Well this is an interesting one; error code 80010514 implies a faulty installation of your firmware.

If you can still access it, try running the System Update (XMB > Settings > System Update).

If the update didn't work, you should backup the data on your PS3 using the Backup Utility (XMB > Settings > System Settings > Backup Utility). What we're going to do to WILL delete the data on your hard drive, so if you don't back it up it'll be gone forever.

Once it's backed up, turn off the console and start it up in
Safe Mode. This link will show you how to access it. Start at option 2 and work your way down through 5. Each option will delete more and more data; option 5 wipes the whole hard drive, thus why we backed up your data.

I'm fairly confident that by using Safe Mode you'll be able to fix your PS3. But if it doesn't work, there's always the option to send your PS3 back to Sony. It'll cost 150$ if you're not under warranty, and you won't see your PS3 for a month or two, but they should be able to fix it. Here's a link to the Service Request page.

Best of luck!

It says error 80010514

Hi

This ia a known error with the ps3 and unfortunately is not that easy to fix. Sony simply have the following to say about this error

"Error 80010514 - Issue reading Disks"

If this error is showing on more than one disk then the problem lies in the blueray drive itself which has become faulty. Sony are advising that these ps3's which are showing this persistant error need to be returned for service. Expected cost is around $150 if your unit is outside warranty.

For information on how to return your unit see this link

Many thanks for using FixYa.

Motorstorm 80010514 erro

your error means this according to what I could find out : 80010514 - Disc error detected. Retrying operation. Do your other games work. If so, then you may have a bad game disc. Or it may be scratched or dirty. If your other discs work, then I would try this game on someone elses unit, or check it for dirt/fingerprints. If that doesnt work, you could try a cd lens cleaner disc..it may help.

PS3 error 80010514

The solution to this error "80010514" is to restore the file system. you have to turn off the ps3. Then press and hold the powr button until it turns off again. Then do the same thing but this time it will make a beep, then it will make a double beep, and as soon as the ps3 makes a double beep release it. Its going to bring up a menu and make sure you press number 3 which is restoring file system. I would recommend going to this webpage which explains everything in better details http://www.ps3blog.co.za/2008/04/10/ps3-error-80010514-explained/
