Some ps3 games not loading

Turns out the laser was just really dirty so looks like a drive wasn't necessary. Thank you for the advise :. So this thread really helped me. I had the same problem mine wasn't reading any games only movies so I took the disc out held the eject button for 20 seconds, cleaned the eye with a damp micro cloth and moved the eye then put the disc back in now it works!!! This works perfectly my son's ps3 was messed up and it was only reading DVDs and not playing games but I turned on the ps3 held the power button down and waited for the beeps and viola I turned it back on and it was able to read call of duty.

While your PS3 is off, Hold the power button down and keep holding it until the PS3 turns on and beeps once the once again then shuts down about 30 - 40 seconds , Then do the same thing again but release the button when you hear a double beep, This should bring you into a Safe Mode, From that go to [Rebuild Database] it will then reinstall all the device drivers for your PS3, This method should work if not then your drive is stuffed.

My PS3 was working fine and just randomly stopped reading games yesterday. Going to give these a try and see what happens. Show 2 more comments. What about Blu-Ray Movies? The laser diode in the drive actual has 2 laser outputs, a red laser and a blue. Most likely the blue laser is damaged as it is much more sensitive to heat. My son has a ps3 and he has been playing these same games on it we unplugged it and plug it in at a different location, now it says internet or broadband required??
