PS3 bluray drive issues. help a breh out.

[Camammal]

Ever since i bought GTA my shyt has been put through its paces. I got that 160gb slim when it launched and now its making this weird noises when its loading the game. Like the sound when you insert a disk but it just keep doing it for a few seconds. Sounds like it could be the lens but idk. And i've noticed it loading the games a little slower, but thankfully its still reading.

Please don't tell me my shyt bout to crap out on me. i keep having to do the xmb reset method to fix it temporarily. Anybody knows of any solutions?



GTA online around the corner....

I hope you bought an extended warranty.

get in there and clean the lens if you can. you'll have to open the box and the cd drive though. then clean it with a q-tip and some alcohol

I was afraid of that, not sure if i have the tools but i guess its worth a shot. Opening these consoles is like open heart surgery, guess i have no choice.

I've heard people saying it can damage the system but there is no confirmation either way. I've had to do it I think twice. One because a disc was stuck and another recently when it was skipping on some blurays and giving me a black screen at startup. Mine is a phat and going good but proceed with caution. No guarantees.

sounds kinda risky but i guess at the point i need to do something before it dies on me.

Doing it once should be good. Just only use it when it's actually necessary. Like right now it's possible it'll help.

It's easy to clean the lens but it's going to die on you again. You can order a drive online and swap it outside yourself
