Resistance 2 not starting

I was playing resistance 2 campaign when I died. After I died the screen went black as if it were loading and stayed black for a looong time. I evetually decided to shutoff the system and now i cant get it to play again. I just got the ps3 today so I dont know how to manually start the game but when I put in the game it is not auto-starting.

to manually start the game, go to the game section on the XMB and scroll up or down to the game disc icon

im on the game tab and all there is are :game data utility" "Memory card utility" " saved data utility" "Trophy collection"

you must have a faulty laser lense. And this is the "other thread" I was talking about.

how would my laser lense break? The game froze and now nothing starts I just dont see how that would break the lense

do you think if I restore my ps3 that it might possibly be fixed? I just got it today so i wont b losing much.

i have the 80gb model with 4 usb ports. I only have resistance 2 and infamous installed.

you can try to reset the console, if that doesn't work you should just take the console back to the store and get a new one, because it would still be returnable to the store.

But before you take it back, make sure it isn't just a user error. If the disc doesn't appear at all when inserted then you must have a faulty laser lense.

The game wouldn't have been the problem, some things that have defects will work for a short while before not working at all, which may be the case with your laser lense.

i got it off of ebay refurbished. And there never even was a disc option on the game tab it would just auto play.

firmware?

firmware?

the newest version of PS3 Operating System (software) can be updated through internet. It doesn't cost anything.

the disc option will only come up when a disc is inserted. The only time a game usually won't auto-start is when you start the system and a disc was left in it. Did you eject and reinsert the disc?

yes but i mean even before the freeze there was no option even with a game

and yes i have the latest software update so a console restore should fix it?

first thing, eject the disc and reinsert it with the console still on, see if it will start.

and there had to be an option to manually start the game otherwise the game wouldn't have started. When it auto started you should see the disc icon on the game section of the XMB before it actually boots the game up.

yea its the latest im restoring now.

it didn't work...

the bars went away now it wont read discs
