(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); My old ps3 has experienced this, I have a Game still in there, I tried the "hold down the eject button to start fan cycle" trick...but, It doesn't start the fan cycle, flashes twice and returns to red (sometimes stays flashing). Im wondering is there another method to removing the disk without sending it off to sony or opening it up. Any help is appreciated. :bro:

moved this to where you may get some real help

not without disassembling it, if you chose this you will need to take out the bluray drive a remove some screws, its not to hard me and my friends did it, theres videos on youtube on how to, or you could send it to a professional non sony repair business

My bad for posting in the wrong forum, unfamiliar with this site thus far. Appreciate you moving it tho.



Yeah i was kind of expecting an answer like this. I don't trust myself taking it apart lol. I know one or two people that can fix the ps3, but i was kind of hoping to retrieve the game alone. Thanks for replying tho, I was expecting to get bashed coz im new on the site :bat: lol. Cheers man.

ya i never bash people, and yes im sorry but theres really not a way, i mean you can stick like a knife in there and try to pry it open but i dont think its smart, if you had the slim console it would be a different story

Haha yeah, I think i'll avoid sticking a knife in it lol. Only reason i wanted the game was coz im borrowing my nephews game when'ever he's not playing it. Gets annoying when im murdering peeps and he wants to play it lol. It'll cost around €80 to get it repaired, i might just do that, get the game and have a back up ps3. I bought the slimline this time around so its all good

ya slim comes with a manual eject, and yes sending it in my opion is the best option

Oh yeah? I didn't see that been done on the tutorials i checked out on youtube but i'll try it out tomorrow. Cheers :beer:

i think i tired that with mine but i dont think it worked, maybe i didnt though it was like a year ago, best of luck

dude its either ur power supply or u need a reflow youtube on how to reflow for the disc part for fat moddles turn switch on the back hold the eject button turn the switch back on keep holding eject it may take a few secondsslim same thing unplug it then plug it back in
