Disc drive stopped working

have you cleaned the laser with a dvd cleaning kit?

Your bios seems corrupted. You will probably need to reflash from a thumb drive which is bootable. The F2 should get you to booting screen to access the thumb drive to boot from to flash the bios.

This is the 2nd most common problem with PS3's. This isn't a bad problem. Your laser/lens will need to be replaced. Do you see the time clock in the top right corner going around and around? If so, you are just having laser/lens problems. If you do not see the time icon spinning when you insert a disc, your PS3's Blu Ray drive controller board has gone bad and you will need to send it to Sony and not a 3rd party technician. Certain problems are only repairable by Sony. Good luck.

Good day!Disc drive can't read the disc inserted..try another disc..

when it tells you to take out every disc, leave the recovery disc as it contains the files needed for it to recover your system to factory specs

Try deleting it in the device manager and then reboot your computer to see if it will detect it, then when it asks, point it to the driver.

The motor which rotates inside along with the hard discs and the spindle might have got loosened
If this is in warranty then get it replaced , other wise you might need a new one
I also dropped mine some time ago and it made a very harsh sound , on taking it to a hardware expert who found after opening it that the spindle was loose so after tightening the screws it all started working fine but sometimes it is so bad that replacement is the only option

Various issues can cause drives to occasionally balk at writing optical discs. These run the gamut of physical, hardware, and software troubles.

Inappropriate or dirty media may be to blame. Make sure to match the type of recordable disc to the drive, and check each disc for fingerprints or other contaminants. If a disc is dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft cloth in a straight line from the center hole outward. Try a quality optical drive cleaning disc if you suspect dust contamination on the drive’s laser lens.

Some discs don’t perform well with certain drives, even within their rated speeds. Try recording at a slower speed and then with a different brand of disc. Also, on PCs, verify that the temporary file storage area on the hard drive used by the burning software has enough free, defragmented space. Allocate at least 5GB for a DVD (9GB for a double-layer [DL] disc) and about 1GB for CD burning.

Maybe you need to wait a few days for it to work again, or maybe you can replace the disk drive.
