#137 | If your ps2 is only a few months old...why did you break the seal???? It may be that it's just a defective ps2. See if sony will fix it, even though you've already opened it up.
If Sony says no, then follow the guide below to rotate the white wheel everyone's been talking about. Really, though, harass Sony, because you shouldn't have to do this w/ a 2-month-old ps2!!! http://www.techtv.com/xplay/features...516150,00.html

#141 | Disc Read Error What number do you call if you have the older version of the PS@ and you need to get the disc reader replaced. Someone said that sony will pay for it.

#142 | 1-800-345-SONY (in USA)
or go to www.us.playstation.com/support.aspx (North America), http://eu.playstation.com/europe/europ_select.jhtml (Europe)
But to be quite honest, you are beter off buying a new one because you will need to ship it (about $20) and then the part and labour (about $50) and a new PlayStation is now $50-$60...
Hold on, if you was meant to write PS2 instead of PS@ then yes, my PlayStation2 was 2 1/2yrs old and after troubleshooting, they allowed the diagnostic and repair fee to be waived. The only thing you pay is shipping the PlayStation2 to the nearest authorised repair centre (for the north east / east side of USA, it will be in PA). The number above is the number to call. You will need to navigate the menu options to Technical Support.

#143 | PS2 Disk Read Error Fix Getting the dreaded DRE's? (Disk Read Error) Heres what I did.
After taking apart my console, and trying unsuccessfully to align the disk angle wheel, (I could get it to read the disks but had to manually turn alignment wheel to different spots in order for it to work) Heres how I solved the problem. When the disk drive is opened, look for the laser eye. Remove the housing around it (VERY CAREFULLY) you will see the top laser eye. Take a can of compressed air and, (VERY CAREFULLY) clean it with a small blast of air or a q-tip and alcohol. Then, just underneath the top eye, is another laser eye. Again (VERY CAREFULLY) blow some compressed air to clean lower eye. Now, while its still opened, test each type of disk (Blue, ps1 black, music cd, DVD, ps2 dvd silver and gold) if they work then put it all back together. If that does not work, i don't know what will cuase I've tried everything else.

#145 | Playstation 2 disk tray wont open!!! Hey everyone! I tried to fix my playstation 2 because the laser didnt seem to be working as good as it used to. So a followed the instructions and opened the PSX2 and cleaned the laser, but when a tried to open the disk drive to clean the little wheel thingy. It wont open, i didnt drop it or even touch the drvie before. But now i can even play any thing on it or even get it to work because the disk drive just wont open at all. Any suggestions would be great. Because i dont think a will be able to live much longer not being able to play my PSX2 and buying a new one is a bit too expensive. Thanks | | Junior Member with 1 posts. | | |

#146 | Send it to sony Hello everyone.
I have been involed in thousands of these cases.
The best advice i can give you is bit the bullet and send it to sony.
It could be a number of different things.
Laser dirty, misalignment, laser getting weak, magnet in cd top getting weak, and many more.
You may have to buy alot more parts then you need in order to get this fixed.
So if sony is going to fix it for free..... send it to them.
