My 60gb fat ps3 does not read any kind of disc after installing the 3.30 update.

I installed the mandatory update, restarted my ps3, and now it does not read discs (I tried ps3, ps2, dvd, cd, and blu-ray)

I called Sony (800-345-SONY) and they said it was a coincidence and all I can do is pay them $150 to send mine in and get a refurbished one.

I've never had any problems with it for almost 3 years, and they said that it coincidentally broke the exact same time I restarted my ps3, immediately following the 3.30 update. That seems a little impossible to me.

Anyone else having this problem?

It just sounds like the HD light thing went out. This happened to one of my PS3's. Everthing is functional....except reading discs. You can always return it to the store you bought it from. If you kept the reciept

I had the exact same problem. I tried installing the upgrade and my system froze. I can't cancel the upgrade or move it forward. I called Sony tec h support and they basically told be to send it to them for $150. My problem is ... it's 1 1/2 years old so my warranty expired. I'm screwed now, as they won't even look at it if it's expired. I'm currently looking for someone to help me. I need to find someone to fix the system in Toronto. Any suggestions?

I feel bad for you, because once you're out of that lame 1-year warranty (that should be at least 2 or 3 years) you'll have to foot over nearly $200. That's the Sony way of things, welcome!
