Ive been watching videos and reading internet. I cant get my MW2 disc out, can I get info from HDD. or has anyone tried washer method?

You got to ask yourself.... spend money putting a temp. bandaid on your PS3.. or cut your losses.

If you don't want to waste your time or money fixing it. Then to get your disc out just plug it in and hold the eject button, the fans will go real loud and the disc will eject.

However if you want to fix it then you can use the guide here. I followed it and repaired my 40GB PS3 FAT. Altough this is by no means a permenant fix, just gives you time to transfer saves and stuff. Should last less then 3 months tops.

I got it running for a week or two, and used an external Hard Drive and moved all my stuff on to it. You'll probably have to partition a bit of it for the FAT 32 file system

Well, since it's no longer under warranty just open it up and take the game out yourself. I had to to get Mirror's Edge out of my old system. It's really not hard as long as you have the proper tools.

I used the method you're about to use a few times, mainly to get the disc out and back-up my data. You've got a Slim already so that's ok,and you can back-up any data you need to that instead. To let you know(so you know you're not wasting time:P) the method does work, but only to an extent:)

But what else can you do? donalbane
