yep i had this problem once means its mafuckto
it ends up scratching your disks and fucking them up permanently!!!
i think it was aggravated coz my ex threw it which led us to a break up 5 minutes later..... 4 year relationship gone!
but year mine was about 1 year and a bit old i ignored the ticking at first then all of a sudden all started with the game the getaway he froze during cut scenes I took the disk out it literately burned a round circle scratch mark on the entire disk

Anyone know of a good place to buy a new ps2 cd/dvd dual laser part, website? Is it possible to install such a thing with ease...or what do you recommend me do with a ps2 that plays everything but DVD movies and games with a void warranty label. (4 years ago...didn't worry)

Getting the new slimline v10 soon, but I could have had an extra for my bro. We got a share again now. He has another tv too..would have been nice.if i was you id just buy another 1 if i had the dough
I'm just wondering if a new laser is easy to install.. I can solder most computer things pretty well...not to bad?

Found one at Divineo! $50 though, and the refurbished for about $30 is out of stock.
Can't you buy version 4-8 ps2s (non-slim) for like $60-80?

I know this might sound rather risky, but mine also was having the same problem. It has the chip to play backups, and it wasn't playing any backups, and only a few originals. I was just gonna buy a new one, so I decided to open it up and see if I could find anything wrong. I didn't find anything at all, but decided to take a q-tip with rubbing alcohol on it and clean the lense. I did this, and now it works fine. Just be careful and don't lose any screws and you should be ok

its a common problem called DRE
google are look at your other thread where I posted a link on how to fix it.

tried nearly 10 steps to help solve DRE..no dice either.
I'm gonna buy a new laser and install to save money, so my bro can also have a ps2 of his own.
damn, I heard some people installed the new laser and it did'nt fix the "dvd" problem. Uhg, what crap!
