hey ps3 sifus here! in need of help.

lately my ps3 slim has been giving me some problem. first, it gives me that 'disc eject' noise when i insert a disc in. and it does not read the disc. after rebooting the device, it reads the disc, but during the middle of the game, it hangs, or shows lack of information in game.

is there something wrong with the bluray reader? approx how much wud it cost to replace a new one?

i dont have any games on my hdd. cannot test whether it works off the hdd instead of a bluray. shud i get a bluray disc cleaner and see whether the problem wud b fixed with that?

oh okay. glad i haven invest in the bluray cleaner.
thought of opening up my console considering how its out of warranty anyways. let me try that later tonight.

in relation to the problem i mentioned in the previous page, i tried opening up my console and cleaning the lens manually. the problem still there.

i try downloading some demo from the playstation store, and the console works perfectly.

i think the problem really is the lens or the whole bluray player itself.
any idea how much is it to get the whole player replaced?

thinking to compare the price of replacing the reader with getting a second hand console, or wait a few more months for ps4 (skeptical)

wait bro, im having difficulties understanding this. you mean the problem with my console is just the blurry lens reader, and not the whole bluray drive?

hahha right. thanks thou.
do you have any idea how much wud replacing the lens only cost?

aight cool. thanks.
