PS3 problems: Bluray/dvd

Hi guys!

My PS3 has the following issues:

 

- Bluray/DVD dont play (just a black screen. PS button doesnt work while in black screen.)

- When trying to update firmware, it says it already has it. I havn't been online since Feb.

- Plays games fine but once I hit the PS button, the menu pops up with all the icons in "loading" mode and then can't get back out.

- Takes a minute to turn off when done properly with 2 beeps following before shutdown.

- Won't back up data.

- It DOES however sync trophies.

 

Must I just restore it and start over? or just get it repaired? All I want is the trophies and gamesaves. Nothin else really.

 

Thanks guys!

Please use plain text.

Re: PS3 problems: Bluray/dvd

Trophies are connected to your account, and stored on the server. All you need to do is synchronise them again.

Game saves, however, are stored on your console. They can (if they're not copy protected as some games do) be copied to a USB thumb drive or external USB harddrive for backup.

I would suggest calling your local Sony support number and getting advice from them about it first. They may have a fix that avoids any need to lose everything. You can find the number in the back cover of any of your game manuals, or in the PS3 manual.
