3.0 Killed my PS3

After downloading the 3.0 firmware update my games began freezing. First COD4, then MLB 09, COD: WAW, LBP, etc. A day or two later I begin receiving the 80010514 disc read error. Now I can not play any disc based games or blue ray movies. It seems to play DVD's fine. I also can play all downloaded content like demos and movies.

Sounds like the laser diode burned out. If your under warranty send it in. If not you could buy a replacment and install it yourself.

Was playing COD 5 and then after a game was over, went to switch to the next map and it just said Loading... Loading... With the COD logo saying loading. It never loaded, so I waited waited, then had to...

well, it must be a problem with your game files, because most loading processes are done by the Installed game files .
if other blu-ray games are running well, i guess you don't need to worry about the lens .

please try:
  • Reinstalling all your game data files
  • Reupdating your system firmware via USB Device (download the update from Playstation Website)
  • Restoring your system (don't forget to backup all your important files !!)
else, contact Sony support centre for possible hardware issues checking (i belive there isn't anything wrong with your ram or gpu units....)

My PS3 wont even start the latest system update, COD WAW (Error)

First try to update the PlayStation software itself and then update the COD.
Due to specs of PS3 soft none of updates will allow background download. and make sure that your internet connection is uninterrupted, I sugest u to use wired connection rather than wireless, and while update is in progress try to keep all other internet connection requiring equipment offline for smoother process.

Update me about your progress

Good luck

PS3 Issue

the best bet for you is to ask Sony for service,it looks like the console is having major hardware issues..the only other option is to do a reset but you will lose all data..(u can back up though)
