  • Fix for spinning problem.
    Just try this before you pay much money for repair! :)
    Please read:
    This is only temporary 'repair' you need to do this maybe everytime after switching disc.

    Mine doesn't even want to spin. I tried to spin it by myself. That made it spin itself, but now every time I try do to this, it doesn't work. Also even if the disc was spinning it couldn't be recognized due to laser doesn't even want to light -.-.. It's so dumb, it tries to load, but it's too lazy to load.

    For me it was Dark souls 2 I was playing when there was a red phantom that was completely invisible, I used the bonfire to go back to majula and when it was loading the game froze, so I restarted the ps3 then no games would play, except ones I have fully downloaded onto the system itself. I tried this, the tilting method and the shaking method, and nothing has worked for me.

    This is actually a fix....Right when you hear the bumping sound (which is like 5 seconds after you insert the game....Take off the circle thing and put it back on after a second

    Yea it gets the disc spinning and even reads the title page of the game but nothing further. Also when you switch games it will do the same thing again.
    I tryed two different drives and two different lasers on both drives and mine continues to do the same thing as in the video.

    I'm having a similar problem but I've never played GTAV. I was playing Mass Effect 3the other night and next day when I turned on my console and inserted the game disc the PS3 made that exact same sound I ejected it and put another one in, didn't make the sound again but it won't spin and would not read any discs anymore. Anyone knows how to fix it?

  • @irlloydchristmas
    @irlloydchristmas Před 11 lety +3

    Mine has this same issue, but it does eventually read the disc. Can just take 2-5 min. And once it does read a disc. If i take it out after playting and do another, it reads it right away. Thinking I may get the lens cleaner as that could be a cause too. Thoughts? I am not too great w electronics so I don't want to take it apart myself..

  • @bodybag5969
    @bodybag5969 Před 8 lety +3

    this method does work maybe not for everyone but Patience. If this didn't work try holding eject button on PS3 until blue light starts blinking wait for it to stop,then try a game. Still not working try cleaning laser off n dust in ps3 drive. When putting a CD in tilt ps3 back method known to work sometimes

  • @DontWakeMeUp.
    @DontWakeMeUp. Před 8 lety +1

    I have currently this issue on my Ps3 Slim model cech-2001A. I have ordered a new laser to replace and hopefully fix my issue. My ps3 only reads CD and DVD based format disc. So the problem was the blueray laser. The spinning problem is just that, it's trying to read the disc but the laser design to read that specific disc, it will try to read it as a DVD or cd, hence why it spins for a bit. I will update you all as soon as I get the part and replace it.

      @DontWakeMeUp. Před 7 lety +2

      UPDATE: I know this is late but i had forgotten that I posted on this video, yes it was a dead laser and you will have to replace it. Just be careful when you replace the laser and not fuck up the assembly of the blueray drive. If requested I could make a video on how to properly replace a laser on ps3.

I literally took apart my ps3 when I finally found the tool to get those stupid little black screws under the front of the ps3 out and I tried cleaning the laser and some other fixes and all I really needed to do was move that little piece around until it sat just right. Wow. now I have to wait a few weeks just to get the tool I am missing back.

    • @codebebop
      @codebebop Před 8 lety

      that sounds just like my problem. game starts playing, then it starts making a noise like its having trouble moving back and forth to read the disc. so the game will freeze when it changes to next stage, or if online playing bf4, the guns and gone and all other players are invisible except their names.
      so I took it apart , propped up the tray, and ran my games. no problems but it doesn't solve why it happens when I put it all back together :-(

    @PowerUpGamingCanada Před 7 lety +1

    "This is only temporary 'repair' you need to do this maybe everytime after switching disc."
    That isn't so easy then. First you have to be using a PS3 system with no case. Second you have to do that EVERYTIME you change a disc. Just spend the $50 - $100 and get someone to replace the laser. It is so much less painful then this.
