    I have the same problem. Wont read anything going into the disc drive.

    We had a problem with XBOX 360 outside of warranty which Microsoft agreed to replace no arguments.

    This system is 13 months old and only just out of warranty wonder if Sony are going to be as cooperative when i contact them tomorrow.

My ps3 stopped working and the only phone number I could find to call disconnected me after 5 minutes of navigating through the rediculous automated menu. I better not have to ******* pay to get it fixed after what happened with my xbox. Its time to ******* riot, who's with me?

    PS3 is The amazing device by sony but it has some common problems like Unreadable disc, sound problem etc.... Good news is that these all problems can be repaired with the help of DIY Guides, one such guide available at PS3 Repair Blog

I think that we should all gang up and flood sony's inbox with complaints. I mean come on all of us are having the same problem. maybe if we do this we might be able to get something done. I bought my ps3 off of ebay so of course i have no original receipt so i am one of the unlucky people who have to pay the 149 to get their problem fixed.

    Hey everyone, I have contacted a law firm that is acquiring info for a
    possible class action lawsuit. Especially for people who live in
    California, but everywhere else too: Please have all of your
    information DOCUMENTED! Write down when your PS3 stopped working and
    why, whether you have a receipt or not, when or if you contacted Sony,
    what was the outcome with Sony, if this defect has ever happened
    before, and what Sony is going to do to remedy this for you. Take all
    the info and email it to: [email protected]
    and write in the subject line "Sony Playstation 3". Additionally, if
    any of you are on another site or are blogging, repost this to spread
    the word. Good luck all!

Two things it could be. Either corrupted disc (formatting will not help this since it's caused by moving the unit while running, damaging the disc and not corrupting files) or your BRD is malfunctioning. If it is only on games and not on movies, I would say it's the HDD, if it's on everything, then the BRD. You can get repair parts on Ebay for the BRD by punching in KES-400AAA and it takes about 15 min. for an expert and about an hour and a half for a newbie to replace. Good luck.

You can fix this it is the laser that is slightly off key use a good guide >> http://www.ylodrepairwizard.com or you can send it in and get it fixed.

Not very hard to fix to be honest you can do it at home.

Yeah you need to send the ps3 into the sony. there has been a lot of problem with the 40GB ps3 the BLUE RAY lens is what has been going out. Once that's out nothing you can do about it. Another **** *** thing is you will have to pay $149 to get a refurbished ps3 NOT a NEW one. This is why i deal with Xbox nrothers and sisters!

Taking my ps3 back for repair, the disc drive is broken or the laser has gone, thankfully i insured it. i have read alot of posts with people having the same problem. i have only had it 4 months this should not be happening. i was in the middle of a game when it said please insert disc, which was already in there, i took it out cleaned it and tried again, it wouldn't read it, tried blu-ray and other game discs and it wouldn't read those either, mine is a 60gb ps3 but alot of 40gb ps3 have the same problem recently.

Ps3 not reading any disc

what you have to do is turn it on and go on to settings. then format the system and wait for it to reset then start it up again and try it. (back up your info first!)
if that doesnt work ring sony and state the problem they should send you a new or refurbished ps3. but you'll need it in warrenty.
