Blu Ray PS3

One of the most complex components on a Playstation 3 is the Blu-ray drive. The blu-ray drive is a very sophisticated piece of technology that allows you to use the gaming console to play the best PS3 games and to watch movies in amazing high definition resolution. However, like many pieces of sophisticated technology, the Blu-ray player is also somewhat delicate and is prone to developing issues. This is particularly true if you are an avid gamer and use your PS3 a lot.

So, what are some of the most common causes of PS3 blu ray problems and how can you fix them when they (happen? One of the most frequent issues that arises is the Playstation 3 blu-ray player gets out of alignment. This can happen if the unit is accidentally dropped or even during particularly intense game play. You can sometimes actually hear the disc making an odd noise when spinning if it has been knocked out of alignment. However, do not despair if you suspect this has happened. A good PS3 repair guide can instruct you on how to check and make sure that the Playstation 3 blu ray player is aligned properly and re-align it if necessary.

Another very common cause of Playstation 3 blu-ray problems is dust or dirt build up inside the unit. This is particularly a problem if there is dirt on the blu-ray lens, and if so, you will need to clean the lens very carefully. It is actually quite easy to clean the lens yourself at home with the right tools and instructions. However, if you do not know what you are doing you can also easily damage the unit. You should start by getting some Blu-Ray lens cleaner (sold in many stores and online), which often will come with detailed instructions for use. However, to clean the Blu-ray lens in the PS3 you will also need to open up the unit and know how to properly remove and reinstall the blu-ray player. A PS3 home repair manual will be very helpful for this process.
