PS3 Will not read games cd's etc...

I was downloading the updates for little big planet 7 in total as I had not played it in a long time while either downloading the 7th update or installing it, a corrupt data message came up I never thought anything of it but decided to pop uncharted2 in for a quick game it loaded fine but then the while connecting to the multiplayer mode the music repeated in a loop every few seconds then the online game wouldn't load so I booted the system and tried reloading but the disk icon does not show the blue light appears as does the circle in the top right hand corner but no game icon I tried the restore file option on safe mode to no avail anyone else been able to resolve this my warranty expired last October if I have to send it back to sony how much will this cost will I have to make a new psn if I get a new system? I bought it on a credit card and still have the receipt does that gave me any leverage with the store?

Appreciate any Help Thanks

Re: PS3 Will not read games cd's etc...

sounds like the BD drive has failed, although there maybe other issues going on too

 

 

the fact that you have the receipt and paid by credit card stacks the odds of getting the shop to replace/repair you PS3 heavily in your favour

doesn't sound good :smileysad:
although I think you have multiple problems, starting with the corrupt data message, which may have then caused the problem with the blu-ray drive :smileysad:

trying safe mode option 4

MAY help

after that you're into backing up save games etc etc and going for the bigger hammer of safe mode option 5

plus note the bits about what data will be lost in those options - and good luck :smileyhappy:

i think that is what the OP will have to do in the end, and personally i woldn't even be messing about doing system restores, although that may fix their other issues

Re: PS3 Will not read games cd's etc...

option 4 won't loose your PSN ID (it might loose a few photos etc as per the link though)
option 5 WILL delete your PSN ID, but you only have to set the same one back up again (make sure you know the email and password first!), as well as deleting all your saves etc, so it is quite a big step...

because the blu-ray failed after the corruption, you MAY get away with not having to replace it - it MIGHT just be corrupt drivers.
But it might not - it might have just died :smileysad:

that's not a good sign :smileysad:

sometimes, taking the drive out and putting it back in again can 'nudge' the PS3 into sorting things out - but otherwise it sounds like your HDD may be knackered :smileysad:
