re: Disc Read Error/Laser Problems [II]

Yay!

Also if you notice this happening again I suggest you open up your PS2 and clean it out. Make sure you check these two threads out.

Neoseeker's DIY Guide for the PS2

and this one here

PS2 do it yourself guide


Warning:
You should note opening your PS2 to do the cleaning breeches your warranty on your system. Do this at your own risk.

re: Disc Read Error/Laser Problems [II]

Ok, I am not sure what the problem is, but I just got a ps2 slim for Christmas. It worked fine for a week or so but then just today it stopped. When I turn it on, it goes to the main menu ( where it says BROWSER and SYSTEM CONFIG.)

But when i put a disk in it acts like its about to play a game. but it doesnt. It just stays black. please help!
Thanks in advance.

re: Disc Read Error/Laser Problems [II]

Interesting. Have you tried a few different games on the system with the same response? Or is it just one game that you are noticing the problem with?

re: Disc Read Error/Laser Problems [II]

Come to think of it, the only game that worked (somewhat) was GTA san andreas. The thing was, that it acted slow. Basicaly to the point where I decided to just stop and unplug my ps2 and give it a rest.

But I have tried more than 4 games all having the same original problem.

re: Disc Read Error/Laser Problems [II]

Alright. So it worked fine for a week and now it's just being stubborn? I'm not really sure what the problem is but I'm thinking it's the laser. Since you just got it for Christmas I suggest taking it back to the store and exchanging it.

re: Disc Read Error/Laser Problems [II]

Alright. I have a problem. I have a weird clicking noise in my PS2. It doesn't click while I play something but after about 20 minutes of play it usually clicks continually and freezes.

I have opened the PS2 and cleaned the lens but what else can I do because that didn't help?

I just put in my Driver: Parallel Lines disc, and the Playstation 2 logo appeared, but then it went back to the browser menu for a second, and then displayed "Please insert a PS or PS2 format disc". I've tried a few other discs, and all of them worked. Can anyone help me here?

re: Disc Read Error/Laser Problems [II]

If you've done the lens cleaning, then your PS2 no longer works. Happened with mine and I wound up buying a used PS2 later on. I take it your PS2 is quite old?

re: Disc Read Error/Laser Problems [II]

Ouch, mine was 4 1/2 years old when mine went under. I even had to keep it because the used PS2 I bought after it couldn't read my large 32MB memory card, so my old PS2 could read it still and I'd use it to swap files with memory cards that would work. Seeing how you already tried to fix the lens, I figure you already air dusted the inside? Probably a last-stitch effort there.

You mean cleaning it ? MY PS2 is like new, the only thing is wrong (i think), is with the lens.

Mine's 4 1/2 years old too, well more or less, and I can't see anything wrong with it I even started using Swap Magic a month ago. Now you scared me, lol. I mean, did it broke itself all of a sudden for you?
