I know this is an old thread, but my issue is the locking mechanism that keeps you from inserting a new disc while one is in, it won’t release (go back down) so i cant put a disc in or take one out, nothing happens when I push the eject button not even the beeping, how do I fix this issue? It’s a ps3 slim and it has also started freezing when i try to load a game thats downloaded on the system, both issues started at the same time,HELP PLEASE
