PS3 "No Game Data" Message

[TOUS]

Hey!

I have a PS3 original.

When I put a game in, nothing happens. Auto disc start is enabled.

When I click on "Game" a message is displayed which reads: "No Game Data".

I've had a look around and been told it's very likely that the laser has gone, so, I've ordered and fit a new laser (Kem 410 aca - correct model for my console) and... 'newts changed. The message still shows...

I've done all the resets etc.

Do you think it might be a faulty laser?

Thanks, Tous

... I wouldn't mind..., but In anticipation of "The Repair" I'd bought a few games and a 'flippin monitor...

Hi Dutch Guy

Thanks for replying.

I've sorted it. I don't think it was the laser after all. (still not sure though).

I took the section off that accepts the disc (gear bit), pratled around with it a bit -partially put it back together.

Then I plugged it in (left the tops off) kept gently putting the game in and out and noticed it didn't seem to go in properly, I fiddled about with it and it just started working.

So I think the problem was probably more to do with the part that accepts the discs.

I'm so chuffed it's sorted. and feeling quite pleased with myself I have to say!
