    Just wondering if my PS3 system is doomed.  Recently, the system stopped playing game discs and eventually movies as well. I’m thinking great, I need a whole new blu-ray disc drive.  So knowing that this part would be most expensive, I’ve turned to using my PS3 as a paper weight.J/K. But then I saw something about cleaning the lens on the blue-ray drive. Could this solve my problem? Or is my real problem is that the system isn’t even noticing that there is a disc in the drive. So if anyone can further educate me on these subjects, that would be great. Also how does the PS3 come apart. I saw no screws and it looks like some clips have to slide one way or another.  Thanks everyone Chris
