Before you send to repair or DIY...

Try to Format Your Ps3 first...
Then see how

buy lens from e-bay
sent to bernard ask him change for you

Shit PS3, my disc cant boot.

This occurs after updating to ver 2.01.

any solution?

Hmm did you play pirate DVD games,movies there before the update?

Now i really scare to updated..

very scary cos we hear more & more local cases of ps3 lense problem. is the lense really that sensitive/fragile?

i updated the firmware to 2.01 and it is still fine.... dont think its the firmware...

if im not mistaken...if u never let ur ps3 EAT any illegal media (CD o DVD) i belive there's no point to be afraid to upgrade...

unless u ever put those media or u juz forgot that u once play those media...

for those who encounter the prob...u can change the lens or at least TRY to change it....coz there's no guarantee that ur ps3 BDROM will revive...like mine...curse to be useless.....

erm...can i take back my previous statement...my boss just told me he cannot read any disc...he is in japan with his japanese ps3...all ori... cannot read after install 2.01...

thats surprising!!!!if the illegal media not the culprit..it might be the firmware it self...

i do suspect that the firmware had to do with this nightmare...if there's a downgrader....

Maybe there's some sort of bug or did you do anything wrong or following steps in a corrupted order?
Or maybe it's your hardware problem also. Who's the culprit? Well, you better send it to any repair shop and ask them what's wrong with it. That would solve the case!

but "luckily" since he is in japan n he bought tat ps3 in japan, he will try n claim the warranty.....

weird....
my updated by i haven try playing games yet

I updagrade to 2.01 and my Ps3 still works. BD games at least.

sory bloodvinille...even those so called technician didnt even familiar wif this mechanism in the ps3...

hell...i myself help them figure out those problem b4 the defected BDROM working well...those technician need to be careful wif everything they doin so that theres no chances there that the ps3 would severely defected wif their action...as for me...helll...this my ps3 BDROm...i can tear it apart as much i like

peace xD ...u can have a sight wif my defective ps3 when u come to my house tonite... xD

hey guyz/pro over here
may i know what's the causes that make PS3 canot read any format anymore?
That day that guyz sell PS3 told me one of his customer read few dvd disc later on that lens kong is it true that will happen to our PS3 lens also?
just curious and want to prevent disaster happen

Don't use your PS3 to watch DVD movies. Well you can play Blu-Ray movies but personally I make sure only PS3 games enter my PS3's disc drive.

the lense tat sensitive mer?! sigh.. but i think sony isnt tat stupid to allow us to play dvd and all if the lense is soooo sensitive..

it all comes down to luck..there have been reports of gamers saying they onli use it for games n the lens fail them as well...

I'm using my PS3 machine for pirate DVD everytimes...well up to diz point there're no show of problems yet...but if it do, I'll inform you all...
