PS3 Failure

[Lord Nemesis]

My PS3 Blue-Ray drive died today.

It was working flawlessly yesterday (was playing Heavenly Sword) and today it made a weird clicking noise when I popped in the disk and did not recognize the disk. I ejected it and put it back in, this time I could not even hear it spinning, tried other discs but no go, tried rebooting the PS3, but no result.

Seems this is a well known problem on the Internet as several people reported a similar problem. But it seems the rate of this sort of failure is very less.

Anyways, I will have to take it to the local service center and wait for at least 2 weeks. :no:

Too bad, this is the first case from the people i know own a ps3. Didn't try to push the disk in hard did you?

 

[Lord Nemesis]

Nah, As I see it there is no need to push the disc in, you just have to put it into the slot and after a point it just sucks in the disc.

 

[Params7]

Yeah, that's why I asked if you pushed it or not That might've triggered the dysfunction.

@nemesis.....i had the same problem you did back in november.....got it fixed myself though....you can check out my progress at this link to understand if you're facing the same issue.

all the info you need on the spare part is also included in the above thread at 360indians.com

 

[Lord Nemesis]

yeah, Already seen that thread earlier. Anyways since my PS3 has warranty, I would just take it to the service center and get it repaired or replaced.
