If when you turn the system on it stays on briefly, press the eject button as fast as you can to try and get the game back. Who knows if sony will send you a refurbed system or same one just repaired (meaning adios Ridge Racer 7)...

That sounds like there could be a problem with the power supply in which it would be a good idea to call Sony up. And as far as the game even if they send you another system Sony will send your game back to you (usually a few days after you get your system back). And as far as the disc being damaged there isn't much of a chance of the disc being damaged because the Blu-Ray disc is very hard and very hard to damage.

You don't have to turn the ps3 on to eject a disc. Just press the eject button while it is off and it should eject your disc. I do it all the time.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

I'm not afraid to die, its just that i dont want to be there when it happens.
Ok, ill give u an advice: Call or Email SONY, or, take it to the place from where you bought it and ask the person if he/she knows whats up.
There are many reasons why this might happened to you, so there might be ways of fixin it.
GOOD LUCK and I hope you fix it.

- Apr 10, 2008 10:17 am GMTtry holding down the power button for ten seconds (well, keep your finger over the sensor that acts like a button) and it will reset to factory settings. Could be your settings are corrupted.

Get your Portable ID!04398088.png[/img][URL=https://www.playfire.com/]PSN Gamercards[/URLI never turn my PS3 off and the only time I take a disc out is when I change the disc for another disc, so leaving a disc in the drive shouldn't ba a issue. I was thinking of something else here and that is try seeing if one of the cables in back has happened to get pulled loose from the connection. Also sometimes electronics will come back if you unplug the main power cord and just leave it unplugged for a while (I think it allows the power supply time to cool down) that could have overheated because of a power spike or even a power drop beyond the usual fluctuation of AC power.- Please wait.
