PS3 problem

Archive: 15 posts


Okies, so... My Playstation is acting screwy. Whenever I put it in a disc it scratches it. So - has anyone had this problem, and if so, how do you solve it? Thanks

Yes, I have phoned Sony... They said it's "impossible" that the PS3 could scratch a disc. Most likely they're only saying that because they would have to reimberse us for our discs and replace the console. They did go on to say that they'll have a look at it on Monday, but yeah...

Did you ever moved your PS3 from horizontal to vertical (and vice versa) while it was on?
Might be the problem.

Vertical is like the worst way of placing it, gives the most scratched issues.2008-12-16 13:49:00

So, you DO keep it horizontal, and saying vertical was a typo... right? RIGHT?!2008-12-16 14:10:00

You should check your blu-ray driver, there might be a small piece of something in there, which causes the scratch.
Normally local gamestores can check for you.

Dunno, worked for me BUT USE AT OWN RISK.
Get something tall that fits in the blu-ray player, and a flashlight.
Open up that black thing (that prevents dust from getting in there) with the tall thing and look in with your flashlight.
If you see something, try to get it out with CAUTION.
You will need a steady hand, otherwise your just screwed.
again, use at your own risk.

risk..risk...risk...

Or you can spam sony's help thing mailbox with hatemail!

Ah, then there shouldn't be a bad thing about asking a replacement.
