CarbonCore Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Just wait for 2.02 and see if it is rectified. Afaik, the drive lens doesn't die all of a sudden. You always get some warnings like disk read errors or scratching sounds etc. It could be a firmware glitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightySkate Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 @Reaper good news for you. Playstation 3 Turns Into Useless Brick After Firmware Update 2.01 Starting last week, PS3 owners started reporting that their next gen console would not read their Blu-Ray discs. Some users reported that their PS3 would not even read DVDs. All reports started to come in after gamers made the upgrade to 2.01. “I inserted Blu Ray Disc into PS3 for first time and movie appeared under video tab. It started to play and i started skipping previews and then all of a sudden screen went blank. I went back to PS3 home screen and tried ejected and inserting Blu Ray movie back into PS3 and the icon fails to appear under the video tab. I then tried DVD and that did not appear either. PS3 Games still work. Please help!” Today when I myself tried to update my PS3 to 2.01, I was left with a half bricked PS3. What I mean by this is that I can longer use any media that resembles a severely flattened donut on my PS3. This includes cds, dvds, games, and blu-ray disks. Some of you may be familiar with the message of “Disc Unreadable/ Unrecognized”, however this does not even show up when a disc is inserted. Tomorrow I am heading over to Best Buy to swap it out, and I advise you (if you have the warranty) to do the same if you are unable to resolve the problem any other way. Here is a video of the problem: Source: http://www.ripten.com/2007/11/30/ps3-turns...are-update-201/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinitwins Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 ^ can this be resolved with a future firmware upgrade? and why are only a few ps3s exhibiting the 2.01 UoD© (upgrade of death)? V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightySkate Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 ^^It might take a few weeks for another update to show up. I have the PAL version and it's working fine. It seems very few of the US/Jap versions are getting affected by this (i may be wrong though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosh!!! where do ya get all these stuff? read my replies in context to the thread and swallow your 'goshes' before typing them out - considering that 2.01 'can' brick your system (partially) - i just wanted a clarification if we can play online without updating to the latest firmware...
