The PlayStation 3 Slim is the second version of the PS3 video game console with the original model number CECH-2000. Produced by Sony Computer Entertainment it fixed many issues of the original (fat) Playstation 3. It was released on September 1, 2009.

Why isn't my PS3 reading disks?

I've made a video of what happens when I put a disk in. Basically it spins, slows down, speeds up again, and so on until it eventually stops. The game never shows up on the "game" menu (any game, not just the one in the video). All I've tried so far is cleaning the laser lens thing and removing all the dust I could, and neither made a difference. I don't know what else to do now. I've tried searching for the answer to this question, but couldn't be sure any of the answers I found applied to my situation.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Laser has probably died. You can buy replacements on eBay. Make sure you get the correct one for your model number. Easy enough to fit.
