They said when ur PS3 is hanging,
nvr turn off the console and dun even take the disc out, the best way is to long press the I/O button for 3 to 5 seconds, wait for ur PS3 to reboot, if u take out the disc while hanging, ur BD Drive will be lock and ur PS3 cant read any disc after that. |

QUOTE(TheUndead @ Jul 14 2008, 10:45 AM) hey, I DO read these kinda things I am confident Sony has a tool to downgrade the FW  anyway, thanks for the update. funny, i always request them to send me email but they never do. only to non-singaporeans/malaysians i think  about that FW downgrade, i dont know how they did it because you can never downgrade. only upgrade. but nothing to worry, the important thing is, you have a fully working ps3 once more. plus, you can always do it by yourself. i.e upgrade to FW2.41   But, if its problem was the lens, why did they downgraded the firmware ... |

I think Sony somehow secretly applied some sorta protection to the drive. I still remember the old PS2's swap disc trick. Just my guessing o.o

Okay how come according to the guide in this forum, it says if somehow the PS3 hang when playing BD game, just eject the disc before rebooting to preven the lens from hurting more ? Which is more accurate ?

Nope... it just that when i got back from work last nite, boot up the ps3, and there's no BD icon in game list (i left GTA4 in it).. eject it and put back in, only the loding icon showing and no loads up disk. Try switching the games also no luck. Cold boot ps3, no luck. Tried DVD movies (ori) also cannot..i. did your game/movie froze? ii. what game/movie was it? iii. what did you do after it froze? (i.e turned it off from the flip switch at the back/eject the disc) guess i need to send it back to the shop.. I bought it at maxdream summit.. hopes they provide warranty. |

The conclusion is do not leave a BD inside PS3 when you plan to turn the unit off

a lot of similar case.
personally I dont think there is anything wrong with your bd drive, in a theory, i think its 'locked'. If you send back to sony, they simply 'unlock' it back. Thats why a forummer here even had his ps3's firmware downgraded. thats a theory lah. why lock? now thats the question. |

After dig out some info at internet found some folks who play AC at official playstation board also got the same problem..maybe it just a glitch? and yeah try all games i bought my ps3 works just fine btw eone, how did u manage to see the bd's position? |
