if you haven't already try cleaning the laser with little bit of Methylated spirits or cleaning product similar such as standard rubbing alcohol using a cotton bud over it lightly. I use to have issues like this with the xbox 360 and when talking to randoms on PSN over the year's that where having issues with games that kept messing up I told them to do it and solved the issue 9/10 times, also my old CECH4000 use to fail to read disc sometimes and this would fix it, also the HDD in the system can sometimes be to blame, for example I had a 500GB hdd I transferred from a CECH4000 to a CECH2000 which crapped its self after installing GTA V, was taking over a minute to load textures, games where freezing or struggling to load, XMB was really laggy etc and if I tried reinstall firmware was getting stuck on 99%. So I swapped to SSD's in all my systems. The CECH4000 run the best of all the models with a SSD though the system can never really take full advantage of a high grade one, I mainly bought mine for the memory features which saved my data during power surges more times then I can count. To give you an idea over 8 years I blown 10 TV's, had multiple console's with burn marks inside the PSU from power surges even though I was using a surge protector and the random shutting off due to the surges where I lived. Think around 7 of the HDD 's I had messed up over a two year period when surges get really bad, So was a good investment for me as never had a SSD fail when I lost power.
Though I lived in middle of nowhere and power would go out if it rained, surges where frequent. Getting solar power fixed the overall issues with power surges but prior to that was all about quality surge protectors and maintain electronics when the board failed as replacing them wouldn't make sense in this situation.
Sorry about getting off topic though hopefully this information is helpful to somebody.
Is not of topic bc we're talking the same topic with some variations.
So, all my hdds where destroyed by electricity problems. I didn't want to move to a sdd In a ps3 because, All that I read about it was compatibility problems. For my PC doesn't really matter, is just a crappy minilaptop and just use it to make some things that I can't do with my phone.
I didn't have problems with my games, just only when I try to make a iso backup. Didn't have any psn game or something, don't have too much options to get usd's (like PayPal or zelle) to pay, so I buy used game disks.
I just hate disk so much lol. I hate when they get scratches and my ps3 doesn't recognize them. I use to backup ALL my games, I constantly move out my house, and I don't like to go somewhere and have to travel with them lol. I use to play too much Street Fighter and Soul Calibur, and thankfully they didn't have any problem when I tried to backup them...
