I've explained this before in another thread. It's either your BR lens is faulty or it's a software issue (i.e corrupt). I've got the same issue with my PS3 for over 6 months maybe even a year, it's still going strong. I'll just quote myself. cao: The last time I had this issue, I used my BR lens cleaner three times in a row before it started working again. |

cao:how much is a br lens cleaner cuz i don't have one, I've tried all the options on safe mode, it didn't work |

Sammyblake:I've no idea on Naija prices, I got mine from eBay, I think I spent £7, although I've now seen the same thing for £2.99 - Maxell Pro Blu-Ray Cleaner. It was the one I kept seeing while I was searching for solutions at the time. The thing is when this usually happens to me, it can either be sorted in 5 minutes or 2 hours...I can be one patient individual... |

cao:ok apart from the br lens cleaner, what others option do i have, i need this game working as soon as possible, it's hard to survive without playing games |

Sammyblake: I mentioned another option earlier - play a downloaded game/demo and insert BR (you don't necessarily have to be in-game, the front end menu would do), then press the PS button...the disc icon should hopefully pop up. The thing is if it's a software issue, you could still have the problem after you've replaced the hardware. You could still keep trying the Restore File System option and this option, unless if it has given you the official error message, then just move onto a new BR lens. In my case, I've taken to not switching off my PS3. Whenever I do switch it off, I make sure there's no disc in it, since whenever I turn it on with a disc left inside it makes the annoying ejecting noise, then I've to sort the whole thing out again. This wahala started one glorious day when they were sorting out the fusebox/electrics in my house, they kept randomly switching it on and off without telling me, apparently the PS3 didn't like it. |
