Configuration: Sony Playstation 3

History: Quite new, barely used

    when it starts it immediately jumps to "no media server?"
    Does it play games?

      No, it does not jump to "no media server". That message only appears after clicking "search for media server". When a game OR disc is inserted, no icon appears on the home screen, as if no disc were put in at all. Both games and BD discs have this happen.

        Is it on a network with a media server - XBMC, Media Center, etc.?

        Regarding disc, if NO disc works - not just a specific disk... drive is bad.

          How can I fix a bad drive? Where can I bring it? Thank you~

      Do you have the so-called yellow light of death that's been plaguing PS3s lately?

      If its really new, then you should be able to return it to the store from which you purchased it.



      Otherwise, you'll need to contact Sony PS support and arrange for exchange.  Be aware that your save games ARE NOT part of the exchange normally, make sure you've backed up your saved games etc.. or make arrangements with support to move that data.
