Okay, I've read through this and I've been to troubleshooting and tried the whole 'turning the angle on the white geared wheel' thing--but my ps2 still won't play ps1 black discs. (granted that some of the discs haven't been in the best of my care, but still) I popped in disc 1 of Legend of Dragoon a few weeks ago after trying to change the angle several times, I finally got it to work. But then...I got to disc two!..x.x; And now--it won't even read the b****. My friend's copy of Legend of Dragoon is brand new (they take great care of their cd's) and I borrowed Dance Dance Revolution: Konamix from them as well. They work, but only after me stuggling for about twenty minutes and practically passing out after blowing into the thing! x.x; Can someone help me with this? I'm ready to chuck this #$#@ out of the window. And I'm not! I repeat! I am not sending this in to pay over 100 dollars when it was their fault in the first place for making faulty ps2's. And I'm not really wanting to beg the father figure for a new one when he spent money on this one! x.x; Well, if you can help me, it be great! Okay?


Light and Love,

What version? If it's like my ver. 9, I heard they hooked up the lazer wrong.
put 12 volts to it, and it sould be like 5.. Needless to say, that will "cook" a lazer.

I still have a PS1 for the games that don't like the PS2.. they are like $30 at second hand stores..

I don't play mine much, but every game has played... PS1 and 2..
OK, a gameshark from ebay didn't work but the newer Ver. 4 one did..

If you can stand it, just wait untill next year and get a PS3..

Load your disk and hold the ps2 almost upside down while it loads. Worked the first time I tried it with a blue disk game

[Shorty077]

My browser menu only shows on my ps2 slim model. It wont read a disk and spins only after turning it off and on and then quits, any suggestiond???

[Couriant]

check your disc for any marks/fingerprints etc and clean accordandly.

[coolguy204]

hey Mike9137 you have to clean the laser with a q tip covered in alchhol, u dont really need to turn the gear

[pinrut]

My PS2 seems slightly nostalgic, it will play games that it has played before but with anything new, even brand new games, it will display "reading disc..." for about one second then stop completely with no error message. The console is way past it's warranty and is missing a few screws from when the disc tray refused to open so i reckon getting it professionally repaired is out of the question.
Can anyone offer some advice please? (preferably not including purchasing anything =) ) Thanks.
p.s. this goes for all discs, clear and blue/purple.

[coolguy204]

open ur ps2 do it carefully. the silver strip is what opens the disc tray see if that is cut or torn also clean ur laser. this link will help clean laser. read the link to see how to open ur ps2. u really have to read it first or u will srew up ur ps2 even more.put the screwsback exactly where they were.

anyone having trouble with the blue playonline cd that comes with FF11? here is wat i did: Spray the data (blue) side with CD doctor fluid.WIPE VERY VERY GENTLY WITH CLOTH.then try again.worked for me (note:dont CD doctor it just use the fluid) also might work with other blue disk games but no luck with me only that one worked for me

[roosterpac]

This may work for Disc Read Error Too, something to try before voiding the warranty by opening up. Found this from a previous post "Load your disk and hold the ps2 almost upside down while it loads. Worked the first time I tried it with a blue disk game." Don't know how long this will work, but hope it gets me to the PS3 launch.

This works at least for if one media won't play. Easy to try before sending to Sony or cracking it open.
