This is more than likely your laser that is dead or dying and its possibly a samsung or hitatchi drive, be
careful when buying a new laser because there is a lot of dodgy ones around at the minute which can damage
your machine or at the very least will be inferior and not last long.

It could also be the logic board or the drive belt too, if the logic board is faulty no matter how many lasers
you try it will do the same, the fix is to replace the logic board.

if its the drive belt well this is very easy to try and is what id try first, open your 360 tray and look
inside the 360 you should be able to see the drive belt, make sure its attached properly and then take this
out. replace it with a new one and see if this recifies your problems.

SOMETIMES if a drive belt is stretched it will not close properly and then a fault like yours will occur. its
all a matter of eliminations. Drive belts can be found on ebay.

On my ps3 movies play but not games any idea whats wrong with it

I'm guessing your talking about DVDs and game disks, If your PS3 isn't reading PS3 games anymore but is reading DVDs then your laser could be dieing and you may need a replacement.

Ps3 slim blue ray won't play can't find settings

Will it play anything? The laser eye may need to be cleaned. Sometimes the drive will play DVDs but not games, or games and bluray movies, but not DVDs .... in that situation, the bluray laser may need to be replaced

How to play dvds on nintendo wii

You will need to install drivers in order to play movies. At this point playing games and movies from an external hard drive are a better solution for you.....anyone really.

My console works and lets me play online games but it wont let me play disk games how can i fix this

Your Blu-ray drive has gone bad most likely. Try inserting a blu-ray movie to double check. Also, try to play a music cd or a dvd. I usually see that cd's and dvds will play but the BR movies and games will not.If your concole is less that 1 year old, contact sony for a warranty repair. If it is older than 1 year, they will repair it for a cost.

Does the disc drive have glue in it

NO BLUE PRESENT, IF YOU CAN NOT READ THE DISKS THEN dvd player will only play movies for the COUNTRY in which you purchased it. There is no way to purchase a system or configure a system to play ALL MEDIA FOR ALL COUNTRIES. The country codes are specific and each country wants to prevent any other country from playing their dvds music, etc.

Xbox 360 wont play games but will p[lay movies

Well......did you get this Xbox 360 used? This normally happens when a xbox disk drive is switched with another....this is because every Xbox has a specific code written internally into the drive and if the code doesnt match the motherboards code then the system will not play games...only Dvds...sadly you cannot fix this unless you find the origonal disk drive
