After playing my ps3 I went to quit the game and shut it down.
While doing so the sysytem went blank and locked up.
So I shut it down with the power switch.
The next time I went to play a game the disc icon doesnt come up.
When I put the disc in the blue and green lights come on but nothing happens?
Could this be a software problem since it I didnt shut it down properly?
Any suggestions would be helpful.

Mine stopped reading discs also. Mine does something weird. I have taken the unit apart to see what is going on. The blue laser still works, but it will not load a bluray at all. It will load cds, dvds, and ps1/ps2 games, but not a ps3 game or bluray. Anyone know the culprit to that?

For you two guys, probably your lens is dead !

ooZERooo, I had several PS3 that could read disks excepted BR and that was because the blue beam part was dead as the diode for PS3 40Go is a triple beam diode, so one can be dead and the others work !

Would cleaning the lens help?
Does anybody know where to get a new lens and how hard is it to replace?

I don't recommand cleaning the lens, as it killed two lens for me !!

Changing the lens is not difficult as you can find several tutorials on the net, whether it is text with photos or videos on youtube !!

The hardest thing is to buy a lens which is not refurbished or worst, already dead !!!
