At wits end with ps3 not readn discs

Step 1: Does another game disc work?
Step 2: If so then the problem lies within that disc. If another game disc does not work check all your discs for scratches.
Step 3: if your discs are all Dirty/Scratched try cleaning them with a soft cloth or disc cleaner. Step 4: If none of these yield results try cleaning out the disc sensor inside the ps3.
Step 5: this can be done with a compressed dust cleaner (spray can) or a very SOFT brush. You do not want to damage the ps3. Step 6: This should yield results. If not then there is a hardware malfunction.

You might have multiple issues going on here. First take a can of air and blow some air gently into the dvd drive. This will make sure there is no dust or dirt on the laser. If you still can't get any discs to load then the drive is probably bad but since no controls are working new or old, it could be a motherboard problem in which you would need to either get it replaced by Sony if your ps3 is under warranty or just get a new PS3.

Have you tryed to clean it wit a lens cleaner. Sounds like just needs a good cleaning.
Hope this helps you

You seem to have alot of problems with your console.

How old is your PS3?
Not loading 1 particular disc or all disc?

Assuming you PS3 starts up into the console screen, and fairly used, it might be time to replace the lens.

You can try cleaning the laser lens with a cd / dvd lens cleaner cd.

This usually doesn't work, your problem is 98% of the time caused by a Sony defect in the blu-ray drive itself.

The drive will gradually get worse and worse.

If your system is under warranty then by all means get it repaired by Sony for free otherwise you're looking to pay $150 for Sony to repair their own mistake.

You can reach them @ 1-800-345-SONY

They'll probably suggest another System Restore, Firmware update and a 100 other solutions that won't work because it's hardware related.

Sorry for the bad news.
