Oh my God...that means the Blu ray laser has burned out. Your PS3 has to be replaced.

The same thing ironically happened to me a couple of days ago. You can send it in the Sony for $160, chances are you'll get an entirely new unit.

You can always replace the drive or lens,it will be cheaper than sending it to Sony,but you would need to know what you are doing.

i left it alone all last nite decided to give another go 2day, it works on & off it takes about 6-7 go's of popping in & out the disc, as i sed the drive spins as normal but not rading it so maybe it's just the lens needs cleaning & maybe the drive is ok. (i just dont no) if the drive is F***ed how difficul is it to replace? cos im not sending it bak to sony.To say i only have it 13mths & this happins is a joke i still have my ps1 & ps2 & both still work flawlessy. ¦ ( Tnx 4 the help!

Cleaning the lens might work, but your best bet is to send it to Sony, you dont wanna mess it up.

BTW, marcuista! I havent seen you in a while. Whats goin?
