Have to use forced eject in order to eject any media!

Hello everyone,

About a month ago i was playing with my ps3, at some point i stopped for a break and after ~30 mins of the ps3 being turned off i wanted to play again. This time another game. I pressed the eject button Twice! but no media came out, i assumed i ejected it earlier and i just couldnt recall it, so i went on to put another game. I did and the media was stuck 3/4 in the drive. I tried to eject it and it was stuck ( know so cause i pulled gently ). I check again and i see that the previous game is still inside the ps3( checked its case ). I repeatedly pressed the eject button and pulled gently again a couple of times, after 5-6 tries it came out but the previous game was still inside.

I pressed eject but nothing happened ( note : game inside wasnt available for play through ps3 menu )

i forced ejected with the ps3 on 4 times but still nothing.

I turned off my ps3 and tried the last ejecting method. Turned off the power button, tapped and holded eject and turned the power button on. on the 3rd try i heard the eject noise and the media came out.

Now the problem is that i put a media in, its being read and i can play it normaly with NO problems at all. When it comes to eject it though the normal eject have worked 4 times!.

Most of the time when i press eject i hear the eject noise but the media never comes out ( the media is on its way out because its not visible anymore for play in ps3 menu ). In order to get it out i use force eject ( 10 sec hold of eject button ) and it comes out normaly.

I contacted the service about it and due to the fact that it is out of warranty there is a standar price of 150euro.

I was told that i should keep it but it will most likely break down sooner or later.

I am sure that my ps3 gona have a long life and the main problem is that something got stuck inside the drive that denies the exit of the media most of the time.

I have also asked numerous forums but i either didnt got an answer or no one could help. This is an 80 GB, 2 USB model.

Any ideas about what exactly is the problem, if its gona break down, a way to repair it, would be more than welcomed :)

with me having the same problem I had to take the darn thing apart in order to take the game out...I would have to restart the system in order for it to pick the media back up...It's not difficult taking the thing apart you need a torque screw and a phillips you will also need a small phillips as well..If I put some force or tap the center of the disk where the magnet is to have it eject sometimes it doesn't work all the time so I have to find some other way.

The issue that you may have is that in these units the eject mechanism does seem to go bad so you may have to replace the mechanism. there may also be a chance that the mechanism has become misaligned, which would be the nicer option, easier and cheaper to fix here are a few videos on youtube that may help you to further investigate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8_0l0t_a... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEN1kk31-...

I am hoping for the misaligned part then, it really doesnt do anything else wrong plus sometimes as i said it works as intended! Checked the videos but i guess i have to open my ps3 and check it carefully.

Will report back any results !

That sounds right and let us know what you find.

This has happened to me several times. The best way to fix it is to open the device and reset the mechanism manually. Since you are out of warranty, you don't really have anything to worry about. What you ought to do is follow this guide up to step 13, to get the plastic top off of the blu-ray drive. Once inside, you will want to reset the intake mechanism by either manually spinning the gears or plugging in the PS3 and pressing the eject button. For further reference, read over this post, it should help you out.

Good luck, and let us know how it works out.
