A friend of mine has a ps2 that stopped reading discs, and I told him I would open it up and see if it was something simple since the warrenty was over. I also just remembered that opening a ps2 was a pain in the ass. Anyone think theres a chance its just a dirty laser that can be cleaned?
Aren't DVD lens cleaner disc thingies fairly cheap? Might aswell get one and give it a clean anyway.
My PS2 occasionally refuses to read the disc I just put in, and a quick cleaning seems to help.
Also, if you opened it up what would you be looking for?
yea, it might be a dead dvd-rom, or chip. try to clean it first with a cheap lens cleaner
thats a problem with some versions of ps2's the dvd rom's laser pot isnt aligned and it causes reading problems...i tried fixing my friends...and i just ended up puting in another rom drive for like 20 bucks
