PS3 Won't Eject Disc??
Discussion
Just had a call from my son & he's informed me his PS3 won't eject the disc.
Reckons all else is working fine, so the game stuck inside will play OK & all other controls appear to work with the exception of eject. It's only 16mths old & is the newer smaller PS3.
Anyone any ideas what could be causing this? Is it a known problem & is their an easy fix/reset etc.?
Thanks in advance.

Has he tried the normal solution of turning it off and turning it on again? Mine did that once, and that sorted it.
If the problem persists take it back to the shop, but DO NOT perform surgery on it yourself, it voids the warranty.
If all else fails, use an instrument of great precision....

Unit was an Xmas present the year before last so is now 16mths old & therefore out of warranty.

Are you sure about that? I seem to remember mine had a very long warranty, 3 years is the figure in my head. Unit was an Xmas present the year before last so is now 16mths old & therefore out of warranty.
Is it making any noises when he tries to eject, either by pressing the button on the console or trying to do it via controller?

He reckons it makes the correct noises as though it's going to eject & the light flashes, however after a few seconds it just starts to try & read the disc again. Also reckons it's no longer actually reading the disc & firing the game up. Looks as though the warranty may still be in force so worst case we can request a replacement.

Google it, there are a few videos on youtube about it, i think if you repeatedly press the eject button as you turn the power on it ejects the disk but this has to be done at a certain point.
It's basically this, you have to constantly flick the back rocker switch on and off while pushing the reject button. It will make a horrible grinding noise. If it doesn't eject in 30 seconds. The console is probably fubared.Devilstreak said:
