what does this mean? i want to play but i keep getting error 80010514 when i try to start game disc please help!

running 2.0 latest update
trying to play rfom or cod4
will load ps2 games but not ps3 ones

heeeeeelp i'm going nuts here please help me someone anyone aaaaaaargghhh

its a UK ps3 and i updated to 2.0 the same way i always update since i got the console in march, by downloading it straight onto the console from the XMB bit

So were you finally able to fix this problem?... I just got it today, and I don´t know what to do!!

Lyndon M Staff... is there any other solution for error 80010514 or only one will be to send it in to Sony for service?

But my PS3 already has the 2.01 update, installed it on the release date, the 18th I think it was... and the problem just occured yesterday.

Ok, thanks for the help anyways... I'll try restoring the Ps3 tonite and reinstalling the latest version... if I get onto something, I'll post it here.
Later.

BTW... while dealing with the problem and tsting different possible solutions, the game (COD4) was read by the PS3 as Corrupt... could this have something to do with it? I just bought it yesterday at a small retail store, Could it be the game? Although I did play it for about 4-5 hours, in 2 different sessions.

It was only able to read FIFA08... after running it for a few minutes I tryed again with COD4, and it couldn't read it... after that, it didn't run FIFA08 anymore... Then I thought I should've left it like that and just throw COD4 away, but then again...
The game is brand new, I just bought it yesterday and I see no scratches or anything of that sort for it to be read as a corrupt file.

I already called them and a guy named Jeff told me that, he'd never heard of anything like it before!! To restore the system and try again... so he basically was of no help at all... I'll keep on troubleshooting tonite though.

Thanks for everything bro, you're the most help I've gotten all day!!

I´ve done it all, reset settings and even restore the PS3, the problem still persists... only thing I haven´t been able to do is downgrade the firmware and re-update it... I simply don´t know how!!

Is there a way to downgrade the firmware?? That´s the only thing I haven´t tried!

I can´t take it anymore, I can´t play anything at all!!

I'm calling them right now... Let's see what they have to say now.

Ok... Just as I thought, I'll have to send it in for them to check it. And to think I was about to buy an LCD TV and Home Theater bundle... I guess this messes up my plans!!

Received this error about 3 weeks ago. I called Sony and told them what happened. Within 5 business days I got my box. I mailed it on Monday, they received it on Thursday and send me a new PS3 which I received today (Tuesday). So it took about 2 weeks which was a long two weeks but It is now fixed. Good luck

Lyndon,

I am also having this same issue. I'm not even going to bother with reformatting the system since it seems like it has to do with the Blu-ray scanner. I bought the system a couple months back and I seemed to have lost my receipt. Is there any way that Sony will accept something other than a receipt for a free repair? Also is there a chance that a new firmware update could fix the problem? I currently have firmware version 2.20.

i had this error today too, half way through playing a map on cod4, it just frooze and i could not do anything atall, so i powered off the ps3 and powered back on again, and the ps3 was not reconising i had a game, but my cod4 disc was still in there.

so i ejected the disc and put it back in, and it still wouldnt read it, i tried with other games and same thing.. so i turned it off for 10 minutes, turned it back on and thought it was ok, as it was now showing the cod4 game in the xmb.

tried to run the game, and it would try to run, i would get so far as even searching for a game and waiting to game start in the lobby, but it would just freeze, and then back to square 1 with it no even regester there is a disc inserted for a while.

i rang sony, and they confirmed that this error code (80010514) is indeed a hardware failure, to be more specific, the Blueray drive has failed and the system will not run like this.

so he arranged for a corrier to come with a brand new ps3 system for me, and the corrier will take the faulty one away, free of charge of course..

so anyone with this error code, it is NOT a firmware issue, it is for sure hardware failure, the blueray disc is gone and will need replacing.. they come to bring me my new one on monday, it is now saturday morning, so its not to bad.

i have had the ps3 since november last year, and i thought it was just great how the guy said immidiatly after i gave him this error code, that they will replace it with a brand new ps3, even though its 5 nearly 6 months old, i thought they would take it for repair, not give me the brand new one, so im very pleased with that,

sony are great, never had problem like this before with any sony product, im long time ps user and psp and when i do need it, they replace me a brand new system.. just fantastic after sales service, beats the hell out of the xbox i think..

anyway, this post was just to confirm that this code means your blueray drive is broke and no firmware can fix it im afraid, youll have to ring sony and get a new ps3.
