My 60GB Playstation 3 decided it did not want to read any kind of disc again. PS3, PS2, movies, or cds show as being read, but the ps3 will not load them up. Any idea what's wrong?

If you have warrenty send it in to sony, if not looks like you need a new blu ray drive.

even if the laser is dead the XMB will show the loading icon, you can send it into sony for $150 i think if the warrenty is gone, or find a local consol repair shop to fix it for ya. repair shops are normally a little cheaper like $100 or so, or if your a do it yourselfer you can find guides online on how to replace the drive yourself. a drive by itself is about $50 you need to make sure you get the same model number though and there is still the chance that your logic board is the problem but this is less common than the laser dying. just remember that when you swap the drives out to be carfull with the logic board that is attached to the bottom of the drive because you have to use this same board with the new drive because each logic board is locked onto each ps3.

Playstation will play ps2 games movies an cds but wont play my ps3 games

Hey Ron,

What happens you put a ps3 disc in the drive? Does it not register at all? Does it read BLUERAY movies because if so it should read games as well.

My 60gb ps3 stopped reading all discs, ps3 games, ps2 games, blu ray movies and regular movies, help, please

Take a can of air and gently blow some into the drive. This will make sure there is not dust or dirt on the laser.

If this doesn't solve the problem then that means the drive is bad and would need to be replaced.

My ps3 wont read blue ray discs

I had the same issue with my 60GB model, but I did not open up the case. Sony will fix your PS3 (no matter the warranty) for $150.

To me, I would rather spend $150 by getting the blu-ray drive replaced than a whole new system.

It's actually a very fast turnaround time. They send you a box which most people call the "coffin", you put your ps3 inside and take it to the post office. Pretty quick and painless from my experience.

PS3 WON'T PLAY BLU-RAY DISCS

The problem is all in the settings. You probably have a 1080i television that cannot display in 1080p. To fix this go to the main menu and go to:

Settings:

Video Settings

Then Blu Ray Disc and make it turn the Display BD in 1080p 24hz or whatever. Once you do that, start the Blu Ray Disc again, and you should be able to watch it. This all happened because your tv doesn't display 1080p.

Hope this helps!
