PS3 make grinding noise.

When I play a game for even only about 30mins and I take it out and insert a DVD, for a few seconds my PS3 slim starts making this farly loud grinding noise while it loads but if I pop in a DVD right when I turn on my PS3 it doesn't make that noise. It also doesn't make that noise if I been playing a game then decide to put in another game, just DVDs. Anyone else have this happen to them? I've heard it could be the laser having trouble reading the disc as well as possible overheating. My PS3 is less than 3 months old and is kept in a well ventilated area away from other electronics.

Also, I know it's normal for the PS3 to make a cracking noise during gameplay and after it been shut off because of the plastic cooling off but is it normal for the plastic to continue to make cracking sounds even about 2 hours after shutting it down

Mine does too! It makes that noise but there is no error, scratch or damage at all no performance spikes or sags either.

Same with me

Chyea I recently got a slim and it makes a lot of noise, kind of bothersome. At least it's not damaging the disks though so that's what counts. Is anyone else noticing the slim takes forever to connect to PSN though? My 60 GB doesn't take nearly as long as my 250 slim.

Maybe it doesn't like you and it's grinding its teeth:P

Ah yes ive heard about this apparently its playstation AIDS...

The Slims do have louder disc drives when you insert discs, and I was reading the AVS forums which specialize in HDTVs, Video, Audio, Stereo, Blu Ray, DVD and such, and there was a thread where people were saying they don't want to risk their PS3s in breaking using it as a DVD player. I think it was about upscaling DVDs with the PS3. I'll provide the link if I find it.
