Flash Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 New PS3 owner here :) I put the dvd in, nothing happens. I check videos, nothing. How do I get it to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hmm, that's weird. Stupid question but it's the right region correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 Yes it is. The disc is not detected at all. I think the lens may be dead so I'll go exchange for a new PS3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldgunner Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 sounds like a fubared drive, even discs from a different region are detected, but come up with a region error when you try to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazzyyfool Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Well does it play BD or game discs? If it does, your drive ain't buggered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 I can play games. I haven't tried watching a blu-ray movie however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Yea if you can exchange it I definitely would. When my drive broke three months ago it wouldn't read anything at all, its interesting that yours will read games but not DVDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 Is the lens failure rate high? I worry in the future it will not read again. Mine has been about 20 days old only Going to exchange now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowRanger13 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 At one point the PS3 fail rate was 1.54% thats the highest I have ever heard it was. Now they say it's less then 1% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 Got my exchange, new PS3! DVD movie playback works fine with firmware 1.92 so I hope 2.20 won't screw it up. Would it be safe to assume the new stand alone system without the spider-man 2 blu-ray is a newer batch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
