is this normal?

**m0tl3sl4y3r** · 02-01-2010

okay heres my problem or question
lately, my PS3 has been making a good amount of noise when reading the discs, more than usual
is that normal or is it something I need to be worried about?
thanks in advance

Have you dropped it?
Is it out in a area where it can collect dust?
Is it just with a specific game?

**m0tl3sl4y3r** · 02-01-2010

I accidentally knocked it over but its on the ground anyways so it only fell over onto carpet
its not really in an area where it can collect dust
and its with most games

If it's damaging the discs, then it sounds like a big issue, if not, it should be ok

**m0tl3sl4y3r** · 02-01-2010

the discs are fine

**Jahk** · 03-01-2010

what sort of discs. strictly dvds or also games? Mine hums and vibrates when I put on certain dvd copies. I think it's the labels or difference in disc weight.

Also I had a problem with one game specificly. The hole in the middle is cracked. But if I push the disc when inserting it plays fine and no vibrating.

It could be getting dust build up inside of it, try spraying it out. People say that just moves the dust, but its already causing a problem just sitting there.

odd, just one game? maybe the disc has a flaw, warped or lob-sided
