Not sure if it’s hard drive. Games get stuck on loading screen and other issues. How hard is it to change the hard drive?

PS3 disassembly is very easy; Hard drive is a piece of cake just YouTube it

Back up all your saves and shite to the cloud (or a USB drive) first and then you could always try the auto-format factory reset option in the menu to see if that helps any.
Probably a good and easy first step, but if the hard drive is failing that may only be a temporary solution, and popping in a newer, bigger one is cheap and easy.

Mine did back in the day.
Had to send it to Sony for an official repair. Main reason I did so was that it was a fat 60GB which had full PS1 and PS2 backwards compatibility on it, meaning I didn’t want to risk losing that or say “frick it” and buy a new one.

The Blu ray drive crapped out. I bought a new eye and changed it out and it started working. I sold it immediately after and bought a ps4.
Ps3 is pretty easy to fix anything on it.
