My ps2 slim won't play dvd's

[Jimmah]

Ok I recently bought a ps2 slim (used from Microplay), Bought it only for playing dvd's and my old ps1 games. 30 day warranty is over of course, here is the situation:

- Brand new dvd, no scratches
- The one ps2 game I bought works flawlessly
- old ps1 games work without problems


Finally got around to renting a movie a little while ago and it didn't work, fortunatly I saved my old dvd player and we got by with that, was hoping it was just the one dvd (had minor scratches) so I ignored it. Today we rent another movie, this time its fresh out of the plastic with perfect surface, pop it into the ps2 and I get the 'no data present' message or whatnot. Is this something one can fix at home? I'm so frustrated......

Thanks if anyone knows what may be the issue or helps out

I think with the new PS2's you need a remote that plugs into the controller port. IDK if this is true or not though.

I just tried a DVD, and it works with the game controller.

OP, im not sure whats wrong with your PStwo as it is able to read normal PS2 game-DVDs right?
