Hi Guys,
I got a PS3 (40GB) for a few quid off my m8, it wasn't reading any disks whatsoever other than DVD. I stripped it down to MB level and cleaned it all out including the laser which had dirt on it.
I put the thing back together and hey presto, the drive accepts PS3 Blu-ray Games and also Audio CD's again.
I then tried putting in a Blu-Ray movie and the disc icon just keeps on a spinning, it doesn't show up in the XMB under video. I have tried the System restore etc, doesn't matter what I do, it will not read the blu-ray. I will try another blu-ray only got one lol. (Days of Glory).
The other thing is the fan. It will come on at any time it likes and make lots of noise for ages. The machine itself doesn't seem to be getting that hot. My 80GB has been running in the front room for a few days without a peep!
Anyone any ideas on this or is the 40GB a known noisy sod!
