(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok so i was playing Black Ops Multiplayer and my mate sent a message for Resident Evil 5 so left game and press PS button, as i press this the whole console freezes and wont respond to anything! So I press the power button and hold it down till shuts off, then I came to reload the console to play Resident Evil 5, I notice no game was showing where the disk icon should be! This starts my anger on 2X XP day!

Anybody know how to fix?

Also to add when i do place a disk in the console the Blu-Ray drive takes the disk, then after about 45 seconds starts a eject then takes the disk again, and still wont load!

Rang Sony they said Blu-Ray drive was on its way out, they want £131 to replace, or I can get a new Blu-ray laser of eBay for £55, i think Sony don't want the customers.

Thanks anyone who replied though

Go buy a lens cleaning cd, it will cost you no more than 5 bucks (more or less). It's worth a try, mine got fixed with that. It's just like a cd but with two small brushes on the sides.

I know how to fix stuff aint a thicko, and for controlers to stop working i would have to break the bluetooth chip.
