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.
what does satys mean? is it a retail copy or is it a burn copy?
it it "stays". and all my games are retail and it cant read any disks.Quote:

bump
ps2 went bad... gonna have to buy another sadly... if i were you i would say fuck sony
already hapenned to me .had to buy another one it means your laser is deadit my read one or two disks if it feels like it but i dont think so/buy another one if you havent cause paying for a laser and an engeneer costs almost the same as buying a new one :D
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
You could check here:
PS2 Laser Cleaning Instructions
Just don't make things worse.
i had same proble,, games wouldnt read at all, but then i cleaned laser, and it worked a lot better, just like new, hell, even better!!
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 :)
