Pyrosocial Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 So, I was playing fallout 3, and had just left a metro station heading to rivet city and the sceen goes black and freezes. So I do a forced reset and it won't load the game. I eject it and try little big planet 2, and that doesn't load either. Same for rock band 2, so I know its not the disk. It doesn't get played very often and I only had it turned on for like 30 minutes and it hasent been on since Thursday. I read on the. Psforums that it seems to be a common problem, but there was no real solution. Anyone know how I can fix this WITHOUT formatinng the thing?

Illiad86 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 There's a good chance that the motor in the BD-ROM is dead :( I haven't owned a console since the PS2 though, but it did that to me. I was playing Devil May Cry, I think, game froze up so I shut it off. It wouldn't read the disk. Tried other games and nothing. My warranty was already up, so I tore the thing apart and cleaned the lens, still nothing. Kept it disassembled and loaded a disk, it wouldn't spin it :( Also happened on my uncle's Xbox 360 1 day after his warranty expired, I kid you not. Thankfully Microsoft was nice about it. If your warranty is past, I'd take the thing apart and clean the lens with 91%+ Isopropyl alcohol. Discs won't read if the lens is dirty...and if you live in a house with animals or with people that smoke, there's a good chance it's pretty icky. If you still have your warranty, send it to Sony to fix it. Ah, but you can format the things now huh? They've come quite a long way. But, the way you are describing it...it doesn't sound like a format will fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrosocial Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Formatting was a solution that was on the PS forums...assuming that the lazer reader was just malfunctioning... Only had it for about 1 year 3 months, so it should still have the warrenty hopfully. If not ill try that as a last resort... I really hope its not the bluray drive. They said that was a common problem and if not under warrenty it could run e99 =( Consols are all I use except for playing starcraft -.- Thanks illiad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
