The PlayStation 3 game console has a disc gate that goes up and down to hide and display the console's memory and CompactFlash disc slots. It may become stuck in the open position when a device is improperly inserted in the console. A memory card or CompactFlash memory disc that sticks out of the port will not allow the gate to fully close, and it can break off if the gate is forcibly closed. Damage to the game console may void your device's warranty, as the warranty does not cover accidental damage.
