@lusi123 it is possible that your laser is either dirty or has failed. You could try a commercially available lens clean, i.e. Maxell makes a brushless / dry Blue-Ray/HD-DVD cleaner. Or you could try this. If none of that works, consider changing the laser lens or the drive itself If nothing else, try to contact the game console guru
