    PS3 Not Reading Discs

    Ok. Maybe someone here can help me.

    Was about 6 hrs in playing FFXIII and my PS3 froze up.

    Now FFXIII and none of my other games are showing up in PS3 menu. Tried rebuilding data aswell as restoring.

    Some sites say its laser, others say its HD been corrupted (which i took and and cleaned ports for just to make sure it wasn't contaminants)

    Any Ideas?

    This happened to me once, it was the blu-ray diode and I had to send it in to get repaired. Does it read normal blu-rays or DVDs?

    Yup, sounds like you have a bad blu-ray diode or something similar, if you tried recovery and all that, and it still didn't fix it, your only option is probably to send it in to Sony for repair. If it's still under warranty, it'll be free, otherwise it's $150 I think.
