i just bought brand new thinner ps2 last night and it won't play any of the games: it reads the disc goes thru the intro and then freezes the discs are pretty close to new. i'm returning it...don't waste your time/money trying to get your ps2 to work...take it as a loss.. i guess i'll try xbox and start over with new games and controllers.... |

Blue discs on my playstation 2 wouldn't work including the new Growlanser game I got, but for some reason if I stand my ps2 up vertically they work without a problem, it might help others who have problems with the blue discs. |

My Ps2 will read some of my games and on other ones, like MLB 2005 it will play like normal until I go to play the actual game. When I finish selecting my lineups and the stadium it will not load from that point on. I checked my disk and it is in good shape. Can anyone please help? |

The Ps2 can't let u play copied games. If ur game is copied then u can't play it in ur Ps2. Only "original" Ps1 games could be played not copied games. Or it could b something else... |

"I speak from experience. MY PS2 is 3 years old and I had the same problem with inserting a disc and hearing the system just click and hear the cd spin up and then click and hear it speed up again. A student of mine told me that it's actually a lens problem which SONY is aware of. So I called them, and they were very nice and sent me an authorized return number. Within 9 days, I had my PS2 back and it works and they didn't charge me at all.
Here's the link for the phone number to call.
http://www.us.playstation.com/support.aspx?id=howtoobtainservice"
I tried calling Sony up today and they told me that they are unaware of any defect with the PS2 and that they would not replace the lens free of charge. They would however offer me one of their repair options, with having to pay $45 to get it fixed. Is there more information available on this somewhere? The customer service guy and their supervisor had no clue about it and just said their was no defect and they could only offer me their normal repair options. |

This worked:
From the second post, I just put some scotch tape on the blue game (Lego Star Wars) and it worked.
I took apart the PS2 and cleaned the laser, I also adjusted the gears. None of this helped. It sounded like it was stripping or something, so I figured I'd give the tape a shot. I know it sounds crazy but it worked - for me in this instance anyway. |

My ps2 has been making a funny noise lately, it will do it randomly during gameplay, or wen i turn it on, it sounds like like it has something to do with the disk spinning becuz il get this crazy sound like something is loose but keeps repeating itself really quickly...sometimes gameplay will continue, but most times the game will freeze, now after trying to clean the insides of the ps2, it doesnt even read the disks, it will go "reading disc..." then stop
plz email me or reply if u can help |

Hello,
Would someone kindly assist me in my PS2 problem? I have recently found then whenever I turn my PS2 on, and put in a DVD/Game it repeatedly flips through the menu options without it being touched. (Example. With a DVD, on the main page, it will constantly go from play movie to scene selection to options to extras and back to play movie again.) No matter what I do, it won't stop. Clicking on it with the controller has no effect. The only way it will quit is if I unplug the controller (and I used a brand new controller on the system to in case the one I had was faulty, but it did the same thing.)
The only thing I can currently do on the PS2 is watch a DVD with the controller unplugged (and that's only if the DVD will start automatically with out pushing the play movie option). If the controller is plugged in when the movie is playing it will start skipping to other scenes, fast forwarding, pause, and ultimately it will stop and give a the black screen. On the black screen, the PS2 will fly through the bottom line of the PS2 movie options continously.
Does someone know what is the matter with my PS2? |

you can use scotch tape about an 1 inch long and put on the side with the picture. Make sure one of the tapes is on one side of the hole. The other tape on the other side exactly parralel to the 1st piece of tape. It should work better. Good luck! |

This is concerning the all known disc read error.
Ahhh... the gear. I've just spent a chunk of time adjusting the little gear that moves the laser optics closer and farther away from the media (CD). I have had mixed results. You see, my PS2 plays DVDroms fine, but it will not play a PS1 games (black media) to save it's life.
I was able to adjust the gear to get a few PS1 games to read but this was at it's maximum hight and caused the laser optic to score a few disks. This also rendered the PS2 unable to read DVDroms.
I'm not about to tweak my PS2 into being nothing other than a PS1. But, I still want it to be double duty.
The optics are clean as most of you who actually crack the case will find out.
Forget the tape on the CD, fix it and make it work.
My next step is to adjust the voltage of the laser for the CDrom portion of it.
I hope that this feedback helps you all. I will post again with more information, if I can get it to work.
P.S. READ THE GOD DANG FORUM!!! before you post a stupid question. I've seen so many questions posted after an answer was given it makes me sick.
RTFM - Read The F**king Manual
As posted before (I know I've read it) is this link http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/ps2_disc_read_error_a.txt
it will tell you how to adjust the voltage on the laser.

Okay, ...this is a follow up to my last post.
After lurking around in the bowls of the internet I have found lost of information concerning disk read errors on the PS2. There is a large range of problems with the drive and there is a large range of adjustments that can be made to counter them.
The one fix that did work for me was to adjust a little screw located on the sled that moves the laser back and forth. Over time the sled will get play in it and this screw will need to be adjusted. Be very carefull when adjusting this because to much of an adjustment will leave you with a scored disk.
There us a quick way to tell if this might be your problem. Turn your PS2 upside down and se if the game loads. If it does than your sled needs to be adjusted.
There is also the option of adjusting the laser voltage. I strongly reccomend adjusting the sled first as even the smallest voltage adjustment to the laser can be damaging.
e-mail me if you have any questions... |

My PS2 does the same thing....when i put a disk in and click on "Browser" it flashes "Reading disk" for about 2 seconds then it goes away and it doesnt even read the disk and it does that with all most of my games.
Sometimes it works if i keep pressing the "Open" button over and over again then it might finnally work but most of them dont work, expecally god of war, ive tried to get it to work and 300 times and nothing. Ive took it abort and clean it really good so....i just dont no, i guess ill open it again and figure out what to to with the little gear and the screws.
E-mail me if you have any ideas how to fix it
