My system won't play games. Do you have any advice for me?

First, make sure the eye in the system is cleaned off. Also, make sure the game disks are clean and that they have no scratches on them.

Community Answer

You need to reflow the GPU. If you're still under warranty, take it to Sony if you haven't opened it.

Question

I can watch movies on my PS3, but I am not able to load games, even ones not scratched. What can I do?

Community Answer

If you have a jailbroken PS3, you can install multiMAN and load your games (even if you downloaded them from the internet). But in the case of PS3 game discs, you may have to return it for replacement if it's not playing or loading the game you want to play.

Question

Will my PS3 work if I remove the wireless card from it? Will the controllers not connect?

Community Answer

It will still work. The wireless card is solely used to connect to the internet.

Question

What do I do if my PS3 will read some discs but not all of them?

Community Answer

Rubbing a banana peel on scratched discs helps them become readable again. If your PS3 still does not read your scratched discs, then it's likely beyond repair.
