/aaaccck! The PS3 itself is fine. I can play my PSN games just fine and my machine is not YLOD. I just popped in uncharted and while the game showed up, it won't run (problem loading the game).
suggestions? Its a US console - that I bought at launch (USA) and I might have to get it looked at by a non-sony technician. I think the bluray laser is ****ed. |

Someone on gaf linked to the above. Anyone know where i can get one in australia? I'm gonna try JB+DSE tomorrow first thing. :/ Suggestions if you'd had similar experience would be good.
so... today/yesterday, I was watching a bluray and it froze, then I watched another, and that froze... and now I just put in a game and it did the same problem:
a) if disc shows up, game/bluray won't boot
b) disc also sometimes won't show up

Sorry to hear.
Don't bother trying to clean the BD lens. It is simply failing 
Mine is doing the same thing. Tekken was playing at like 10 frames a second the other day and MW2 took 5 minutes to boot to the main menu. Although it has been perfect today. Not one problem.
I suggest doing what I'm doing and buying a slim. I just put a PlayTV 250GB bundle with 2 games on layby at EB for $599 all up.

I'm gonna try the cleaning thing. I left it alone a bit and its back to life again. Might just be a dust + lense issue. I just moved and the new place, well, seems to be dustier 
Its $30ish for the lense cleaner vs $500+ for the ps3.
* also gonna vaccum the mofo.
* also there's a bigw bravia (32" inch tv)+ps3 for $1200. Its not a bad deal. I might get that and the bravia goes into my room

Well it all started when I watched die hard 4 bluray but before that absolutely no problems. The console is a USA launch bc enabled ps3 and well I don't think I can go to Sony with an American console
hopefully the cleaner disc which I will find today somewhere will fix it. Thanks for the quantronics link I'll try there for both the cleaner and repairs should I need it done

I don't think I'd care tbh. I'd just buy a slim. Sure I think the launch model is the nicest looking of all the models released, but the PS2 playback just is not as important as I once thought. I mean, I have a PS2... upscaling doesn't make it look much/any better... the aspect ratio is a bit off, many games dont work or have bugs.................so who cares?

Keeping ps3 vertical can cause drive problems. All the people who had drive problem that i know off kept ps3 vertical position. Always play games n remove disc in horizontal. Vertical is no no for PS3

my PS3 was horizontal. But I've had it almost 4 years (since USA launch) so well, its served me well 
I got a slim now.
