Sony PlayStation - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support - Page 4

Try using a lens cleaning disc. If that doesn't help your PS3's disc drive is probably dying. Time to call Sony support...

I would start with a firmware update (2.60) and also a full system restore. That should fix the problem. Let me know. I'm a PS3 expert!

Well if the regular dvd's dont work.. I would recommend you to buy Blu-Ray movies instead.. PS3 is the best known blu-ray player. buy at least one blu-ray movie and try that.

The problem is all in the settings. You probably have a 1080i television that cannot display in 1080p. To fix this go to the main menu and go to:

Settings:

Video Settings

Then Blu Ray Disc and make it turn the Display BD in 1080p 24hz or whatever. Once you do that, start the Blu Ray Disc again, and you should be able to watch it. This all happened because your tv doesn't display 1080p.

Hope this helps!

have you tried holding down the reset button to turn off your console. Months before I bought my Ps2 I noticed my friends turning off their PS2's using the switch on the back. When i bought mine , months later i was invited to a friends house and noticed when he turned off his ps2 by holding the reset button down for a few seconds. After playing on their trampoline i went home and tried this reset button thing and it worked. Although i had the fat bulky ps2 this trick also works on slimline models too. This should solve your problem. The switch on the back i later found out was for when you wanted to turn off your ps2 during a thunderstorm.

I think you can try to use Leawo Blu-ray Ripper.

Leawo Blu-ray Ripper is an all-inclusive tool for handling both Blu-ray and DVD discs. The ability to decrypt Blu-ray disc with MKB level ranged from 0 - 23 and with AACS and BD+ protection has made it the strongest ever to rip Blu-ray videos.

You can try clear your movie data from the discs you\'ve played (according to Fox that\'s sometimes the culprit when a disc won\'t even load): restart your PS3 and go to the video menu and scroll up to the BluRay Data section. Go into it and check that it has saved some info for your movies. Now deleted all the data in this folder except the shared data crap, and hopefully your movies start perfectly!! If that fails try the following:In the XMB(menus) go to Settings ---> BD/DVD Settings ---> BD 1080p 24 Hz Output (HDMI). Turn that off. This has also been known to work.

you will have to crack it open again like you did before, when you have the metal case and the top guide cover off you will see 4 little rollers , two on each side, these guide the disk in. .
(with the console front facing you) in th middle you will see the offending white stopper, DONT TRY AND FORCE IT DOWN !!! this will really bugger it up.
the problem is , the system thinks there is still a disc in there , so were gunna trick it o.k ?
to do this you need the system on. for the sake of your eyes put the round white cup with the magnet in it over the lens,magnet side up.
VERY IMPORTANT !!! do not touch anything other than i say.....zap!
turn it on and touch the sensor to load it up (hold the cover over it to locate it exactly)
in front of the right front roller you will see a white stick poking up that has its own little track it can travel around. gently guide that stick back , you should notice the system starting to read and all the rollers will slide open (you may have to help them a little (touch only the rollers)
when there all back , you system thinks theres a disc in , so press the eject sensor (line it up with the cover again)
watch with joy as the white stopper drops down.
good luck

It could be the fact that your PS 2 console is very old then now and the mechanics and the parts inside of the console are starting to wear out and are no longer working anymore. You could buy a new one from JJ games and Lukie Games and Eadt Starland games and DkOldies.

you can change the region code with updates but its risky cos once you upload the update for the region code it may not let you play the other region coded games

it's easy..to solve it... i have same problem tooo...., i disamble my psp..try to replace lcd,,but same problem...., i figured it out... with full day thinking..., n rechecked all mainboard..., finally found the problem...., just email me...for those who want to solve this problem....

Try dusting out the ps3, and if that doesn't work clean the lense.

How do you change region on ps2 SCPH-39001

if u want to connect to online gaming u will need to first register on the playstaion network.

Hi, Ref common problem with Blu-ray players only playing crank 2 in a small section of the screen. It seems the film needs extra buffer memory on your player. If you have a card reader slot, ie USB or SD, put in a blank card and the film plays fine. I have Panasonic DMP-BD35 which has a SD slot on the front, i used a 32MB card and the film played with no problems. Hope this info helps.

Yes if your PS2 is hacked you can connect an external hard drive.

Make sure that the TV is set to the proper " Channel "

With some HD TVs, you have to switch between different types of input depending on what you want to access.

try this:
1. turn off PS2
2. unplug PS2
3. plug PS2 back in
4. turn on PS2

hope this helps.
it's from the manual :D

As of now, there is no way to make bluray movies region free. Games, however, are region free so you can get any PS3 games and they will work on your system.
Cheers!
