OK so I get the death code for blue ray and dvds still work.

I have used it for months as a dvd player but I want to play GTA4.....


So here is the deal. I pop in a blue ray disc it plays for about 5 mins then dies.
It spits out the disc and I pop in another blue ray disc and get the death code. Does not read it at all.

YET

If I put in a dvd let it play for 10 secs pop it out and place in a blue ray disc it will play for a little bit again before it dies.

I always have to put in a dvd before I can even try to use a blue ray.

To me that says that the lazer isnt dirty.

Could the drive itself be dirty? I don't want to spend the 150 to have sony fix the damn thing. If you all think taking it apart and giving it a rubbing alcohol bath everywhere might fix it I'm down. Other wise it will continue to be a up-converting DVD player.

I had the latest at the time it quit/ Which was one update after the update that came with GTA4

Then I formatted the drive back to the basic and it had the same problem.

It was working just fine, then I took it over to a friends house and it started doing this.

While cleaning cleaning the blue ray in the ps3 one of the damn clips broke that hold those thin wires that connect the drive.

It might well have been nicotine smoke that clouded the laser lens in the first place? I've seen this happen before in smoking environments.

Good job getting it fixed though.
