Why is the optical drive not recognizing game or DVD Movie?

The sony playstation 3 is on and I am able to change all settings, view pictures and listen to previous downloaded music. What it is not doing is recognizing that I have slide in either a game or dvd movie. The loading icon in the top right hand corner appears and shows a clock wise rotation.

That points to a faulty optical disk reader which currently ifixit does not have the parts and step-by-step solution posted.

iFixit actually does have the step-by-step procedure in order to do all the things necessary to replace a broken blu-ray drive. A simple browse on the different sections of this website will show you everything you need to know. I have been repairing electronics since I was in my early teens (I am now 23), and I don't believe I have found a simpler and easier and better or more precise of a website than this.

As for the parts necessary, you will have to buy them elsewhere - eBay should have all the parts you need, but be aware that certain users have found that the knock-off made-in-China lasers have had a high fault-rate. There are plenty of other websites that have what you are looking for...a simple Google search (or even a simpler thing of looking through the question sections of this website for the PS3) would have shown you everything you needed to know, and you would have seen that this question has been asked and answered at least 10 times on this website alone.

Also something that has been said maybe 20 times just on this website alone: if you opt to replace the complete blu-ray disc drive of your PS3, know that you will have to use the same control board that is screwed onto the bottom of your original blue-ray disc drive (the green board that has all the ribbon cables going into it). It is said that the control board and the motherboard are "married", so you will need to keep the original one.

If through your searches and diagnosis you see that just your blue-ray laser is faulty, then you can replace just that piece. There is a guide for that on here as well. There is also a guide in the form of a flow chart that will help you in diagnosing what exactly is wrong with your PS3 disk-reading problem.

Go through the sections of this website and you will find the links for everything that you are looking and much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much more.

To everybody else: stop asking the same questions a million times thinking that god is going to somehow come down to Earth and give you a new and customized answer that is going to change the rules of the game and allow for you to have magical powers.....doing this makes things harder for everybody else when they are searching for things and a simple thing turns into hours of looking through repeated questions/topics to find what they are looking for.

To iFixit: why is there not a way to flag repeated questions/topics and/or a way for you to delete repeated questions/topics? Just in the PS3 questions section alone, all the actual topics could be narrowed down to a page to two pages at most, but instead we have ten pages of repeated questions that we have to go through in order to maybe find the thing we're looking for. I think a way of preventing this in the future is to make the registration procedure a bit more longer/complicated so that people don't register in 20 seconds just to ask one question that has been repeated numerous times and then never come back to this website ever again. Just my two cents.
