Right ok, what I was after was specifics, but from what your saying it does sound like the laser is on its way out.

My first console did the exact same thing, and cleaning the lens worked for a few months then it started playing up again, finally it stopped loading games completely and a new laser was the only solution.


The reason I was asking for more detail is that sometimes the tray mechanism's wear or become a bit stiff through lack of lubrication, and wont quite close properly, therefore spitting the disc out strait away, because it thinks its jammed.
