Hello,

I have a CD stuck in my PS3; I don't know what the kids did to make it get stuck.

I would like to know if there is anything I can do on my end to eject this CD from the PS3.

Thank you very much in advance,
Mireine Maniriho

On the PS3 Slim, you have an even simpler method:

Good evening,

Thank you very much; all I have to do now is look for a screwdriver.

Thank you, I will get back to you.

With a fat, I tried the procedure of the rear switch, but it works randomly, or the one of a 2nd CD partially inserted into the slot to wake up the system: it works sometimes too.

So I sprayed some basic penetrating oil in the left and right slot, but not in the center, and it works great all the time.

Good evening,

Is it a PS3 SLIM or FAT?

You can see the difference here:



Depending on your answer, I would advise you on a method to dismantle the CD drive.

Could you, if possible, make a video showing how the CD is stuck?

Best regards

There are softer solutions before dismantling ^^

That's why I'm asking for a video to see how it's stuck; if it's just misaligned, we can extract it easily. ;)

Good evening,

Thank you for your quick response. The CD is inside, it is not misaligned.

Turn off the PS3 using the switch at the back.
Place your finger on the front touch eject button.
While keeping your finger on it, turn on the PS3 with the switch at the back.
Hold this position for 10 to 30 seconds. During this time, the fan will make a louder noise than usual (it may sound like it's revving up).
your disc should be ejected.

Hence the question of the model;)

It's not on the Slim, you have to remove the plug and put it back in place of the switch.

Otherwise, see the answer below. https://forums.commentcamarche.net/forum/affich-34505506-comment-faire-sortir-un-cd-bloque-dans-la-ps3#12
