Why won't the blu ray drive read disks?

williamkent, check the answer on this forum. Of course there are the issues that arise if the PS3 blu-ray player gets out of alignment. This can happen if the unit is accidentally dropped or bumped while playing a game. Sometimes you can even hear the disc making an odd noise when spinning if it is out of alignment. the least common issue is with the laser itself. In such cases, you may need to replace the laser inside the blu-ray player. You can download a repair guide from here and here you can download the blu ray service manual Hope this helps somewhat, good luck.
