PS3 making strange noise wen reading a disc (video+sound, link inside)

The PS3 is 7 months old and i never had problems with it before but 2 days ago it started to make a noise wen its reading a disc.

Heres a link of a video I made in which you can hear the noise.You may need to turn on your sound abit to hear it clear.

[QUOTE="beganoo"][QUOTE="coolin_PS3"] If everything's still working OK then just ignore it but don't play it too long and stop it from overheating. Is it only that disc?coolin_PS3

sounds abit scary to me, sound like an insect snoring.

do you remember what you do or play when you hear the noise for first time?

sounds to me like the disc is off balance and scraping something while it's spinning. Could potentially break something as you'll be leaving little platic shavings in your blu-ray drive. Sicne there's no SOny support where you live, you don't have to worry about breaking the warrenty sticker.

I say rip that thing aparat and get the blu-ray drive running while you can see the disc. If you need a guide for this there's numerous guides on the net for disc swapping in order to get PS2 games working. just look for one of those.

Then watch the disc spin an see what it's rubbing.

you could also look for any noticable scratches or scuffs on the games.

This is what I would do.

It doesn't really sound that bad. Unless your drive scratches your discs you should be fine.
