PS3 not reading any blu-ray

**steve10574** · 7th January 2012

First my ps3 gets very little use it's a new slim but think is over year old got a copy of uncharted 3 cheap from amazon and it will not read any bluray game or movie

The only thing that's changed it it got me to update to 4.0 before I tried the game read a bit online about few other people having same issue but not enough to make it a "gate"

Also it's still plays DVD/cd's and have done a disk clean and reset by going to system menu by holding down power button till it turns off and back on??

So you bright sparks any ideas?

Sounds you tried all the quick fixes only thing left to do is to get a new laser for it mate

Its a known problem that sony doesnt seem to admit is a problem. Might be worth arguing with sony to try and get a free repair out of them.

This happened to me just did a format of the he'd and worked

Sounds like new laser time to me mate in all honesty, especially if you have formatted & done system restores via the recovery menu already.

Yep sounds like a new laser is needed, and given that CD/DVDs still work I assume you will have the 2 lens laser and only the Bluray one has gone.

Always worth using the Recovery Menu first though just to see if it works and maybe save yourself a few quid.

I've just had to replace my laser a couple of days ago. Everything worked fine but Battlefield 3. It just kept saying dirty disc bolloxs but was easy to change. I ordered my laser from a link posted by Herman.
