Would anyone know what's going on with my PS3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGRrFgZZ2og)? I did a system update in order to play LBP. After that, I could feel my PS3 became very hot by touching its surface. Then my PS3 started to have problem reading any discs (blu-ray, dvd, cd, etc). I could insert any discs into the blu-ray drive without problem, but the laser seems not able to detect any of them, nor does the screen show any kind of pop-up. The PS3 just gives a seem-to-be "invalid disc" beeping sound whenever a disc is inserted.

I opened it up and everything looks clean.

I wonder if it is a problem to the blu-ray laser, or problem with the mainboard...

Please help, thanks!

laser issue, for some reason, a lot of people are having problems with their lasers after the recent upgrade, although i've updated 4 PS3s without problems, but they had already been fitted with new lasers
