perhaps not the best method to fix it ay

i think if you go to any video game store like Game they should be able to help in some way

I can just imagine...

You walk into GAME.
You: Hello, my Playstation 2 I bought a couple of years ago has stopped working.
Clerk: Whats wrong with it?
You: It doesn't play any games, apart from Midnight Club 2
Clerk suggests a ton of premium products for cleaning disks
You: No thanks, is there anything else you can do?
Clerk: Did you buy it from us?
You: Well, no.
Clerk: What the f**k do you want us to do then?

Ive had my ps2 since 2000 and I started getting my DRE (Disc Read Errors) in 2002. I got almost 2 good years out of it after that. You need to clean the lense. Get a dvd lense cleaner, 5 bucks, and if that doesnt work youll have to open it up and clean it manually. This voids the warranty but it gets the job done. You can send it in to sony and have them clean it for the price of a new ps2 though

If after awhile cleaning the lense doesnt work (I cleaned mine every 2 weeks or so since the errors kept coming back) then you are doing the have to change the angle the lense reads the disc. Thats why when Peerzyboy knocked it, it fixed it. He nidge the lense over barely into a spot that it would read discs. There is a guide somewhere floating around but if you cant find it Ill be glad to help. B)
