Hey folks

I have a uk launch 60gb ps3. However while playing games its starting to black screen at loading screens resulting in me having to reset it. Often once it reboots the disc will not show in the xmb and I have to reset to factory settings or leave the ps3 off for a couple of hours. I've opened it up and cleaned the dust out etc but its still happening.

Im guessing I probably need to replace the blueray drive?

Cheers
 
No replies yet? Well, I'll do my best to help you friend. Sounds to me like the lazer on the Blu Ray drive is on the way out. I would replace the lazer rather than the drive if its still spinning discs ok as I'm not sure if you would have to flash the firmware on a new Blu Ray drive like you do with the Xbox's Dvd drive.


Good luck buddy.
