    talz asked:


    I bought my ps3 2 weeks after it was released and for a good year and a half it has treated my very well. But a couple of months ago it started getting harder and harder to read brand new games. And the other night it completely stopped reading any PS3 game and Blue Ray disc after i had just bought a new game. So i thought it was the games fault and went out and bought another copy and still the same thing, after hours of trying i went out and bought a dvd lense cleaner the guy are target suggested for my ps3. at first it worked and i got to play the game it did not last.

    So far my ps3 doesn’t read anything BD (games come in BD format). But dvds and ps2 games work instantly

    I have already contacted Sony with no help. So please don’t suggest talking to some tech support guy that lives in india for help. already done that.
    Its been updated to the newest version. I’ve restored and formatted the ps3. Still no help. The guy from Gamestop told me that i could take off the front panel and clean the lense manually. I would like to try this but could not find screws or anything that would release the panel, the ps3 manual has a section about this but doesn’t show you how to do it

    • Maybe try to do a System Update to update the firmware version of your PS3.

    • You’re screwed. Its a faulty Blu-ray drive. Sony had the same problem with PS2 and DVD if you remember. The only problem Sony has is they want to use the newest technology but its so new they hadn’t perfected the reliability factor. The only thing you can do is to keep trying the lense cleaner or send it to Sony and pay $150 to get it fixed. Sorry about your luck man and I hope everything works out for you.

    • The same problem of the user “gavin”??
      take a look to my answer in his question two questions up from this.. ;)
