[Tikloos]

Well, i turn on like aldays.

[clickynext]

Anything show up on the screen? Is it a disc read error or does the PS2 not turn on at all?

 

[Tikloos]

disc read error

 

[Gibson486]

geesh, this problem is well documented on the internets.....

 

[fire400]

a lot of the times the motor to spin the disc dies, or the motor to properly eject the disc dies that sucks

if it was an xbox you could just replace the drive with a computer's optical drive

just buy an new ps2 chances are more stuff is going to break

 

[ondarkness]

LOL. sorry, can't help but laugh.
It should be cheeper to buy new by now, no?

 

[Tikloos]

Yeah....it sucks that the PS2 is so cheap. Tons of problems like that....

First and second gen Xbox were crap too. Makes me wonder about the 360...I haven't bought a console since Dreamcast. Too risky. 😛

air in a can it out, that might solve your problems temporarily.

if you ship it to me i'll fix it for free. but you have to pay for shipping both ways.

that makes it a lot worse. it just blows the dust all over the place. you have to take it apart and clean and maybe even adjust the laser. its easy.

yeah, you need to clean the laser and probably adjust the laser a little bit. that is a really easy process. let me know if you are interested i'll be able to help you out a little more.

In case you didn't actually read the link, all you do is send it to Sony and they'll fix it for free.

 

[saahmed]

Either buy a new one or just forget about it. The PS2 may work for some games. But it is not worth fixing it. It will probably cost like $60-$80 US.

 

[Eeezee]

Send it to Sony

 

[Tikloos]

ok , i might
