To get it, I have to take the disc out and put it back in, again. I've tried sucking and blowing the disc hole, but no luck.

Can you play movies on it? Have you tried power cycling it for at least 10 seconds? Perhaps the disc drive is going on it?

XD I'm gonna get it replaced rather than fixed, today. There are a few scratches on the bottom which I've noticed. I doubt that's really the problem, but the PS3 has been moved around a lot from my room, to my older brothers room, to downstairs and I don't think my brother has treated it with the best of care. Apparently it's quite a sensitive product. I know that when it's been switched off it's just been switched off via the switch and not been shut down. Maybe that could cause problems. But anyway if it happens again I'll just have to learn to live with it. Why can't products be of good quality? Like the PS2. In the 6+ years that I've had it I haven't had any problems like this. (Well sometimes the laser has trouble reading discs.) EDIT: The new PS3 is fine. Edited by Phlip, Apr 7 2009, 11:28 AM.
