So I got a problem, presumably with my 120gb's blu-ray laser. Or maybe the blu-ray drive, I'm not sure, that's why I'm posting :)
I get intermittent freezing when running things from a disc (games, netflix, etc), the problem is it's not really a problem. Sometimes it never happens, even after hours of gameplay! This leads me to believe it's a small problem (dirty laser).
But when it freezes, the picture stops (once in a while it'll shift 1 frame -> ~0.1fps, haha) but the audio will continue on whatever was loaded at the time of freeze. For example, in Gran Turismo 5, you'll still have a reactive X button to rev your engine, and you'll periodically hear a 'choked' engine sound of a rival racer. Reminds me of a scratched CD in a walkman. This leads me to believe it maybe means a bad blu-ray reader in general.
Again, I don't really know enough about the ps3 to identify the problem, and need to know if I should attempt to crack the case and clean it, or send it to sony, or fix it myself? It's out of warranty.
