for some reason my ps3 just stopped playing games. it still goes online but it wont play any game i put in it. i tried calling sony about it but because my idiotic brother tore the serial lable off they wont do anything. so that means i need to fix it myself.
it happened about a week after i first hooked it up to PlayStation network.
the game docent even sound like it is spinning. im guessing that its a hardware malfunction.

so i want to know what happened to it, and how i can fix it.

Do you still have the box or manuals? I believe that those may have the serial numbers. If the game does not even sound like its spinning then your blu ray drive could be broken. I don't know how to replace but someone here did post a website on how to fix your PS3 if it get the YLOD.
The drive itself is easy to take off as i believe its attached to the PS3 with a ribbon and a wires to give it power.Search YLOD fix on youtube. The video guide is under gilksy1. You obviously just want to get to the part where he removes the blu ray drive.
But before doing that is my advice is to look for your serial number as your PS3 may still be under warranty unless you already know that its not.I hear Sony charges $200 to fix PS3s not under warranty.
