would you believe it.. the day before MGS4..and a month out of warranty..

anyway, the reason I post is to ask if anyone has had this issue and managed to fix it without sending back to Sony? I've read the forums and there seems to be an issue with the Laser failing on some PS3's. the problem I have is the disk loads ok, but I constantly get the little symbol in the top left of the screen and I can't play any CD's, DVD's or Blu-rays..

any tips greatly appreciated, hope you all enjoy MGS4..:(

This happened to me. The PS3 wouldn't read any discs. Sony gave me a new PS3. What I'd do if I were you is phone Sony and tell them. If they ask if it's in warranty just say yes. They might not ask for proof. If they do just say you can't find it. It might not work but it's worth a try.

I would return it and get it exchanged.

Attempting to fix it for yourself, you have to be professional at electronics.
