Wow..i went to playstation.com forum..hell, there was so many cases reported on this, all happen during 2.17 to 2.2 updates..

A brief of what happen to mine,

Was playing COD4, then i experience lost of sound during in game ground war battle..the sound crackle, then fade..then total silence but still able to play games..when i search the forum, theres one user with exact same problem...

I thought it must be some software glitch..so continue, then join new game...when the game begin..i got stuck at waiting for players with clock ticking...then it freeze. Press the PS button and quit..it blanks and stays blank...reset and all hell broke loose...BD cant detect and all shit.

Off for an hour..can detect BD again...then it froze during movie..with disc error..off for hour and you can detect the BD back...it keeps on repeating

Last i detect BD was around 12 pm where i play dave mattews...it play until the opening song then zzzzzz...freeze P(*&^%($(^&#($$^&$(^&$(^&$...somehow i think its not a BD lense problem..must be something running in background that does all this. If its lense, then it should have died straight away. Agree ?? Mine different..it come back on after i shut down but only for a while..

EDITED

Its 6 am in the morning and i'm still scratching my head..why ? I was thinking there must be something conflicting, i did everything i can to observed the trend on the lights..blue..wifi...then something trigger me, the wifi was blinking heavily when i inserted any disc...wtf, i confirm this again with another BD, yup, its blinking heavily again...then i remember that update 2.2 was supposed to be Blue Ray profile 2.0 which supposed to enable BD internet JAVA thingie, so i went to BD/DVD setting and disable

1. Disc auto start - OFF
2. BD internet connect - Confirm

The latter to ensure that when you poped in the BD, it will ask whether or not to connect to the internet, i select NO...and guess what
I GOT BACK MY BD !!!! CONFIRM CAN PLAY COD4 & ALL MY BD

                             

Now someone really need to take this and s*ove it up SONY A**...go run some test and proof it...if there any network logger, i would have log what ps3 trying to send when we inserted the BD...i'm ASSUMING it must be related to copyright issue/DRM...go on and spread the word on the fix...i'm tired and need to sleep...we'll see tommorow if this fix can hold...finally can listen to my dave mathews (the whole bd without freeze)

PS1 lah, i m still remember everytime it cant read disc, if i rotate to vertical it will read the disc back, 

to my understanding...so far only Bernard can repair YLOD with higher success rate (that's why he will tell you need 1 month to repair)...even some game shops also advise you to go to Bernard's shop if you encountered YLOD

my PS3 is 1st generation (60GB with 4 USB-ports and memory card readers)...heavily used for games and blu-ray movies for almost 2 years...no single problem until today...am noticed PS3 3rd generation the motherboard is smaller and lens is different than 1st generation

actually hardware failure is very much depending on (1.) your luck ie. am saw some new machines open from the box, switch it on...after a while it crashed (2.) the way you use the machine ie. put on the floor, accumulating dust on fan panel, turn on for very very long hour, etc

this is how i take care my PS3 (a.) put on vertical position on the table, place it about 1 feet away from the wall, use Microfiber Cleaning Cloth to wipe the casing every week, use 2000W Vacuum Cleaner to suck dust from Ventilation Panel every week

recently am upgraded my PS3 to 500GB at Bernard's shop...throw 60GB to dustbin...hopefully no problem with new HDD

Vote your selection in the above poll for future reference.
