My system has suddenly stopped loading disc suddenly!! One minute I'm playing Uncharted 2 2hrs later the system won't even read any of my disc. I tried different games and dvds (don't have blu rays) and I tried the system restore option, still nothing. Is there anything else I could try before sending it in?

have you tried cleaning the lens in the system with a lens cleaner? this is usually the best place to start in trying to figure out why it won't read the disc. i highly recommend using the Maxell Bluray Lens Cleaner though because it is the only one i know of that doesn't touch the lens, which is important with a bluray lens. also, can you hear if the system tries to spin the disc over or not?

well if cleaning the lens doesn't fix the problem, chances are the bluray drive needs to be repaired. now if you are inclined in taking electronics apart, the obviously cheaper method out of warranty would be to replace the broken part(s) yourself

well using that maxell drive cleaner how would it even work if the ps3 won't read the disk. Would it work just because it will spin the disk. Oh and the blue ray drive was incredibly loose in the ps3 weird...
