The Sony PlayStation 3 sometimes suffers common faults and of course there are solutions on offer. Sometimes gamers report problems starting after playing a certain game, but this is unlikely that the game itself caused the problem, but once they ejected the disc, they reported that they found the PS3 not loading games from then on.
A PS3 not reading disks is a major problem for gamers as it renders the PlayStation 3 useless, and replacing the Blu Ray drive can cost as much as £80 and that is for a reconditioned drive not a new one.

Sony is willing to repair the consoles if it is sent back for repair whilst still under warranty, and of course this is an option, but be prepared to wait for some time for the return of your console, and the cost could be high.
There has been a lost of speculation and gamers are wondering if this is simply a case of the PS3 not reading games or a much bigger issue. If your screen is blank then you may have issues with your video settings or the cables could be damaged, if you have tried things such as the settings are correctly configured and match the type of TV you are using, or you have held the power button down for five seconds as advised by other gamers, which should restart the console in the original video settings, after trying all this and the screen is still blank, it could most likely be a problem with the GPU and this requires expert solder re-balling, using specialist repair equipment.
Advice has been handed down to all gamers to try everything before resorting to sending the console back to Sony or taking it to a PlayStation 3 repair service, and simple things to check first are if the cables are properly connected or not, sometimes you will see a blinking red light on your PS3 and this can be fixed by ensuring that the cables are plugged properly into the console.
An important thing to try is dusting, your hard drive disk may be full of dust, or checking for a fuse problem, by replacing your computers power cable with the PS3’s one, and if your computer boots up properly you know it is not the fuse, but if all this fails then it is time to seek the help of a PlayStation 3 repair facility.
