Should've gone to best buy and gotten a protection plan.

Here are the solutions I tried but no luck

Here is it copy and pasted.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you can, I suggest you back up your PS3 first. The menu that you will access to can fully erase your PS3 if you choose the wrong option! I do not take any responsibility! Please proceed at your own risk! If you read and follow the instructions exactly you should not loose any data! Feel free to ask questions if you are confused so you don't make a mistake!! Sorry, I had to say it, I don't want anyone mad at me if they make a mistake, don't back up their data and erase it, and then blame me…

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The current version of the ps3 firmware has a "recovery console".
You access it by

1. Start with having the system in standby (redlight is on)

2. Hold the power button down; the system will turn on and turn off once again.

3. Press and hold the power button again and keep holding, it will beep as it turns on and then it will double beep. When you hear the double beeps immediately take your finger off the power button (if your system turns off before you get a double beep just try again and hold the button, it should double beep the 2nd time you try)

4. You will be prompted to plug in your controller via USB and then hit the PS button

You will now have a screen with these options

1. Restart System: Restarts the PLAYSTATION[emoji]174[/emoji]3 System.
2. Restore Default Settings: Reset all system settings back to default.
CHOOSE THIS ONE 3.Restore File System: Checks for corrupt/missing system files.
4. Rebuild Database: Rebuilds the OS for the PLAYSTATION[emoji]174[/emoji]3.
5. Restore PS3 System: Fresh restore; Deletes everything and starts from Scratch.
6. System Update: Update the PLAYSTATION[emoji]174[/emoji]3 System

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO NOT CHOOSE THE WRONG OPTION HERE OR YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR DATA. The one that fixed my blu-ray drive is option 3: RESTORE FILE SYSTEM


I REPEAT CHOOSE RESTORE FILE SYSTEM

After this, it is going to restart and bring up a screen reading something like "you have Corrupted System Data. Your PS will now replace this data" Then you choose continue and that should be it.

This option reinstalls the system files and drivers inside the PS3 with the original ones that are stored on your hard drive. In this case, it replaced a corrupted driver for the blu ray drive thus fixing my issue and hopefully yours!! This option will only replace all system files thus saving you from loosing any data that's stored on your hard drive. Again this option does nothing to your hard drive it reads a file from the drive and rewrites it to the PS3 system.

Here is a video of the recovery screen.

If you want a more technical understanding of what this is really doing continue reading. DO NOT NEED TO READ THIS TO COMPLETE REPAIR. The PS3 does not boot from your hard drive as a computer does. It has a flash memory like a cell phone that stores all system files and system firmware updates that you get when the PS3 updates. This is why reformatting your hard drive will not fix your problem, none of the system files are stored on your hard drive (ex. XMB, system firmware, etc.) nor do they run from the drive. However, your hard drive does contain a full backup of your SYSTEM files and thus when you choose option 3: RESTORE FILE SYSTEM it rewrites the original system files from your drive (which aren't corrupted) back to the flash memory which is corrupted thus fixing the problem.

I HOPE THIS HELPS AND AGAIN DONT HESITATE TO ASK QUESTIONS!!

End of copy+paste.

Here is the Youtube video of the recovery menu.

HOPE THIS HELPS!

I am trying to find a solution to the problem. Try this. Someone put it in my post.


Hi guys,

Please try this and let me know if it works:

First, check if your PS3 spins the disc or not. To do that, insert a disc and pay attention to the label position. Wait for a few seconds and then eject it. If the label is in the same position, it means it's not spinning. In that case, you should do the following:

Put your PS3 in stand-by (pressing the I/O button at the front)
Turn OFF your PS3 using the switch in the back
Press the I/O button in the front and keep pressing, while you turn ON the switch in the back (keep pressing the I/O in the front)
Without releasing the I/O in the front, you should hear a "beep" (typical of a hard reset). Keep pressing the I/O button in the front until you hear a second "beep". Then release the I/O button and you will see the screen for a "Hard Reset"
Now, insert another disc (different from the one that caused your problem, although I don't think this is important)
Configure the PS3 and the game should begin without any problem.

If that doesn't work, I read the PS3 Drive can be reset by pressing and holding the "eject" button for more than 10 seconds.

Willing to try this tomorrow.....

yesterday i had a post on here about sony repairing my ps3, but today my Blu Ray Lens cleaner came and as soon as i finished using it. my ps3 is reading disk fine now every time i put a disk in its reading it.

then after quick match system freezes
doesn't read any disc anymore
troubleshooted all afternoon no luck( tried the recovery)

This must have something to do with firmware update

Its not the firmware because the firmware is just screwing up peoples PSN but I think his laser burned out

Me neither. Particularly when its clearly a defect from the factory makes no sense, least Microsoft owned up to their defects.

Free warranty is over Summer of 2010. After that its coming out ofyour pocket.

RIP to a fellow PS3 user.

Post an ad on CL to see if anyone will fix it. You live in NY, someone can fix it.
