Hi all,
I've have a slim 120 GB PS3 going strong for almost 5 years. My brother was playing Last of Us yesterday when the system crashed. We didn't think much of it and turned off the console. Today the console won't read a single game disc, (I tried 3). When you put the game in the system, it makes three of those loading noises, then the eject noise for a second, but the game doesn't eject, then the disc drive goes quiet. I tried a DVD movie and it worked fine, although the disc drive was a little louder than usual. Does anyone know what part needs to be replaced to fix this thing? Laser or the whole disc drive? Also, if I get a replacement system, can I just transfer all of my save game data via USB? I backed all of them up to a flash drive today, but I read some saves or tied to a specific console and won't load on another console if you try to move them.
