Just tried on System Update...you can't reinstall the firmware, you have to wait for the next 2.40 firmware update..

What happen to it? It was a 80GB HK with a dead lens . After replacing the lens, only the BD movies can't be detected but a Digital Video Essential BD (it's a calibration BD) was detected and can be played. All BD games, DVD game NTSC/J (GOW 2) and even a AVCHD DVD+R disc are fine. It was the first case I encountered (I've repaired a few PS3 with dead lenses). The owner later sold it (quite cheap) and bought a new white 40GB SG PS3 as he don't play games on PS3 but only watch BD movies.

So basically this issue I encountered is so rare that only Sony could fix it?

Need to check with a fellow forumer regarding that. I tried googling and hardly find any PS3 owners who encountered this problem. I am just damn fcuking "lucky"...

Lol yea man..
I tried everything, using HDMI, trying friend's Blu-ray movie, reset to factory setting, FULL PS3 FORMAT(!!), changing the BD/DVD video output, even the sound output! And nothing seems to help...
Left two things to check. Firmware and lens =/

You have also future proofed yourself and hence, are insured against the inevitable hardware upgrades(PC) and 3RODs(xbox360).

just play, you dont play, you will never know what would happen to it. im sure the shop you bought from give like 1 week warranty or something. Play to the fullest and exchange it if you encountered any problem
