Thorpy Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 i have the 80gb version and mine has stopped reading any discs now, ive heard of this been quite common and its just out of warranty aswell so rather annoying, sony want 130quid for them to sort it, ive ordered a new laser off the net for 30quid so fingers crossed i can sort it myself worth a try Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Maybe it lost the settings for the hdmi and went back to the normal scart mode hence the blank screen and the need for it being reset.What happens to my mates anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
