PS3 Slim FIX --Spinning Problem-- Easy!

[@tiffanyloftin5224]

This is actually a fix....Right when you hear the bumping sound (which is like 5 seconds after you insert the game....Take off the circle thing and put it back on after a second

[@bodybag5969]

this method does work maybe not for everyone but Patience. If this didn't work try holding eject button on PS3 until blue light starts blinking wait for it to stop,then try a game. Still not working try cleaning laser off n dust in ps3 drive. When putting a CD in tilt ps3 back method known to work sometimes

[@selimefeozesmer8028]

man u r best

[@MeTellTime]

Body ur the fucking best

[@selimefeozesmer8028]

tnx

[@andrewmay271]

Mine has the exact same problem as yours but picking up and then dropping the magnet doesn't help...

[@venezuela2123]

me to i wasnt having any problems until gtav

[@kubacakagoomba]

Mine doesn't even want to spin. I tried to spin it by myself. That made it spin itself, but now every time I try do to this, it doesn't work. Also even if the disc was spinning it couldn't be recognized due to laser doesn't even want to light -.-.. It's so dumb, it tries to load, but it's too lazy to load.

[@giovannivillatoro530]

Gta 5 fucked mine up it froze completely I turn it off and then it does tha false eject noise and it won't read any disc

[@matt123601]

it is gta 5 that messed up my ps3

[@impossableman02]

Why the hell is everyone blaming GTA 5? I have the most fucked up PS3 problem here and GTA 5 ran just fine.

[@XandaaZzz]

GTA 5 iss avery large game. That combined with the ps3 have very little ram forces the disk to spin a lot..

[@061Hitachi]

Mine constantly makes exact noise like here from 2:07 should I worry about that?

[@pomona5592]

I’m missing the white thing I took it apart and lost it

[@davidseverance5077]

Because if you don't see the disk symbol on the screen then the disk isn't spinning

[@NeyenSquid]

My ps3 reads the disc but i hear that sound when it stop and start every freaking second

[@strow3895]

Same

[@WickedKlown3116]

For me it was Dark souls 2 I was playing when there was a red phantom that was completely invisible, I used the bonfire to go back to majula and when it was loading the game froze, so I restarted the ps3 then no games would play, except ones I have fully downloaded onto the system itself. I tried this, the tilting method and the shaking method, and nothing has worked for me.

[@irlloydchristmas]

Mine has this same issue, but it does eventually read the disc. Can just take 2-5 min. And once it does read a disc. If i take it out after playting and do another, it reads it right away. Thinking I may get the lens cleaner as that could be a cause too. Thoughts? I am not too great w electronics so I don't want to take it apart myself..

[@cosmic3105]

What's the metal thing called that goes over the disc drive I need one I broke mine plz help

[@kubacakagoomba]

You mean that circle-shaped magnes?

[@carlotan9006]

Yeah its the magnet, i think the magnet is weak

[@davefranks2453]

My system does this, but when i start to play a game or demo on my hdd, it starts to read after i put it in and out a few times

[@Nintendo3D5]

Wow this bigass fan is definitely doing its job

[@Lifewithshorts2019]

My ps3 isnt reading cds

[@PowerUpGamingCanada]

"This is only temporary 'repair' you need to do this maybe everytime after switching disc." That isn't so easy then. First you have to be using a PS3 system with no case. Second you have to do that EVERYTIME you change a disc. Just spend the $50 - $100 and get someone to replace the laser. It is so much less painful then this.

[@tetrahydrocanibonol]

PowerUpGamingCanada offer up has cheap playstations now just buy one and transfer your files via Ethernet cable to the back of each console

[@davidseverance5077]

New laser you'd have to order usually if the disk isn't reading on the TV screen

[@leijonamiau7375]

Is it normal that my PS3 slim is making that same buzzing sound?

[@smokinulikeaboss7110]

what did he do all i ssaw was hm tap it ?

[@crazygazz]

Them two white flaps should go in, keeping the white magnet supported

[@meteorrain5826]

Thanks alot man.after i've done that and abit extra cleaning now my ps3 is working fine again lucky! Cheers!

[@JorgeMartinez-lc5lk]

i have the same problem, but i lost the magnet part thing, any other solution?

[@owaissilat3936]

how shold i fix in ps4 slim because it does not spinig the cd well

[@matthewsanchez5940]

Yea it gets the disc spinning and even reads the title page of the game but nothing further. Also when you switch games it will do the same thing again. I tryed two different drives and two different lasers on both drives and mine continues to do the same thing as in the video.

[@gustavoavila1982]

I'm having a similar problem but I've never played GTAV. I was playing Mass Effect 3the other night and next day when I turned on my console and inserted the game disc the PS3 made that exact same sound I ejected it and put another one in, didn't make the sound again but it won't spin and would not read any discs anymore. Anyone knows how to fix it?

[@adam360x]

My PS3 won't even spin at all. It makes the noise in the beginning but it won't spin at all.

[@repeatbfb3410]

You mean to tell me I took apart my ps3 when I had the right tool but now I don't have that tool and I can't take it apart again and all I had to do was that? I literally took apart my ps3 when I finally found the tool to get those stupid little black screws under the front of the ps3 out and I tried cleaning the laser and some other fixes and all I really needed to do was move that little piece around until it sat just right. Wow. now I have to wait a few weeks just to get the tool I am missing back.

[@tairtempo3023]

Just get a tiny flat head screw driver and put it in the side of the bolt and turn worked for me

[@wolface213]

When I put a game in my ps3 the blue light Doesn't come on and when I try to take it out of the system I Doesn't come out. Can someone help me?

[@rastislavpulak4168]

Hello guys. I have the trouble with my PS3, actually its very similar that the disc driver doesn`t work, cant read cd, but here I have one more trouble that the cd dont moving, can I this trouble fix somehow, or I must buy the new PS3 ? because disc driver its on the ebay for £50, what actually I can buy new PS3 for £70... Thanks for every answer. I appreciate that :)

[@kaunghtetthu8609]

new one better

[@tientje1094]

Udud

[@angelobobo7993]

exact same problem it doesnt read the disc and makes the exact eject noise

[@terrikachyna2]

how do u take apart the top of your ps3

[@Ls3adrian]

I have this exact same problem, but I cant find a fix, I mean this video shows what you can do but not like actually repair it and have it closed

[@alvincolon1]

Are you located around brooklyn? Cause I wanna know if you can fix mines for me if anything.

[@TheAQWHotmailMan]

Hi, I got the same problem as you here in the video. but my spinner, wont spin at all, i see your is spinning a bit from the start,, mine doesnt do that! please help me, Thank You

[@customlego09]

if you pause at 4sec you can see something is an oval shape (in the bottom middle) on my ps3 after cleaning my lens a white knob popped up and fit in there so I cant put in my games. Any idea how to get this down?

[@darknessnight4802]

Thabks for uplaoding this video i had to know how the dic wasn't entering

[@impossableman02]

My problem is that it makes a ticking noise and tries to read. But sometimes it does read but an error occurs when I start the game.

[@codebebop]

that sounds just like my problem. game starts playing, then it starts making a noise like its having trouble moving back and forth to read the disc. so the game will freeze when it changes to next stage, or if online playing bf4, the guns and gone and all other players are invisible except their names. so I took it apart , propped up the tray, and ran my games. no problems but it doesn't solve why it happens when I put it all back together :-(

[@glow2359]

+codebebop dude that's exactly what happened when I was playing BATTLEFIELD hard-line then it wouldn't spin anymore

[@DontWakeMeUp.]

I have currently this issue on my Ps3 Slim model cech-2001A. I have ordered a new laser to replace and hopefully fix my issue. My ps3 only reads CD and DVD based format disc. So the problem was the blueray laser. The spinning problem is just that, it's trying to read the disc but the laser design to read that specific disc, it will try to read it as a DVD or cd, hence why it spins for a bit. I will update you all as soon as I get the part and replace it.

[@kj646]

same here

[@DontWakeMeUp.]

UPDATE: I know this is late but i had forgotten that I posted on this video, yes it was a dead laser and you will have to replace it. Just be careful when you replace the laser and not fuck up the assembly of the blueray drive. If requested I could make a video on how to properly replace a laser on ps3.

[@Papariich]

Jesus Maciel yes

[@TheMagicclaw29]

billyhatcher643 if this happens it won't accept just because it might be broken on the inside so try opening it up and seeing what's wrong

[@MrMe1280]

my ps3 is doing the same thing. it starts to spin up then stops. and continues trying to spin until i open the slide hatch. how would i re balance the top entry slide open style..???

[@BlazeLibra]

That happens to me too, except when I wait a long time, it actually works. Maybe it's the loose thing, and when it actually works, it gets balanced

[@wilsonmaingrette715]

Blazeh no that's not it

[@BlazeLibra]

Thanks for the detailed explanation

[@wilsonmaingrette715]

Ur welcome

[@mchan5262]

so then what do you need to replace then in the long run to make it work..the Lazer??

[@kiddywiddy5000]

What is it we need to replace?

[@DontWakeMeUp.]

+xFluffyMods the laser. I have this same problem and you have is a dying laser. I just ordered mine on ebay. You can replace it but I do suggest you look up a video on it and try not to mess with the blue ray driver moder.

[@Za7amoza]

You tack it and put it or what ?

[@TheKarloneill]

is there a warrenty seal on the ps3 slim

[@MW3Akatsuk1Pa1n]

[@scotteckart1401]
