Has My DiskDrive packed in?

[korstes]

Hey there, this may be a stupid question but before i do anything i wanted to be sure 1st.


Ill start by explaining what happened ...


I was playing fifa 09 when my ps3 started to jump slightly then all off a sudden all the bit on the outside of the screen disappeared and then hte commentry stop and so did the crowd noise. I paused the game to see if i could unpause it for the game map etc to come back, but to my hardluck once paused i couldnt unpause it, so i reset it.
Once it had rebooted all i got was the PS3 menu come up, nothing else, the disk drive dont read any games or DVDs or any CD's that are put into the slot.

if any1 has had this problem and managed to get it fixed without taking it apart to replace the DD please let me know asap!

Cheers

when you say main menu, do you mean you get to the xmb?

if the xmb is the menu where u can turn off the console search the net, and change the settings then yes

I've also just noticed that when a disc is inserted the little loading disc appears, so im assuming the Disk drive isnt a problem, maybe the laser?
