Working from the massive amount of detail you have provided us with, i'd guess that your Blu-Ray drive isdying/has died.
Untill you provide some more details however, I'm not going to waste my time searching for information for you.

from forum rules.
7. Describe your problem specifically -- including the thread topic, because this helps people who are willing to answer to you.

The PS3 uses a different laser for DVD's, Blu-Ray disks, and CD's. It's quite likely that just the Blu-ray diode has crapped out. Is the PS3 still in warrenty?

Read through the thread I provided...you cant replace the whole drive as it is married to your motherboard. You can, however, replace the laser within the drive. You find all the links and information needed in that thread.

CAPSLOCK DOES NOT HELP.

Multiposts do not help, either. There is an Edit button on the top right hand corner of each message.

Also, you can easily find the Sony contact number by looking:

1.) on the official PS3 site.

2.) in your user guide.

3.) through Google.
