They're useless, and all they're likely to do is damage it further

The stepper motor or the diode have failed, you need to call Sony

I was hoping it was just firmware and could fix......for free! I think Sony will charge me $149 plus shipping to fix it. *******S!!!!!!!!!!

My friends BD drive in his PS3 wasn't playing Blu-Ray movies but was playing the PS3 games which are on BD discs. He told me it happened after the 2.30 firmware update. I went over to his house about 2 weeks ago and I asked him to show me what was happening. All the BD did was after clicking the BD disc on the XMB the PS3 went to a black screen. I changed his settings for turning off the internet access to BD discs from the XMB menu and I tweaked out a setting about "white levels" I think thats what it was called in the video output menu. After that I tried to watch AVP on his PS3 and it worked fine. He told me tried watching the same movie before and it wasn't working at all. He was happy that his PS3 wasn't broken and had to pay Sony to fix it since he has a 60GB PS3 from launch.

My relese day 60 gig PS3 would not play any blu discs (game or movie) after I downloaded either GTA 4 update or the 2.35 firmware update. I called sony to see what I could do and they told me they would send me a box so I could ship it to them. they told me I would recieve a refubished PS3 for $149.00.
It sucks but Im glad Im not forced to pay 3 times $149.00 for a new system.

Same thing just happened to mine. I was playing NHL 08 and the game froze up, which has happened to me before in the past, so I just turned the system off. Went back a couple of hours later to try to play it and it wouldn't recognize any disc (PS3 game, Blu-ray movie, DVD or CD). I as well have a 60 GB and also have the latest firmware update, 2.35. Has there been a thread started to get some kind of idea on how many other users have the same problem?
