DX HELP ME! (15)

1 Name: Takumi : 2012-08-13 12:06 ID:KFsFXZCq [Del]

My PS3 won't accept my discs and it makes this ejecting noise but the disc doesn't come out DX I don't know what to do!

2 Name: Black!BLACKFJv1Q : 2012-08-13 13:37 ID:i+H40VV0 [Del]

Does it still turn on?

3 Name: Takumi : 2012-08-13 13:46 ID:KFsFXZCq [Del]

Don't reject advice before someone gives it, kid.

The best idea would be to take it to where you got it from (if it's still under warranty), but if not go to gamestop or some place and they might be able to fix it.

If you want to do it the "do it yourself" way (which holds more risk):

To get the disk out:
Get a paperclip. Bend it flat. Bend the top just barely. Then, put the clip in the disc area sideways, curving it about halfway. Keep going until you get the hook around the middle ring. Pull it out carefully.

no I mean it doesn't read then you hear an ejecting sound, the disc still comes out if you press eject.

"The disc still comes out when you press eject"
>>1
"the disc doesn't come out"

You're confusing me.
If it's not reading the disc, then your consoles broken. Nothing to do about that other than save up and get a new one. Sorry, man.

>>6 "it makes an ejecting noise but it doesn't come out" and ok thanks anyway

Time to buy a much more reliable XBOX 360.

"Reliable"
Oh now that's a good one. I own an xbox, and will be lucky if it lasts another couple months.

>>9 An Xbox360 can be very reliable if properly maintained and handled. I have a Pre-recall Xbox360 and it hasn't red-ringed or Been too bad to me, although I would like a new one. >>1 Perhaps disassemble it and clean the lens with a soft, clean cloth made of cotton. Also clean out all dust from the inside. If that doesn't work or you don't trust yourself enough to do it just take it to a shop and get it fixed or buy a new one.

>>10 dont guys this rarely happens to me. just get another ps3 thats all. but for me i dont have to. mine still works.

12 Name: Takumi : 2012-08-19 14:36 ID:eAnnpsFY [Del]

Its broken I'll just give up thanks for the advise though...

13 Name: King Dude !zXqFpoplY6 : 2012-08-19 15:14 ID:jJu+SadJ [Del]

Just clean the lens with a lens cleaning CD. I got one for my 360 for $5 at Best Buy a few years ago.

You also want to make sure the games aren't scratched/dirty.

You do know how retarded that sounds?
Not everyone can just up and get another PS3 just because theirs is messing up a little bit, that could easily be fixed by, I don't know, opening it the fuck up.

But what you probably did was, every time you opened it up, you didn't push the button to close it back, but instead you forced it back closed with your hand. Your motor for what opens and closes it probably short-circuited (burned up) on you, and thus you can easily get the motor replaced.
