You checked this with other games? Did you check the back of the disc to see if it was clean? Smudges or scratched sometimes lead to the disc not being read. Well, your system sounds broken. If it's an older system then you may just want to replace it with a slim model. It's easier tan calling Sony technical support IMO.

So yeah, my advice is to save all the data you can from your current system, buy a new one, then transfer it over.

Does the rest of the system work?  Like can you play games that are on your hard drive?  My PS3 was having trouble reading disks.  It would show that they were in there but I couldn't use them.  It could read them for a little bit but then they would freeze.  I just replaced the blu ray drive and all was better.  I'm not sure if your's not reading the disk at all is the sign of a bigger problem that can't be fixed with this.  Does anybody know if that is his only problem?

I think this happened to me before.  As a last resort before i sent it in, i backed up a lot of files and ran a system restore.  it worked.  been working for a year now with no problems.  i reccomend you try it, tell me if it works.

As for the OP, your Blu-ray laser has died or is dying. You will have to get it fixed, which you can do yourself or have someone else do it for you. If you do it yourself, here is a guide :smileywink:
