My playstation stopped working.

The thing turns on, spins the disk for a few seconds, then stops. It tells me "please insert playstation game disk" or something like that even when I put in a music CD. I know it's not the discs because they work on a friends system. Any help would be good.

Have you opened it up at all? Is it in its case?

Sounds like it can't read the discs properly. Try cleaning the lens with a Q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol.

Try flipping it upside down.

Works for me.

If cleaning the Laser doesnt work, adjust the POT inside it, thats what the problem with my GC when it did the same exact thing.
