[twisterX]

when i put in a disk it does nothing just satys. nothing apperar and if i go to browser it says reading disk for like a sec and just syaty the same. no DATA appears on the scereen. Do i need to clean the laser or something. Is there too much dues. I got the 31009 model.

Yep happened to me too, same damn thing, haven't fixed mine yet but I heard that (dont know how true this is) that Sony will repair or replace it for free.

Just came up with something, I haven't thought about my piece of crap PS2 for a while, actually this post made me think of it, so for some strange reason I looked it all up on the internet and I came across this interesting self repair guide on a forum somewhere, it described the exact problems I was having, and said that they were easily fixable! I thought what the hell and did what it said, and omg I can't believe it my PS2 is actually working, here's the link,

Ummm ya might wanna know that by doing this you'll void the warranty, but as for myself I didn't care, if ya try it, good luck! :D

Alternatively give Sony a call and they'll give you a re-conditioned machine or get it repaired locally for you, regardless of when you bought it or what version you have :)

The thing to say is "My PS2 keeps saying it cant read the disks I put in" then go on to say you have tried the disks on a friends older PS2 and they work fine.

When they ask when and where you bought it simply say "I've had it under a year, I'm not sure of the exact date because I bought it from a friends catalogue and he's since moved away" (works everytime). Then they ask "Do you want to get it repaired or replaced with a re-conditioned one (almost new) ?"

Over the folllowing 2 days you'll simply receive your re-conditioned PS2 in one hand and give the kind chap at the door your old one.

A tried and tested method that works everytime.

Yeah but don't they want reciepts? :huh:

NOPE......remember.....you bought it from your 'recently moved away friends' catalogue :)
