PS3 Hardware malfunction (Disc Drive)

Post by pspgabe550 »

My ps3 fat first gen will not accept discs, there is a little white bar in the middle of the disc tray. Can I reset that?

Hold down the eject button while the PS3 is on and keep holding it down for at least 15 seconds. That forces the drive to reset itself and recalibrate. Keep holding down the eject button even if you hear 3 beeps.

have you had the drive apart recently?
there is a peg in the top of the drive shell that you have to line up just right to git it in its place so the drive will work properly
i see it from time to time when people force a disk in or out of the drive too, but mostly when people take it apart to git disks out of rlod systems
and eating thrifty maid noodles because of it......seriously!?! off brand noodles.....ouch i got burned by tech support.....ouch........
