Well, I updated everything completely, and everything else works, but games won't load… I tested it out with a game I borrowed first but I figured it didn't work because the game had **** all over it. So I tested a DVD, and it worked just fine.
Later on, I borrowed a different game to see if it would load, and still nothing. [These games work on another PS3.]
…Help? =[
Suggestion:
One of the most common problems with the PS3 is that dust gets inside, and gums up the blu-ray drive mechanism.
Since this PS3 is old it's no longer under warranty, so having Sony fix it will cost you almost as much to buy a new one.
That said, your PS3 is one of the few out there that can also play PS2 games, so it may be worth your while to fix it yourself – or at least sell it to someone who can fix it.
You can attempt to clean the PS3's drive by opening the PS3 and using a q-tip to clean around the lens. However this fix is only temporary. Eventually the problem will come back, and the drive will stop working altogether.
You can also purchase a new drive for the PS3 and install it yourself.
Instructions for both procedures are all over the internet. Just be careful.
