Could be several issues. If it is under warranty Sony will fix it for free. If it is not under warranty then you can try to fix it. Try the easy solution first. Clean the lens. You have to take apart your ps3, remove the blu ray drive and take that apart. There are videos and tutorials on how to do that. Get some lens cleaner, clean it with a qtip and put it back together. If that does not work then you can buy the laser lens, or the whole assembly either online or from ebay. Cost anywhere from $30-$70. If out of warranty and you want to send it to Sony I think it costs around $150 to fix.

My PS3 is 3 yrs old never had a problem till last week when my blu-ray discs started freezing and then noticed games freezing also. So now we do not use it. We get a invalid disc error with blu-rays and...

Well from what i hear it is just that the laser inside the ps3 that reads the disc could be damaged, dirty, or even not in the right spot. sometimes the read laser that reads the disc can move from on spot to another if you hit the ps3 or if it falls (ETC).

PS3 stopped reading PS3 games

This is most likely do to a previous freeze up while on the PS3. All you have to do is to first disconnect all of the plugs and wires. Then you put them back in and turn on the PS3. It should read your PS3 game discs.

My ps3 keeps on frezing whe am playing games

Could be the laser not being able to read the discs or the graphics chip developing a fault. Make sure your discs are clean.
If it is the laser having problems reading the discs, you can put your ear to the console and hear it skipping and struggling to read the disc.
If the disc isn't struggling to read, it will be the graphics chip freezing because of bad solder joints.

PS3 Not Reading Games


If you have this problem it is because the laser has shifted from where it needs to be and the good news is that it is not that hard to fix all you need is a good repair guide.


You can of course send it in but the disc reading issue you should be able to fix in less than 1 hour from home.
