confirmed that 80010514 is in-fact a hardware failure - In particular the Blueray drive has failed and this system can not function like this"

In other words you PS3 is malfunctioning call Sony and arrange a replacement to be sent, Unfortunately there is no quick fix and any attempt to do so will void your warranty.

Give Sony a call they are very helpful

Hope this helped

Erroe code 80010514

Hi mastergamer.

Someone else asked it here too:

http://www.fixya.com/support/t950015-error_code_80010514

The best diagnosis for now according to the link I posted in the above URL is that the drive has failed to function correctly ( maybe a bad laser or something) and needs to be sent in for repair.)
